Hertha BSC: Gegenbauer attacks investor Windhorst – “Club on fire”

After resigning as President

After his resignation as President of Hertha BSC, Werner Gegenbauer made serious allegations against million-dollar investor Lars Windhorst. “In the past few weeks, in the middle of the relegation battle, he has set the club on fire. Windhorst is responsible for a split that has unsettled the club and all departments. It will be the task of my successor to reverse this split,” Gegenbauer said.daily mirror“.

Gegenbauer had announced his resignation on Tuesday after 14 years at the top of the association and had thus preempted a humiliating vote-out at the general meeting next Sunday (11:00 a.m.). Windhorst, among others, called for Gegenbauer to fall in March and accused the entrepreneur of having burned his investment of 375 million euros at Hertha.

Gegenbauer now accused Windhorst of mood-mongering. “He lures by giving more money when the club gets a new leadership,” he said. He and the outgoing finance director Ingo Schiller stood in the way of the 45-year-old in order to gain more influence over the operational business of the Bundesliga club, emphasized Gegenbauer in an interview “Bild” newspaper. At the same time, Windhorst “very often” did not meet his payment obligations on time, which “has caused considerable turbulence in the license player department,” said Gegenbauer. “It was my duty to demand compliance with the treaties (…). To protect Hertha BSC.”

Gegenbauer would handle the deal between Hertha BSC and Windhorst again

Windhorst is expected to respond to the allegations on Wednesday. The financial expert had also accused Gegenbauer of cheating, which the former Hertha boss firmly rejected. “In short: everything went correctly. Those are the facts,” said the 71-year-old. “If the constructive and trusting cooperation between me and the executive committee, all committees, departments and employees of Hertha BSC is described as ‘cheating’, then Mr. Windhorst still hasn’t understood the nature of our club. We Herthaners stick together. We certainly also argue, perhaps too often, but we are united on the matter. The best for Hertha BSC. This principle has guided me in everything.”

Despite the harsh words, Gegenbauer described the deal with Windhorst as the best decision of his tenure. “I would do it again. Firstly, because Hertha BSC urgently needed this money for change as a club and company. Without this money we would be worse off. And secondly, because I believe in the advantages of an investment,” said Gegenbauer. In the future, the cooperation will be “quieter and more harmonious”.
