A portion of readers (9 percent) blames the HSV leadership for the sporting crisis. Poor personnel decisions, incompetence in squad planning, and mismanagement are lamented. The long-suffering fans are contrasted with the strategic errors of the club's management.
"This game is a glimpse of the HSV management's complete incompetence. They already achieved nothing in the second division, and now they weren't able to assemble a decent team for the first division. And that starts with their nice Mr. Kunz, whom they preferred to the professional Magath. They didn't want Magath because he's too inconvenient and would have thrown their whole team into disarray. If the fans weren't so patient and unconditionally behind the club, they would have gone bankrupt long ago. What HSV has to offer in terms of personnel is just second division, and they can't agree with Selke, the man responsible for the promotion, so they let him go. The entire HSV board should be fired." Read the original comment.
