Schalke 04 Leadership Faces Intense Criticism at Marathon Meeting

Members of FC Schalke 04 express deep frustration over club management during a seven-hour assembly.

The Schalke 04 membership meeting lasted over seven hours, serving as a platform for members to voice their dissatisfaction with the club's leadership.
Chairman Axel Hefer and CEO Matthias Tillmann admitted to past mistakes but asked for patience from the members.
The club is struggling in its second consecutive year fighting relegation in the second division, with significant financial liabilities adding to the pressure.
Members called for the resignation of key figures, highlighting incompetence in football management, marketing, and staff leadership.
Despite the criticism, Hefer and Tillmann remain in their positions, though a new member, Ender Ulpinar, was elected to the supervisory board, replacing Moritz Dörnemann.
