We&#8217;re very disappointed about the departure of  Felix, but we feel this is the best solution for Schalke.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Magath,  who  also held a position as a member of Schalke&#8217;s board, had earlier  refused to attend his meeting with the club, and released a statement  through his laywer prior to his dismissal that outlined his position,  which read: &#8220;Mister Magath won&#8217;t attend  Wednesday&#8217;s board meeting as he  feels participating doesn&#8217;t make any  sense. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Mister Magath  only received a minimal and incomplete agenda of  the meeting on  Tuesday.
