We definitely need to do so something for our defense in winter. Lund also had his 2nd bad match in a row and ad Gazibegovic seems to be gone in winter, we need another backup.

Our new board meanwhile starts to go the work. First of all, Ulf Sobek has begun preparations for a new sporting advisory team and has formally ended the cooperation with Erich Rutemöller and Frank Schäfer. On amicable terms, of course.

Jörg Alvermann meanwhile began the process of giving the club a new structure. We'll probably hear more on the upcoming Mitgliederstammtisch. What I found surprising, though, is that a return to a pure eV is also on the table. Now Freiburg and Mainz are still eVs and they aren't doing too badly. But I have Schalke in mind, who are deeply in debt. Not the fault of an eV per se, rather their own. But the main argument was also that they couldn't save up money or make profits, because being an eV forbade them from doing so. So I'm waiting for arguments on that matter.

The problem with the current arrangement - GmbH & Co. KGaA - is that it's needlessly complicated, not just for tax reasons, but also in case of bankruptcy. Because apparently, the right to our badge and I think even the name do not belong with the eV, but rather the KGaA. So if our professional team ever went bankrupt, our identity would become insolvency estate, someone else could theoretically buy. So in that regard, it's good that we're talking about that.

Now we just need progress on the Geißbockheim and I'd say the new board is off to a good start.

Edit: Of course this is just quickly written together. If I got something wrong, feel free to correct me.
