The dispute about FC Luzern never ends. A week ago, the club submitted the license papers for the next season without the signature of stadium owner Bernhard Alpstaeg. The 77-year-old shareholder has now contacted the Swiss Football League (SFL) through his lawyer and requested access to the license application.
For FCL Holding AG it is clear why. “Bernhard Alpstaeg has taken another step to hinder the permitting process,” the board of directors writes in a statement. Alpstaeg wants to make the previously refused signature conditional on “whether FCL Holding AG agrees to its proposal to have the ownership issue of the block of shares originally held by Walter Stierli decided by a so-called arbitration procedure instead of an ordinary court procedure”.
The board of directors doesn’t want to know about that. He is confident that the case will be judged “competently and appropriately” by the ordinary courts. The letter also states that Alpstaeg has also “ultimately reserved the right to terminate the lease agreement between Stadion Luzern AG and Swissporarena Events AG, which runs until 2029”.
Sacha Wigdorovits, Alpstaeg’s communications advisor, did not want to go into detail about the content of the letter they sent to the union when asked. Only so much: “The claim that Bernhard Alpstaeg threatened to cancel the lease is not true.” In any case, the latest press release is just another maneuver by the board of directors to divert attention from the club’s self-inflicted financial problems. “You are not interested in a quick fix. They want to postpone everything because they are sure they will lose and that Bernhard Alpstaeg will get his 52 percent back.”
Wigdorovits also clarifies that the board of directors has broken a promise made during the meeting with SFL CEO Claudius Schäfer and Mayor Beat Züsli. “We have agreed not to disclose the content of the conversation. However, by coming out and talking about the arbitration procedure – which Claudius Schäfer proposed and not us, as the club wrongly claims – he violates the agreement that was made.
