Frankfurt president Peter Fischer has made incredibly inflammatory comments ahead of Thursday’s Europa League semi-final.
These have clearly come about as a result of the Hammers ensuring that no visiting fans to Thursday night’s game will get into our home end,
He spoke in a German TV interview which was translated to English by a German West Ham fan and were then read by Moore Than Just A Podcast presenter Nigel Kahn from a transcript sent to him.
The podcast can be heard in full below but Kahn said Fisher claimed in a TV interview that his club had some very bad experiences with English football which had involved Chelsea.
Many, he said, had been kicked out of Stamford Bridge. They had included VIP’s and some in corporate hospitality who were not in the official away end of the ground.
This – he whined on – is an example of English football which claims to invented fair play and we should be ashamed of it.
He said that throwing Frankfurt fans from grounds will only motivate them further adding ridiculously that English football fans wanted BREXIT in which case they should also get out of the Europa League and play their matches somewhere near Alaska.
When questioned about potential fan clashes in Seville’ Fischer added “We know how hard English fans and hooligans are but our boys stand firm and don’t run away.
It won’t be like Barcelona but there will be enough of our fans there who will try to turn West Ham’s stadium into a Frankfurt home game”
Sounds to me that this dick head is trying to stir up trouble that isn’t there yet.Obviously being a Frankfurt fan he doesn’t understand the common sense in keeping fans separated and if their fans are buying tickets in the West Ham end then more fool them.
Madness…he;s the one who should be ashamed
he should be charged by bringing the game into disrepute with the inflammatory comments he has made. he may be hiding what he means but we are not so stupid in what he really is saying.
just hopeful we beat them by a real decent amount and get his team out of the competition but i defo think his words need to be looked at by those that can do something about it
This is inflamatory language that could quite possibly incite their supporters to violent actions. Surelu EUFA has to take some action here. His comments, although extremely puerile, is dangerous and provocative. What a tool.
It seems to me that this idiot wants it all to “kick off” and if it does,he will no doubt point the finger and shout its the English disease,ban the English again.EUFA should warn him about his comments
