Jan Smit accepts FC Volendam’s resignation and skips special meeting

Jan Smit accepts his resignation from FC Volendam. In a message on

Smit is clear in the message that has just been published. “The board was already given notice of resignation on Sunday. We have no choice but to accept it. A turkey doesn’t go to Christmas dinner either.” In another post on X he calls the meeting a ‘big play’.

Icon

Smit and the other board members were invited by the supervisory board to attend an extraordinary meeting to explain their views. “We regard Jan Smit as an icon of Volendam society and would like to thank him and his fellow board members, whatever the decision, for the efforts they have made on behalf of FC Volendam,” said chairman Jaap Veerman of the Supervisory Board ( Supervisory Board) earlier this week.

Continuity

According to the Supervisory Board, the future of FC Volendam is in danger. A statement earlier this week stated that the club has a negative equity of three million euros and that there is a risk of a deficit of 2.3 million euros for the current season. Because the Supervisory Board has no confidence that the current board led by Jan Smit will take measures, they want the dismissal of the entire board.

According to Smit, there is no worrying financial situation and Volendam is actually making transfer profits due to its policy, which means that the club can “start a new season with a clean, well-filled slate in the next financial year.”

With the message, Smit seems to accept his resignation. Whether that will actually happen will become clear in the coming days.
