When white smoke rises in the Vatican, then the matter is clear: “Habemus Papam”. We have a new pope.
At the company headquarters of FCB boss Bernhard Burgener in Pratteln BL, people have looked wistfully over the last few days and weeks to see if there is finally white smoke to be seen. Burgener and Degen met there for several hours of discussion. To settle this sometimes hateful and bitter struggle for power and the majority in the club amicably.
And the parties have come so close together that an amicable agreement has been reached. According to information from Blick, the process on Tuesday in the premises of Messe Basel should become obsolete. Or at least be pushed backwards. So that you gain time to contractually record the new power structure and the management strategy.
Is Burgener withdrawing?
Little is currently known about what the proposed solution will look like in practice. It is impossible for Degen to give in and sell his ten percent of the shares back to Burgener at a high price. On the contrary: the variant that Bernhard Burgener is withdrawing as the majority shareholder is much more in the foreground.
Under the leadership of David Degen, the FCB’s shareholders will then be repositioned and expanded. In any case, the next hours and days will be exciting.
