But some was not enough. "We needed consolidation in the wake of a manager who puts more emphasis on the Commercial," said Board boss Claus Horstmann. That is only half the truth.
According EXPRESS information had VfL Sponsors Jochen Kienbaum and business Cub spokesman Marc Schröder increased financial commitment from the Houlet conditional. Whose contract expires in April, begins in February and takes Geerken.
Now, management consultants Kienbaum allegedly intended to take over much of the backlog (€ 3 million). In addition, new money flowed into the accounts, unpaid salaries can be paid Wednesday.

The door is open to him: Even in Wetzlar Geerken regarded as his close confidant. As long as looking at the goings Horstmann, under these conditions, however, seems questionable.
