and now it's official: jonny kittel is leaving hamburger sv. hsv has not made jonny kittel a new offer .
kittel has played 136 games for hsv in the last 4 years and has scored 36 goals. it is not known to which club kittel is moving.
he would like to get a well-paid longer contract . and hsv did not want to offer him that .

Do not understand this. Kittel was an important player in Hamburg last season. But maybe he wanted too much money and the club was not willing to pay it.

The cost of a team however cannot be the only factor used to determine success. The intricate process of promotion is influenced by a number of variables such as the performance of their rivals and the chemistry of the team. Although having financial support is advantageous it does not ensure automatic promotion.

Indeed. Many factors determine success and money is not everything. But one of the most important. That was seen very well at Hoffenheim.
