Werder Bremen press financial bottlenecks. One solution would be to look for an investor. Supervisory Board Florian Weiß has now spoken about such plans.
It is well known that Werder Bremen has not been swimming in money since the corona pandemic. The Hanseatic League have a huge mountain of debt ahead of them, which they will have to reduce over the next few years through transfer surpluses and sporting successes.
Or is an investor coming?
Again and again it was said in the Werder environment that one had to look for such a partner. It was only in September last year that the supervisory board Harm Ohlmeyer reported that a “game plan 2025” would be drawn up, in which the topic of strategic partners would also have a place.
Now, in mid-June, Supervisory Board Florian Weiß announced Bild Werder’s “secret boss”, after the topic. He told the tabloid: “Corona, the descent – the conditions have not been easy in the last two years. A strategic partner would be about selling shares for money.” Statements that could cause explosives in fan circles. In the past, banners that spoke out against an investor or partner could be seen in the east curve.
That’s why he also says: “The strategic partner must therefore be a good match for Werder and stay with us in the long term. That’s why we don’t want a purely return-oriented investor.”
It remains exciting. Fact is: Loud Deichstubereport from the autumn, it was necessary to plug a hole of 75 million euros. A lot of money that can probably not only be generated by player transfers – and Werder slows down when it comes to transfers. “We know when payments are coming our way. The situation can therefore be calculated and planned. Of course, it is clear that the liabilities limit our options,” says Weiß.
