Suspicion of coercion: a study against GC Fans

"initiated by The public Prosecutor's office Lucerne, in the meantime, an investigation due to suspicion of coercion. In addition, it is a question of whether the Fans behavior with their behavior otherwise criminally relevant," writes the office in a Communiqué. Part of masked, GC Fans have increased throughout the game on the grid of the swisspor arena and have prompted, among other things, the player, their jerseys off.

In Zurich, tomorrow is the new GC President, Stephan Rietiker took meanwhile, at the mounting position. "You can call me a wimp," said the for the past seven weeks as President, working Rietiker, "but I had to weigh up, even if it was blackmail."

About two dozen Fans from the guests sector had exceeded the safety fence, and so for a break and, ultimately, for the demolition of the lot. The anarchists demanded after a conversation with Rietiker, and goalkeeper Heinz Lindner, the publication of the GC-jerseys, what happened. He had taken a "contre Coeur" and ashamed, said Rietiker, but it so, to avoid worse. "It's not a knee was the case, but it went to de-escalation."

Rietiker took after the incident, the second of GC Fans forced game crash within two months of the other players in the duty. "It is also a political and social Problem." Car sinners would be punished in the Swiss society harder than Criminals, so the 62-Year-old. "In Germany, when American Football in the United States or in England, these people were dissipated in the box car." The GC President calls on the policy, the League and the clubs to act. He advocates for a reasonable Mix between dialogue and Repression.

The initial descent after 70 years of the highest level of Rietiker looks in spite of the disappointment as an opportunity: "It gives us the opportunity to restructure the club in a very fundamental way." For the record Champions from the two residents, Bernhard Heusler and Georg Heitz can advise the former President and sports Director of FC Basel. "It's not a stone remains on the other," says Rietiker. The search for a head of sports is in full swing, in place of the outgoing CEO, Manuel Huber, a COO should be installed for Finance, Administration and Marketing.

Whether the Budget should be in the new season, still 20 million Swiss francs, was open Rietiker. The goal is, as little money as possible, but as much as necessary to spend. That the people would now turn away from the club, does not believe Rietiker. There were people who would understand this descent as a point of departure. "And the true Fans will be able to show in the Challenge League, that you are to us."

The Operation resurgence will be sought with the coach Uli Forte, even if this could not prevent the descent. "Of course, he is the right coach," said Rietiker. "He has my trust and that of the owner." Along with Heitz Forte wants to put a strong team together. "Because GC belongs in the Super League and nowhere else," said the Coach.
