Klagenfurt in front of: TGI demands 700,000 euros back!

Klagenfurt, Österreich - The situation around Austria Klagenfurt is becoming increasingly precarious. TGI AG, the main sponsor of the association, calls for 700,000 euros in immediate aid after relegation, which also contains the club's financial situation. Helmut Kaltenegger, the founder of TGI, is considered to take over Austria Klagenfurt. This was confirmed by Kaltenegger compared to the Kleine Zeitung . Siegfried Gschossmann, who has been working in the club's board work for years, refers to the urgency of the current decision and mentions the week as crucial for the future of the association.

A central point in the negotiations is TGI's contractual status, which only applies to the Admiral Bundesliga, but not for the 2nd league. Kaltenegger is planning further discussions with the current club boss Zeljko Karajica to check the financial figures of the association before making a definitive decision on the takeover.

Financial difficulties and salary outlets

The financial difficulties of Austria Klagenfurt are considerable. Ex-players and service providers are waiting for outstanding payments, and there are reports of debts at low millions. CAI salaries and vacation money of the players in particular have not yet paid out, which contributes to unrest within the team. Kaltenegger has announced that the balance sheets are examined and sees the transfer decision as strongly dependent on the current финансовe situation of the association.

The problems of the association are not only financial in nature, but also structural, regarding the integration of external sponsors and investors. Sponsors play a central role in Austrian football by not only offering financial support, but also contributing to the regional development of sport. For example, the Wolfsberger AC (WAC) in partnership with RZ Pellets generated a stable flow of income that supports the sporting performance of the association. This type of support is crucial for many smaller clubs because they often have difficulty finding constant sources of income.

The Admiral company group has established itself as a big player in Austrian professional football and offers extensive sponsorships that have enabled clubs to have record sales in recent years. Nevertheless, the challenge for Klagenfurt remains to cope with the financial claims from TGI, but also to find a way in order to continue to be able to compete.
