Belgian Football As the of the commission of inquiry of the bond depends, play KV Mechelen and Waasland-Beveren next year in 1B. But legal wrangling beckons. With the case-Bellemans there is already a similar precedent. When were not the clubs, but only individuals punished.
Both KVM and Waasland-Beveren hang heavy penalties above the head, but the involved clubs will hold on. “We are innocent”, sounds upset about that. Waasland-Beveren-chairman Dirk george chapman: “The club is considering further steps to take.” KVM-majority shareholder Dieter Penninckx makes that even more concrete. He says that “relegation is impossible, according to the bondsreglement.”
