😅 HSV enjoy Werder chaos, fans mock anti-Fritz petition | OneFootball

The atmosphere around the Weserstadion is currently at least tense. The team is truly not doing well in the league – and this has now had tangible consequences. After all, Bremen recently parted ways with their coach Horst Steffen.

But if the Werder fans have their way, that is far from enough. Criticism of managing director Clemens Fritz has also grown louder in recent weeks.

The fact that Deadline Day did not bring any new signings further underscores, in the eyes of critics, the unfortunate and ongoing personnel decisions made by Fritz. For this reason, an SVW member started a petition to initiate a general assembly, at which Fritz’s work is to be critically questioned.

At least 6,500 of the required 7,000 signatures have already been collected, and talks about organizing an assembly are reportedly already underway.

True to the motto "One person's joy is another's sorrow," HSV supporters have now started a counter-petition titled “Clemens Fritz must stay” – naturally with a good dose of tongue-in-cheek humor.

As 'sport.de' reports, the description reads: "Clemens Fritz is the best thing that could have happened to the glorious SV Werder Bremen! He must stay forever!"

The fact that only 40 of the required 30,000 signatures have been collected so far is unlikely to bother the initiators much.
