That’s it!
Hertha investor Lars Windhorst (45) hands out against his own club. In a report by the business magazine “Capital”, the former financial prodigy criticizes the Hertha management – and considers his investments to be a mistake.
Windhorst, head of the Tennor Group, has invested a total of 375 million euros in Hertha since the summer of 2019. He currently holds around two-thirds of the spin-off corporation with which the club participates in Bundesliga operations.
Now Windhorst spoke to “Capital”, criticizing Hertha with a hitherto unaccustomed sharpness: “I have counted on the fact that at Hertha rational and forward-thinking people are in charge, who also want lasting success.” In the past few months, however, he has been It has become clear that some people there are primarily concerned with “maintaining power and cliques”.
And then it really bangs again!
When asked if he saw his engagement at Hertha as a mistake, Windhorst said: “To be honest, from today’s perspective, yes, unfortunately. So far, investing in Hertha has only brought me disadvantages, apart from positive experiences with many members.” And further: “I won’t let anyone burn me 375 million euros there and will therefore never give up.” although it will take much longer than originally planned,” he said.
Despite the Windhorst millions and numerous transfers that resulted from it, the club is not making any progress in sporting terms. The club is currently in the middle of a relegation battle (currently 14th, just one point ahead of the relegation place).
