As the team bus of the 1. FC Nuremberg around 6.45 p.m. left the stadium area in Kiel, some club fans were still on the roadside. Their disappointment after the 1-1 draw at KSV Holstein could be seen and heard, after all the once glorious 1. FC Nürnberg now has to relegate against the third or fourth of the third division on July 7th and 11th. That depends on where FC Bayern II, who is not entitled to promotion, lands on the last match day – which will only be played on July 4, three days before the first leg in Nuremberg.
Naive, eager and impetuous in Kiel: the FCN in individual criticism
Two sixes, four fours, five fives: The marks that NZ editor Stefan Jablonka gives the club professionals for the 1-1 draw in Kiel are not enough for a transfer at school. The FCN has to be detained – hopefully there will be better grades than this time for Mathenia, Hack, Behrens and Co.

Whether Jens Keller will still be a club coach there has been at least questionable since Sunday afternoon. Also on the Baltic Sea, the Bundesliga relegation team fell into old behavior patterns after the early 1-0 win through Patrick Erras (3rd). The team just doesn’t know much to do with a head start; With the final draw, the FCN lost a whopping 25 points after the tours in the second division season that started last Sunday afternoon.
Too much, much too much for the sports director, who had seemed extremely tense on the main grandstand during the 90 minutes like everyone else from the Nuremberg delegation, no wonder. “It’s annoying, yes,” said Robert Palikuca, the 1: 1 from Kiel “is a reflection of the season. That you always have good phases, take the lead and forget to add the second goal.”
Palikuca also no longer wanted to explicitly stand in front of his coach; if it were that easy, they would have “eliminated the deficits months ago,” said Palikuca of the fairly regular breakdowns on the pitch. But it is obviously not that simple. “To stop this, we simply lack continuity over 90 minutes.” Which even Keller, since November in office, could not teach them.
Draw is not enough: The FCN’s Kiel disaster in pictures!
1. FC Nürnberg has to be relegated! The guest performance on the fjord started so well. Once again, however, the FCN shows no nerves – and at the same time is also unlucky that Fürth loses in the parallel game against Karlsruhe. Missed the rescue! Here are the pictures!

“Spirit of optimism” after the turn
Nevertheless, no resignation was felt in the cabin, but “again a spirit of optimism”; they would have been preparing “for weeks” for the possible relegation opponents, two game days before the end probably FC Ingolstadt, Eintracht Braunschweig or the Würzburg Kickers. In order to mobilize even the last forces, those responsible wanted and want to talk intensively on Sunday and especially on Monday. There is no question that the talks should also be about the trainer.
Grethlein has time for many phone calls
The disappointment is still great, after that “we will discuss how we will deal with the team,” said Palikuca. And with the trainer. Above all, the chairman of the supervisory board wanted to react prudently and make many phone calls, which Thomas Grethlein had plenty of time for on the long drive home. Especially since he had to drive home via Berlin due to various closures in the greater Hamburg area.
However, Grethlein should arrive in Nuremberg by Monday afternoon at the latest – if he has to moderate a special meeting of the Supervisory Board that is scheduled at short notice.
+++ No class relegation in Kiel: the club ticker to suffer +++
The FCN does not help itself! Hanging heads when drawing too few
He had it in his own hand, he also started relatively well and headed towards the relegation class on the Kiel Fjord. At the latest when referee Sven Jablonski put the pipe in his mouth and ended Nuremberg’s next relegation final, the mood at the club had reached another low point. The FCN crashes to relegation rank on the last matchday. Here come the faces of the bad mood club!
