You should research before talking crap.

Fahrmann has the second best stats in playing "to nil" and in "minutes per goal against". And Schalke is not even the second best defenders in Liga. BVB and Leverkusen conceded less goals.
I won't say he is the second best goalkeeper in the Liga, because he played less games than his counterparts, but this still shows that he has been the first Schalke goalkeeper in years that has top quality.
As a comparison:

Giefer is the 10th on the list for clean sheets of the second Bundesliga.
You can't compare Fährmann to Unnerstall. Unnerstall was never really regarded as a good GK. Maybe he had some good saves, but he was a constant insecure factor. Him and Hildebrand being the first goalkeepers was the reason why the fans and club wanted Giefer (they also wanted Baumann and Yann Sommer back then). Ralf Fährmann has been injured that time. Since he recovered, he made an absolute impact and impressed everyone.
As a matter of fact, Fährmann has been unlucky a long time. He was considered as a future number 1 GK when they brought him back after Neuer left Schalke. But since then he has been injured a lot. Now, having a season without injury, he is even accepted by fans, something the 2 GK before him never were.
I am not attacking on you (not even a Schalke fan). Just saying facts. Giefer will be the second goalkeeper, Hildebrand and Unnerstall will leave anyway. Also, Fährmann has extended his contract until 2019. Don't you think they would never do that if they want Giefer as GK number one? He will still be an importand member though, as nobody knows if Fährmann will be without injury next season. But if he stays fit, I don't see a chance for Giefer to replace him.
