Tönnies had recently offered to help the financially ailing club.
The condition should have been that the board of directors and the supervisory board vote in favor.
According to "Ruhr Nachrichten", however, two members of the supervisory board were against it.

In 2019 he caused a stir with statements criticized as racist about Africans.
