Helsingborgs IF played 0-0 against Falkenbergs FF in the Allsvenskan on Sunday. With that result, Kalmar FF did not win against AIK on Monday, so HIF would have some chance of remaining in the series. For a long time the match in Solna seemed to end goalless, but in the final stage Erik Israelsson decided the match when he reached the top of a corner.
1-0 for Kalmar FF, which meant relegation for the Scanians.
Immediately after the final signal in Solna, HIF posted a membership letter on its website.
– As I told the media, I have informed the Appointments Committee that I will resign as Chairman of the Board in the event of demotion. The other boards have also informed the nominating committee that they are setting up their seats. We are deeply disappointed and of course we take our responsibility. Until the members elect a new president, I will lead the work of the board and will do so with as much spark and will as before, says president Krister Azelius in a comment on the club’s website.
When Football Channel comes to Azelius, he develops his feelings.
– Huge disappointment, of course. Although we have approached this disaster or sports debacle, it is clear that when I watch the game, I have hope. Right now it’s just a huge disappointment, and I’m not disappointed in AIK or anything. But I am disappointed that we are leaving and that our performance has been poor. Analyzes and so on can be done later and by better people than me, and probably other people as well.
Sports disaster, can you speak in the same terms financially?
– I can say that the management of the economy and the preparations for it have gradually intensified at the rate of points fall. It is the ett fundamental sports failure. A downhill is manageable under normal circumstances in sporting terms. But a degradation in combination with crown it is hard then, it is very hard. I will not express myself in terms of survival even if such things can, for us and for others, end in the magnifying glass. It is clear that it also affects the possibilities and the way to return to the fine room. This is how it is. But the decline as such is a sporting disaster, financially bad and perhaps in terms of a pandemic also an economic disaster. But right now I’m thinking in sports terms. It feels like it could have solved everything else, although it is not certain that it could have. I think of our fans, our partners and ourselves. Right now I see nothing but darkness.
Additionally, HIF writes the following on its website:
“We are very humbled by the challenge that awaits the association, but we are also determined to get HIF back to where it belongs as soon as possible: the Allsvenskan. That work has already begun.
We want to assure you that HIF today, unlike when the club left the Allsvenskan 2016, has a good control of its finances and has worked for a long time with scenarios where the games at the Superettan were one, although naturally we hoped that was not the case. . . Everyone in the association is humbled by the task and the challenge that awaits them, but they are prepared to take it on and work very hard so that the Allsvenskan matches are played again soon at Olympia. “
