On Tuesday, Wil will meet Aarau in Brügglifeld – will Wil President Maurice Weber get together in the stands this time?
Last Friday it emerged that he had raced a racist derailment at Xamax in May. Weber referred to black Neuchâtel players as N…. – According to «nau.ch», Wils sports director Jan Breitenmoser was sitting right next to him.
After the racism scandal was exposed, Weber partially took the consequences, he resigned from the committee of the Swiss Football League on Saturday. That after the league’s disciplinary committee had opened a case against Weber the day before.
Does this procedure now become obsolete with the resignation? No! The “Weber case” will continue to be followed up as normal until the investigations have been completed.
Possible ban on officials
That means: Weber, who remains in office at FC Wil, still faces consequences. Which one is open. A fine is conceivable. Or is the league even pulling the Wil boss out of circulation? Because from a certain severity of offenses a so-called functionary ban is possible.
It is clear that Wil wanted to keep the incident under cover is not exactly a mitigating circumstance. “The SFL received knowledge of Weber’s behavior from the media,” wrote the league.
The Eastern Swiss justify the months of silence by saying that the insult was only heard by FC Wil representatives. Club spokesman Dani Wyler: “As in any good company, internals are discussed and regulated internally.”
