Wacker insiders believe that payments are being deliberately withheld in order to urge board members to resign. The term of office of the club management officially ends in 2023.
Meanwhile, Wacker GmbH has already appointed an independent auditor who is supposed to go over the accounts. “We all now have to deal quickly with the incidents and deal with them. Everything has to be on the table: Whether at
the GmbH or the association – we need to know if things went wrong. We are concerned with transparency. And professionalism, “says Dennis Aogo.” We are all also aware that Wacker can only be successful in the long term if we work professionally at all levels. To do this, we have to tackle things quickly and clear them up. “
For now, of course, something else is urging. In a few days, money should come in from Hamburg again. The next payment date is due on May 31, 2021, when salaries of employees and players, as well as outstanding invoices from suppliers, will be transferred. Since we do not want to jeopardize upcoming and contractually secured incoming payments under any circumstances, we will wait for this payment date and will not publicly communicate it again until June 1st, 2021 “, writes the board of directors.
The payments are the most pressing problem for the traditional club for the time being. It is unclear how things should and can go on with this quarreling bunch afterwards. It is difficult to imagine that the board and management will turn green again with this staffing. “There’s a lot of sand in the machine, but we wouldn’t be sitting here if we weren’t interested in the club“, Says managing director Jens Duve.
