Overview
- The club’s Ehrenrat ruled that a supervisory-board member showed “vereinsschädigendes Verhalten” through Instagram comments under posts by Irvine’s wife, Jemilla Pir.
- The official was not named in the club statement and the fine amount was withheld, though German outlets report the member is René Born.
- Sanctions were issued under §29 para. 1 a) and f) of the club statute, with funds designated for awareness training in youth departments.
- Irvine told ABC the messages were “deeply hurtful,” and the comments included lines such as “Niemand ist größer als der Klub.”
- No public apology from the sanctioned official has been reported, with further discussion possible at the Nov. 15 membership meeting.
