Gummersbach --
Bang at VfL Gummersbach: Tuesday evening, the club was aware of the separation of CEO Francois-Xavier Houlet.
His successor, Axel Geerken of the HSG Wetzlar.
Under the French ex-captain was the 2008/09 FC played the most successful season in almost 20 years, has been Cup finalists and European champions. After the bloodletting in the summer of drumming "Zouzou" together a team that played a part, despite the international level is now waiving places.
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.
Also on the market for players of the FC again attacked: Kienbaum contacted the Essenes Patrick Wiencek, wanted the Houlet early as 2008. Sasha Bratic, consultants Goran Stojanovic, Drago Vukovic and Vedran Zrnic, offers hard-working players in the Balkans.
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.
