Stuttgart (AP) - Rainer Adrion, member of the supervisory board of the Bundesliga soccer club VfB Stuttgart, has called on the club's management to work together.

With a view to the renewed suspicion of manipulation, which was raised in connection with the 2017 general meeting to outsource the professional department, Adrion (67) told the “Stuttgarter Zeitung and the Stuttgarter Nachrichten” (Monday editions): “The matter was fully investigated almost three and a half years ago and informed, of course by external experts too. "

It is outrageous "to what extent many employees are accused of criminal activity".

VfB published a detailed clarification on the subject on its club channels, which had been reappeared in a “Spiegel” report.

Nevertheless, there is a threat of further unrest as highly controversial decisions will be made in the next few days.

It is still unclear whether the general meeting will take place on March 18th as planned.

The question of whether the incumbent Claus Vogt will be admitted to the presidential election is also unanswered.

"It is time to look to the future, to look for solutions and to present them quickly," demanded Adrion, who previously coached the German U21 national team.
