"?German outfit Schalke 04 sent 50 crates of beer to amateur club Wedeler TSV following a domino effect which left the poor team without a coach.

Complicated story that, but the tweet below explains.

"?"?Wedeler's director of sport told German newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine that he rang Schalke's director of sport and outlined two options as compensation: 50 crates of beer or a friendly match between the two clubs.
Well, they aren't getting a friendly.
