Hasan Ismaik didn’t come to Munich after all; the investor of the third division football club TSV 1860 canceled his visit to a fan meeting on Wednesday evening in the Sendlinger Tor film theater at short notice. At the event hosted by the investor-friendly fan blog dieblaue24.de, well-disposed people would have expected him in the cinema, while angry people would have expected him in front of the cinema on Sendlinger-Tor-Platz.
Opponents of the investor had arranged a protest rally under the motto “Stand up for a self-determined sixty”. “The call goes right through the lion landscape and is supported by many groups,” announced co-organizer Benedikt Niedergünzl. “Whether there is an active fan scene, many fan clubs or unorganized groups – it is important for everyone to show the lender with great unity how little support he has at sixty.”
After Ismaik had canceled, the question was whether the demonstrators would still appear. They quickly answered them by changing their motto from “Hasan is coming – we too” to “Hasan isn’t coming – we’re coming anyway”. After all, there were still some people in the cinema who didn’t suit them, such as the investor-friendly organizer himself or Ismaik’s Munich representative, the 1860 supervisory board chairman Saki Stimoniaris. About 300 demonstrators appeared and chanted “Fuck the sheikh” and “We are the club – without Hasan”.
With a number of 1860 greats from the past, such as the 1966 champions Petar Radenkovic and Fredi Heiss, the former goalkeeper Michael Hofmann and the successful coach Werner Lorant, the question “Where are you going, sixty?” was asked in the cinema. discussed.
Niedergünzl suspected in the magazine 11friends: “Former players, who couldn’t be further away from the club and its structures, talk about the glorious old days and whine about the current situation.” The Ismaik side will, “as has often happened in the past, blame others for the current situation and promise a glorious future, “if they just let him do it.”
