VfB Stuttgart reacts to allegations
A “development that is no longer compatible with my entrepreneurial and personal principles,” she wrote, “especially in questions of economic decisions, in matters of transparency and in terms of the way important and fundamental decisions are made”. In addition, the 50+1 regulation at VfB “now only on paper”.
The VfB announced that it had “perceived the way of Beck-Deharde’s resignation”.
Dietmar Allgaier, Chairman of the Supervisory Board and President of the Stuttgart, said: “We respect this personal decision by Ms. Beck-Deharde. Nevertheless, it should be emphasized that the chosen procedure does not meet the constructive and trusting cooperation that has returned to VfB.
