The Pro League is in an existential crisis. Due to the many lawsuits and criticism of conflicts of interest, a reorganization is urgent, but Peter Croonen’s chairmanship was confirmed in the meantime. That makes the eyebrows frown here and there.
The Sunday is already hard as nails for the current state of affairs. “Belgian football is increasingly tending to mess up a lot,” the newspaper writes. ‘How could the Pro League gain some clout? Too many guys with double caps on today are causing implausibility. For example, Mehdi Bayat is linked to the Pro League as chairman of the board and director of Charleroi, chairman Peter Croonen is also president of KRC Genk. “
“He came up for discussion this week, but survived the Board of Directors with his fingers in the nose. Again a lot of barking, but no biting, “said The Sunday. Those many double roles create suspicion and a dire lack of objectivity. Moreover, the greed of the big clubs makes the operation of the Pro League virtually unlivable. At the same time, however, there is very little change at all at the Belgian level. And our football is economically lagging further behind the rest of Europe. “
