Things are simmering at TSV 1860.
Investor Ismaik landed in Munich on Thursday.
Will there be a big showdown with Robert Reisinger?
Munich – 1860 investor Hasan Ismaik landed in Munich on Thursday evening.
This is what the AZ reports.
Ismaik is a rare guest in the Bavarian capital.
The shareholder dispute at TSV 1860 has come to a head in the last week.
There is a need for discussion.
The most recent points of contention: the dismissal of Marc-Nicolai Pfeifer and the appointment of Christian Werner and Oliver Mueller.
On Sunday the Lions await FC Ingolstadt for their home game in the Grünwalder Stadium.
Actually a time to get both shareholders at the table.
On Friday the Jordanian was at Grünwalder Straße 114 and attended the first team's training session.
TSV 1860 fans split into three camps
There is a lot to clarify for the 46-year-old in Munich.
The Blues fan camp is now divided into three halves.
Some supporters support the confrontational course of the eV side, others would like a better and more harmonious cooperation with Ismaik and his employees.
The third part just seems annoyed by the latest developments.
How deep the lions' trenches are was evident last Monday.
Even Robert Reisinger was there when Oliver Mueller was introduced as Pfeifer's successor.
And the president talked himself into a rage and criticized the former ex-finance chief.
He also argued with a reporter and accused him of being the “cause of hatred and division” at TSV 1860 Munich.
Heated verbal battles among the TSV 1860 fans
A heated discussion has been raging on social networks for weeks.
Opposing opinions are reflected on Facebook.
“The only one who is to blame for the division of the fans and the hatred in the club is Robert Reisinger himself!” commented user Marc K. in a post on our Facebook page TSV 1860 News.
Karlheinz M. also sees the lion leader and the eV side as responsible: “The fish always starts to stink at the head!”
What bothered some critics about the press conference for Mueller's presentation was that Reisinger blamed a reporter for the unrest: "Sure, a journalist is responsible for the chaos..." writes Ludwig W. ironically.
A lot of approval for this comment is also followed by a lot of headwind from the “Pro Reisinger” faction.
“Those were clear words and a clear sign,” says Rainer B. Bonanza F. writes on the Facebook page of TSV Munich von 1860 e.
V.: “Wow, I’m proud of our President!”
Some users think Reisinger's clear message is exactly right.
Ralf H. comments on the Facebook page of TSV Munich from 1860 eV: “Clear edge Robert.” The Lions fans who stand behind President Reisinger blame Hasan Ismaik and his followers for the troubled times in Giesing.
"Since he's been at the club, things have gone downhill a lot, he talks everywhere and has zero knowledge of the sport," comments Ro L. on TSV 1860 News.

Reisinger criticism in the main stand - Westkurve regularly works on Hasan Ismaik
The division among fans has now also reached the Grünwalder Stadium.
The active fan scene in the Westkurve has regularly criticized the lender in recent weeks.
Anti-Reisinger messages were recently seen in the main stand.
Many lions are simply frustrated.
“Once a lion, always a lion, but not for long if this continues,” writes Gerold S. on the KGaA Facebook page.
Manuel G. is also annoyed by the power games between the eV and the investors.
“Every A-class club is better managed!”
Whether something changes?
At least the Lions' supporters can hope.
Hasan Ismaik's visit could bring about a small rapprochement despite the verbal poison darts in recent weeks.
Because in the end everyone actually has the same goal: a successful team that should return to the 2nd Bundesliga at some point.
