Another strange episode before the FCS sellout: Jimmy Berisha is already running without a mandate for Schaffhausen

We see a photo that has been taken a thousand times in the football world. Two men hold a club jersey into the camera and smile about signing a contract. But there is a significant cosmetic flaw in this photo, taken at a football fair in Saudi Arabia, which has now been deleted on social media.

The shirt and logos on the wall come from FC Schaffhausen, but one of the two men is Jimmy Berisha. Does Berisha already work for the FCS? No. The ex-GC CEO will probably one day actually dock in Schaffhausen: Blick made public that Berisha and also ex-national star Admir Mehmedi, as sports director, will be the new strongmen at the Challenge League club after the club is sold .

The post was followed by a rain of denials

The transfer of the FCS to the as yet unknown investor behind Berisha and Mehmedi is well advanced, but not yet completed. And that is why Berisha is not yet in office. That is why, after the ominous image appeared, a rain of denials came from all sides. Berisha signed a cooperation agreement with the Egyptian talent factory “Assist Football Academy” without an FCS mandate.

First denial: This comes from FCS president Roland Klein on local radio in Schaffhausen. “He was not acting on my behalf. I didn’t even know he was in Saudi Arabia,” says the club boss, who has been out of the operational business for a long time due to a knee operation and recently only appeared as a silent spectator at an FCS media event. How close Berisha is the FCS is, according to the FCS paraphernalia used, that someone from the club must have given him.

The truth behind the episode is simple

Second denial: from Berisha herself. “All I can say is that there is nothing wrong,” reports the non-CEO. Third denial: from the Egyptian football academy involved. “We currently have no partnership with any Swiss club,” the Egyptians told Blick, “our social media department accidentally posted this message.”

But the truth behind this strange episode is simple: Berisha is already thinking about the future. The conclusion of the contract with the Egyptians is not valid immediately, but only when the FCS is sold. The photo was already taken in advance – it’s just a shame that the Egyptians were probably not fully aware of who still owns the majority of shares in Schaffhausen.

Now opinions differ. Is it an unforgivable mistake or does Berisha even take a beating for doing his best for the FCS even before taking over the club?
