• The vote reverses last year’s refusal to discharge the board after a transfer ban and Bundesliga relegation heightened tensions.
• The assembly convened for the first time at the Müngersdorfer Stadion with roughly 6,000 attendees and frequently heated exchanges.
• Member council chair Fabian Schwab criticized cooperation with the outgoing board as difficult, sluggish and largely not constructive.
