“The way in which Frans acted does not match the standards and values of FC Utrecht, where a safe working climate is paramount,” explains chairman of the Supervisory Board Pieter Leyssius. “Frans has been a very involved shareholder for 15 years, who has meant and still means a lot to the club, but in his emotion he went too far last Saturday.” Van Seumeren apologized to the staff and players the next day. The entire Supervisory Board has carefully discussed the incident in recent days. “Frans regrets it and has assured us as the Supervisory Board, but also the entire club, that this will never happen again.”
The Supervisory Board is convinced that after the discussions with Frans van Seumeren, the frameworks, responsibilities and rules that apply to Supervisory Board members will be properly observed.
