The powder keg had been simmering for several months. And has now exploded spectacularly! Burgenland's soccer must digest the next shock: Siegendorf stopped playing! Peter Krenmayr's departure was the beginning of the end. Now the ex-president is talking about negligence and is really lashing out.

It is a drama in several acts. First, Peter Krenmayr stepped down as long-term president and supposed financial driving force in September. A short time later, a mountain of debt in the high five-figure range adorned the backdrop. "Within a few months of my absence, a weak board had driven the club to the wall," he said in an interview with the "Krone" newspaper, not mincing his words.
