In Bern, the people are spoiled

they ran after winning the title as the only Berner with a straight view through the catacombs. Is the 16. Title so bad?
Marc Lüthi: (laughs) no, he is so beautiful. But the time to Enjoy the parade from the Saturday to the Most, when everything is over. Up to this Moment, a certain tension will be there. It is important to me that during the celebrations, nothing Ugly happened. We don't want minor scandals, no scandals, once.

In the night was still burned, no train, shawl.
This Status has established the EVZ even (laughs). Seriously: Such things I mean.

Each title has a story. What is the story behind this?
There were many "Side Effects", repulsive, with which the team faced was. But you.

What are you thinking?
family sale like Mursak and Rüfenacht send, to the suffering story of sander, the serious injury of Grassi in the Playoff, which instigated stencil hockey stories: All of these things, the Team could move to the side. It tears flowed, but none has crashed, because he was caught by the Team.

What is the role of coach Kari Jalonen played?
He has confirmed his reputation as a successful coach. I can't find anything good at what he does. But my Job is not to find anything good. It is my Job to ask the tough questions. And the Job of the sports guide by Alex Chatelain is to explain and to justify why we are on the right path.

What awkward questions have you asked?
I read what is written in the media and in the forums. I see myself as an advocate for the Fans. There were ice ages, questions about the System. I had to learn that in the Playoff no opposing Coach was as flexible as Kari. He has always adjusted back to the little things. In the quarter-finals of the Geneva sold their skin as expensive as possible. Against Biel, we 0:2 and 2:3 were. Kari adapted the System, the 1:0 success in the sixth game in Biel was outstanding. And, of course, it is essential that it has in this Team a lot of character heads.

"The Team was in the Playoff, not from the beginning."

The strong core of leadership of the players is the big Plus.
Sven Leuenberger has introduced the strategy, Alex Chatelain continues undeterred by any criticism: character before Talent.

In contrast to the environment and to the Fans, the team showed that it has not made the success of tired of it.
The Team was not Playoff ready. It is the "quali hockey moved" further, while the competition put a shovel on it. We had succeeded in this a little late. But it managed to.

Biel and train celebrated hockey festivals. For the organization of SCB, it seemed to be "Business as usual" to play for the title.
That's not true. But why Basel has problems? Why has Real Madrid's problems? The are also a success-saturated organizations. We have played since 2010, in 6 Finals and 5 titles brought. Much better is not.

The perfect time for you to Stop.
no. It's extreme challenges. And me irritates, when it is most difficult.

you think of the funding model with the gastronomy, which subsidises the sports landscape. It pushes the limits.
One of those people, of whom I am the biggest Fan of, is assigned to tracks on the peak after eight. What happened with the organization? She came into a difficult Phase. Exactly in such moments, it needs experienced people, who accept the challenge.

Bernhard Heusler should have been the FC Basel not to leave?
Yes.

"We need to raise money. Point."

Have you told him that?
Yes.

Again: With the existing business model of the SCB can not continue to grow.
That's right. We need to tap into new financial sources, which help us in the medium and long term with the Clubs to keep up with the support of patrons.

what sources do you think?
We need to raise money. Point.

the direction In which to lead the Discussion?
We first need to find people to help us.

So, patrons of the arts?
no. But to invest in people who are willing to be a little bit of something.

for What?
This is not a judgment.

you could use this platform and for the first Time to talk about it?
no, it is too early.

"we Must build a new hall? Such are the questions that concern us."

Terms of stadium revenue seems to be the Ceiling also achieved. Apparently, plans for a new building to exist. SCB-legend Renato Tosio has said, the SCB must never abandon the stand-up ramp. She was a part of the myth of the SCB.
In the next 10 years, nothing will happen. After the contract expires. It is our duty to think ahead: we Need to build a new hall? The existing hall is completely closed and air-conditioning? There needs to be a tour, as he is in modern stadiums is commonplace? Are 10 000 seats, standing room, nor opportune, or would do 7000? These are the questions that concern us.

The free-standing ramp is an important Negotiating point to sponsors. She was so occupied is bad for a number of years.
increased The "No shows" on the standing places compared to the previous year by approximately 10 percent. We speak of from 400 to 500 people on average. There are event tourists. This search for the Event increasingly on the other side of the paper mill road in the case of YB, that is legitimate.

Speaking of "No shows": the SCB to Show little?
in Terms of the framework program, we are making certain changes. Before the Playoff, a renowned Manager followed a discussion among Fans, whether the sausages were still good enough. He said to me: "Läck, have your Fans problems. You have a lot of things right." We are working on the product. But good Hockey must be the base.

"The people in Bern are spoiled."

you have referred to as the lawyer for the Fans. Your clients criticized the coach for months. After the title Jalonens Name was chanted. What went through your head?
That people are spoiled in Bern. On Easter Saturday one of them said to me after the second third of the Lift: "you do not have to only be in the back!" In the result, we have seen, which is why it is helpful is that you can back are clean and close. Without this quality we would have lost the fifth final game. If you put the Fan-heart to the side, to suspend it this season.

you are a proponent of entertainment. Take seriously the criticism in terms of boredom?
Which I take very seriously. But it was not boring. Clear a weekend with two 2:1 Victories against Rapperswil no joy. But the Playoff has compensated for a lot of things.

So no boredom?
Outside of Switzerland, you explained it to me, Kari Jalonen let the state of the art ice hockey play. Just flat out go on the Offensive and lose it: no, thank you! The time of the Big Bad Bears is over. Such football results today, to success. The also had to learn I.

take Jalonen, therefore, as the first coach of the Era Lüthi the SCB, a fourth season?
He has a contract. A finish is not an issue. Except for a stinking rich Russian Club puts millions on the table.

"Kari Jalonen is in character, a person who fails to comply with treaties."

Would you let him go?
This is a hypothetical question. Kari is a character, a person who complies with contracts. But we enjoy the Moment. There are enough challenges ahead of us.

For example, in the gate.
We will have with Schlegel and Caminada two good Goalies, the need to prove that you can be mostly goalies. With Wüthrich's in the Pipeline, which has just become a League deeper master. We need a System which helps the Goalies. We have, thanks to Kari. It is good to come.

exclude, that in the course of the next season to Arno Del Curto and Chris McSorley in Bern to the gang?
(laughs out loud) I'm going to assume that we will take the next season with Kari in attack and, hopefully, in mid-April with him.

And then McSorley?
never say never.

Or of the eternal lure of the Arno to a halt.
no.
