The Swiss Football League is made up of twenty teams. From the YB heavyweight league and Basel with sales of 80. 90 million Swiss francs to the small club SC Kriens with an average salary of 2700 Swiss francs, anything is possible.
And yet each of the 20 votes counts the same, when it comes to achieving a simple extra. And this is necessary when voting on whether the championship will resume on June 19 or be canceled.
Of course, a lot of water will flow down the Rhine, Aare or Reuss until May 29. But opinions are made. From now on it looks like this:
Super league
- Sion, Lugano and Xamax are unconditional for demolition.
- Basel, St. Gallen, Lucerne, FCZ and Thun depend on whether the league can financially insure clubs through the federal government.
- YB and Servette I absolutely want to keep playing.
Challenge League
- Lausanne, GC, Schaffhausen, Stade Lausanne-Ouchy, Aarau, Kriens and Vaduz are in favor, if some say “yes, but …”.
- Winterthur is also more for that, but first he has to find a stadium because the Schützenwiese is being renovated.
- Wil wants to wait and see what the clubs can expect.
- Chiasso submits to the majority, as the last player to be eliminated is no more because he cannot dismount.
The bottom line: No one from the Challenge League is absolutely against the restart. If Wil and Winti also say yes and Chiasso submits to the majority, the upper second division could even close for it.
That would mean: along with the votes in favor of YB and Servette, the matter would be dropped. Calculating how much money they would lose playing ghost games, Super League clubs could be forced to play for the little ones!
Bruno Galliker, Sports Director at Kriens: «I know that the trend in the Super League is quite different. It should never happen that Challenge League clubs outnumber Super League clubs if you know what the financial impact would be for upper house clubs. ” In the lower house, on the other hand, continuing to play would not be a bankruptcy agreement, on the contrary. “At Kriens, television revenue represents 50 percent of the first team’s budget.” Galliker says.
TV rights holders have to pay 40 million Swiss francs per season. 30 million for the Super, 10 for the Challenge League. While about half a million is a whopping amount for a small club like Kriens, an average Super League club has 2 to 2.5 million francs after deducting the league’s administrative costs. This is not half, but perhaps a tenth of the budget.
What to do: Did the Super League vote separately? A procedure that the president of the SFL, Heinrich Schifferle, categorically excludes. Galliker is sure that there are several solutions with which you can achieve your goal. For example, abstention.
And who knows, maybe the increase to 12 teams required by the Roma and the people of Ticino will reappear. And then it would stop immediately anyway.
