Blick readers about FCB boss: ‘Degen does not want to admit that he has failed’

FC Basel has reached the abyss. After leaving international business early on, FCB have been at the bottom of the table since Sunday’s 3-0 defeat to YB. ‘We are in a relegation battle! We have to face it,” the president explains in the “Home Game” lecture on Blue Sport. Degen talks about the Muttenzer curve, the difficult financial situation, his strategy to get FCB back on the road to success and mistakes in personnel decisions.

The conversation sparked heated debate in the Blick community. Many people cannot imagine that FCB will emerge from the crisis under David Degen. This includes reader Bruno Gasser: “There is only one solution: the sword and the bird must take off their hats. Then there is still a chance to stay in the competition. They will never admit to themselves that they have completely failed!”

Peter Thomi also does not believe that Degen’s strategy will work: “When almost all the top players were sold after last season, it was clear that something was wrong. A club must be able to retain good players as much as possible. It’s probably because of the money. The further problem may be that the dismantling that has taken place has never been adequately explained and the sporting objectives have been maintained. You have to tell the fans early on that it’s about staying in the league. You can’t just take it easy and hope that talent and new players will come quickly.”

“Thanks, David Degen”

Not everyone is against the existing Basel leadership. «Degen will get it done! You need two or three very good reinforcements and then you will even be in fourth or fifth place at the end of the season. At the moment we only have about thirteen players who are suitable for the Super League, which is simply a big risk. The other players are declining sharply. Keywords: Barry, Van Breemen, Malone and Demir,” writes reader Erich Schweizer.

Reader Tonja Spielmann reminds us that David Degen is not solely responsible for Basel’s waste. «A certain Mr. Burgener destroyed the FCB. Degen has taken over a sinking ship and is now doing everything he can to prevent it from sinking. It is hard work to get the deficit from 35 million to 8 million.”

The conclusion comes from reader Rolf Vogt, who even thanks Degen for the work he has done so far: “Thank you for tearing yourself up for FCB! FCB will emerge from this crisis stronger and financially healthy. I wish you all the best and again: thank you!”
