The situation has long since become too complex for outsiders to comment on the content in a qualified manner. I don’t assume it. Meanwhile, a whole armada of highly specialized lawyers here and there is busy with the case of “majority shareholder or not.” They’ll figure out what’s going on.
One thing is clear: it was a terrible story from the start, and it probably won’t get any better. It really doesn’t matter if you call it farce, vilification, bickering or, as one participant recently said, gossip theatre.
FC Lucerne is a matter of style. As a Swiss musician, Bligg sings so beautifully: “Style chamer nöd Learn nei Manhattan or nööd”. In this matter, no one seems to have blessed him.
Bernhard Alpsteg is not “polteri” as in the book, not Bieri’s side, which also acts very emotionally, and not honorary president Walter Stirli. When he showed up at the Schützenhaus Luzern yesterday, it was more like an elephant in a china shop. All the FCL china had symbolically smashed on the floor long ago. The heart of the fans of the central Swiss blue and white must shrink from this spectacle.
It’s incredible how people in Lucerne will be able to focus on playing football again in just a few weeks. If this continues, both sides will continue to stir up the situation and fight for their cause. Only so that in the end everyone gets out of this power game as losers. It’s a pity. Shame for the traditional club, shame for the sport.
