As a player, Marcell Jansen (37) experienced many difficult moments with HSV.
► He was there in 2009 when Hamburg got the lid on from Werder in three competitions (Uefa Cup, DFB Cup, championship) within 19 days.
► In 2010 he appeared in the semi-finals of the Europa League at FC Fulham when HSV lost the final in the Volkspark after a 0-0 first leg with a 2-1 defeat.

► He trembled against Fürth (0:0, 1:1) in 2014 due to the relegation when Hamburg were knocked out in the second leg, but fortunately the second division team did not get the ball in the goal.
Nevertheless, Jansen faces his toughest day at HSV on Saturday: liberation or knockout?
From 11 a.m. the general meeting will take place in Hall 1 of the CCH. Around 1000 HSVer are expected. The focus is on item 19 on the agenda: “Repeal of club president Marcell Jansen”.
Two members – independently of one another – submitted the application: Attorney Till Hischemöller and Ulrich Becker.
Bavaria with Neuer AND Sommer “Can this go well? I do not think so!”
This could be a tight box. Jansen himself should have known this since the beginning of January at the latest. The ex-professional had a conversation with the department head of the powerful “Supporters” (80,000 members). She made it clear to him that he could not rely on her when it came to the motions to vote out.
In the run-up to the meeting, the department management did not submit any election recommendations for its members. But basically, many supporters are critical of Jansen.
If the ex-professional is overthrown at the meeting, it is likely that the department would develop its own ideas when filling the presidency.
Whether Jansen breaks the 50 percent bar or skips it is difficult to predict. Lots of factors come into play.
► That ex-board member Dr. Thomas Wüstefeld (54), a Jansen buddy at HSV, who was exonerated by the public prosecutor just this week, should help the ex-professional. All investigations into “infidelity,” “fraud,” and “abuse of titles, job titles, and badges” have been dropped.
► Possibly after the contract signatures of the board members Jonas Boldt (41) and Dr. Eric Huwer (39) and trainer Tim Walter (47) the members also in the Jansen case on continuity. Even if a lasting peace between the warring parties is unrealistic.
► Many others are simply dissatisfied with the management and do not trust him to do the job better in the future.
► The session history could also be important. The voting-off motions are placed at the very end of the current agenda. When many HSVers may have already left the meeting.

There is a lot of discussion going on behind the scenes to vote on moving the point forward. For example, following the reports of the Executive Committee and the Supervisory Board. Then the members would still be “fresh” and there in large numbers. A simple majority would suffice to change the agenda.
Liberation or HSV knockout for Jansen – in any case, a clear vote would help the club. No matter in which direction…
