It is as if for the last 15 years, the repeat program would run. Yesterday evening, the Grasshoppers are reported to the next roll-over. The long-time donor, Heinz Scion pulls back as the main shareholder. His 30-percent share of the half to President Stephan Anliker and Peter Stüber, have now both 45 percent of the shares. The remaining 10 percent are more dispersed.
GC is record master. However, since the 27. and last title in 2003, made it still fall over at the top, redundant sports heads, internal strife, released trainers and constant money problems headlines. Not infrequently, the events of the mud were accompanied battles. Once the Club was ridiculous, as he fell to the wrong Sheik. The sporting highlight of the Cup race victory of 2013 in the past 15 years.
Peter Stüber
Now, therefore, the withdrawal of Scion, a donor, a man with a GC-heart. He was already kicked 2014. At the time, had on him the criticism, to carry the ideas of Einflüsterer Erich Vogel to the Board of Directors. In the most recent Communiqué is now the Club thanks him “for his decades-long, very big commitment”.
The quarrel soon came
In January 2018, the Scion had taken together with Anliker and Stüber a majority of the shares. The three were in harmony, however, only briefly, in early summer, they were estranged already, because you couldn’t decide some of the structural and human Key. The Scion forced the Board of Directors Roland Klein had started into the day to day business to interfere, in the Background, the former Manager bird with mischelte. Small was dismissed. Soon after, he also coach Murat Yakin had to go.
click and Anliker wanted to shoot at the time, stock take, but Scion turned down the offer. Why has he decided about half a year later, however, his package? He does not like to comment on. But obviously, he wanted to occupy the Board of Directors other than Anliker and click. And, above all, he was tired of having money again zeroing. For Anliker and Stüber, however, was clear: Either Scion invested again, or he should withdraw. To the Board of Directors of a note is: He fits the image of GC. After the recent departure of Stav Jacobi three persons: Anliker, Georges Perego and András Gurovits. And the money is to say: This is a story not just ends.
Heinz Scion
The Grasshoppers life for decades, far in excess of what you generate. They could be in the 80s and 90s, thanks to powerful donors in the back still series champion. Once the Werner Scion, the uncle of Heinz, who worked as a house Bank. Later it was CS-Banker Rainer gut, and Roche-CEO Fritz Gerber, who had bought the last GC title for CHF 46 million, explained as Well as compared to the “Tages-Anzeiger”. In the 2003/04 season, the two have contributed for the last Time, to cover a deficit of 11.4 million Swiss francs, and gave GC the transfer of rights of ten players. Thereafter, the financial descent began. Since then, the GC-Mantra: no money, no success, no strategy, no broad backing of the Fans.
Yakin’s Super Treaty
Scion has now given his shares, without the need for money is gone. The reason: The papers are worth nothing. The football Department is a barrel without a bottom. Again and again, GC was on the precipice. Without the extraordinary income in the transfer business the Club can generate per season, 10 to 12 million francs. Spend he does always around the 20 million Swiss francs. As CEO, Manuel Huber received some time ago with the mandate to identify savings opportunities, he came to a total of 67’000 Swiss francs. In the case of Murat Yakin, he has not found this money. Apparently, the coach had negotiated his until the end of 2019, the current contract is so good that GC had to pay a Million francs in compensation.
Anliker, shoot and click-the start of their adventure together, accounted for 9 million Swiss francs. This money is already spent. GC is already in a liquidity bottleneck. Now it is up to Anliker and Stüber, the lack of money be put in the oven, 8 to 9 million. Scion got rid of this duty, GC-heart but wants him to “continue to selected sports projects”, as it says in the message. And that he remains President of the patrons Association of Blue Label, the procured per year, over a Million. Apparently some patrons to link their contribution to the Work of shoot.
Could be GC even in bankruptcy, because Scion, as a shareholder is exited? Hardly. The financial circumstances of Anliker are not exactly known, but the architect has made with real estate transactions so much money that a GC Insider says about him: “One should not underestimate its financial possibilities.” And Stüber, has earned as the main importer of Mercedes so much money that the “balance sheet” estimated his fortune at 800 to 900 million francs, may afford some additional millions for GC without any problems. The long-time President of the Zurich Tonhalle will do that as well. In the NZZ, he once said: “There were times when we were on the verge of bankruptcy. Since I had to help.”
Stephan Anliker
A solution for the Future of the 79-year-old click but it is not. And Anliker can spice up the Club is hardly alone. In his tenure, there were so many crises and so little success in this sport, he is part of the problem. As CEO of Huber, the balance after five years is true as well skinny. As head of sports, Mathias Walther, who was able to sporty move so far, nothing really. The current team has no face.
the second round starts on Saturday, When, to fight the Grasshoppers against the descent. You want to be a brand, you not only need to finally, a healthy economic base. But also leadership skills. (Editorial Tamedia)
