There is strength in restlessness!

There is strength in peace. This is not only preached in every Feng Shui seminar and yoga class. This applies to all areas of life.

Peace and harmony are needed both in business and in football. One leadership, a presidency that works together in a spirit of trust and speaks with one voice. This is the supposed recipe for success in every company and every club. And if it does not work, the analysis is done quickly. The fish rots from the head.

harmony and continuity. FC St. Gallen has also made this a priority. The contract with coach Peter Zeidler was extended for another two years until 2027 last January, two and a half (!) years before it expired. The trio around president Matthias Hyuppi, sporting director Alain Sutter and Seidler swore eternal love.

The Eastern Swiss give the impression that they want to prove to the fickle football world that there is another way. As if you wanted to undermine the laws of the football business, the hire-fire thing. This permanent and excited actionism wants to show a long nose. Message: We will not allow ourselves to be irritated. We walk the path together. Through thick and thin.

What is forgotten is that football years are like dog years. Everything must be multiplied by seven.

Things are not going well in St. Gallen right now. As you might expect, no one can be driven mad. On the contrary: it would not be surprising if Seidler extended his contract until 2034 next week. And put him on the bench in St. Gallen, as is now in vogue.

To clarify: Zeidler is the best coach. His adventure football makes even defeat bearable. And the leadership of FC St. Gallen positioned the club in the best possible way and made it a role model in the league.

Nevertheless, such annuities are absurd. Football is not set in stone, you cannot chain yourself to your strategy with skin and hair. This can quickly lead to a kind of ideological blindness. And they have a paralyzing effect both inside and out.

St. Gallen hasn’t won anything in recent years. And now swing in the dangerous area of ​​the table. As the others. Lucerne and GC are making a splash right now. They take the thesis of a calm and well-coordinated management of the club as a guarantee of success to the point of absurdity. There are lamps, theater, uncertainty and power struggles. But Mario Frick and Giorgio Contini convert negative currents into positive energy and create a productivity-enhancing climate. Especially now.

It doesn’t matter that new GC board member Bill Pan doesn’t have a plan. The Continental has one. As is Frick. They are part of the tingling phase of the end of the season. In a league that will set a new attendance record.

The fact that some traditional clubs are in intensive care when it comes to leadership and the future does not affect the field in any way.

Apparently, there is strength in restlessness!
