Selim Gündüz from Halleschen FC unpacks through the KFC Uerdingen and leaves no good hair on his ex-club.
Krefeld – Don’t mind dirty laundry! The former player of the KFC Uerdingen, Selim Gündüz (26), now plays for third division opponents Hallescher FC. He has more than clear words ready for his ex-club.

For the former Bundesliga club from Krefeld, things are going to be sticky these days. Although, actually already these months – and in general. The club has been developing in the wrong direction in some areas for a number of years.
The KFC is now threatened with attachment of the account (TAG24 reported). Almost a dozen former players are still waiting for parts of their salaries. Employees should also be affected. One lawsuit follows the next.
Now someone speaks up who experienced the club first hand for a year: Selim Gündüz (26) from HFC.
The German-Turk played in twelve competitive games for the KFC last season. A time that he would so much like to delete.
In the end, a rather mediocre sporting year was overshadowed by background noise. And then culminated in the fact that he had to go to the labor court in Krefeld to fight for outstanding salary payments.

The court agreed with Gündüz, but the KFC still doesn’t pay.
“I won at the Krefeld Labor Court. The payment should and has not been made. It may well be that the accounts of the KFC will soon be attached,” said the offensive actor in the Reviersport.
He has no understanding of the behavior of his ex-club and makes a sweeping blow: “In Germany law and order apply, laws and judicial decisions count. The KFC is apparently trying to ignore them.”
Harsh words from the 26 year old. But they are probably more than justified.
What the Krefelders seem to practice completely shamelessly makes many in the industry sit up and take notice. For Gündüz a state of affairs that is unacceptable.
He sympathizes with his ex-colleagues and unpacks interesting details about the salary payments that are still outstanding: “I just feel sorry for the KFC players. I spoke to some guys after our game on Tuesday and they told me they were sometimes waiting for their salaries for two months. “
An absurdity for Gündüz. “I wonder how you can run a club like this if you haven’t been able to make your payments on time and regularly for years?” And further: “How often has the KFC been in the press because of a lack of salary payments, how often have players, coaches, employees sued the club in the labor court?”
The former youth player of VfL Bochum does not leave the people involved in Uerdingen good. Apparently too great his anger at the business practices of the people involved.

The dismissal of the then coach Heiko Vogel was also the beginning of the end for him. In the, as he says, “damn unhappy time” afterwards, it quickly became clear to him: He had to leave Uerdingen.
He was “simply left lying on the left” after the bird was eliminated, according to the Neu-Halle native.
The disrespectful treatment towards him ultimately meant “the worst time of my life. Mentally and psychologically.” Gündüz even sought psychological help, as he now admits.
“Nowhere before” has he experienced so little humanity as at the KFC. “The players are treated like a piece of shit.”
Rumms!
For pretty much all professionals in the world, he has one piece of advice: “I wouldn’t advise anyone to switch to KFC Uerdingen – for no money in the world.”
Money that he and many others have to fight for in court …
