Bernhard Burgener can no longer be re-elected as FCB chairman at the November general meeting, but he remains the majority shareholder.
Bernhard Burgener has had enough: the 63-year-old will no longer appear as president of FC Basel at the general meeting on 9 November. He gave it in an interview on the FCB website., The link opens in a new window known. The “Bebbi” will then elect a new president at the general assembly in November. Additionally, other board members have decided not to run for the association’s board.
This is just a logical step.
In an interview, Burgener explains the considerations behind the decision: “We already emphasized at the last AGM that the structure of the association’s board of directors is not sacrosanct for us. This is just a logical step to propose and elect an independent board after discussions with the members. “

It is not a consequence of public criticism
Public criticism and the “Yystoo for e FCB” movement are said to have had no influence on the decision. So the decision had been ripe for a long time. “We started this process more than a year ago on the occasion of the last General Assembly,” Burgener said.
I have emphasized several times that I will not disappoint the FCB.
Leaving the board of directors is not a harbinger of a retirement from the corporation. “I have emphasized several times that in a situation like this with all the sporting and economic challenges ahead, I certainly will not disappoint the FCB and just give up,” Basler said.
Balance of power unchanged
Burgener therefore remains the majority shareholder of FC Basel 1893 AG. The transfer of the club’s board, probably of symbolic importance, should hardly have an influence on the balance of power in the FCB.
