Oke Göttlich über Haltung im Fußball, den FC St. Pauli und moderne Vereinsführung

Can you survive in the cutthroat, multi-billion-dollar business of professional football without selling your soul to investors? Oke Göttlich, the visionary president of FC St. Pauli, proves in the podcast "Zwischen den Zeilen" (Between the Lines) in conversation with Bettina Böttinger that economic calculation and a strong social commitment are not mutually exclusive. He speaks candidly about the extremely painful relegation to the second division and why, in his view, sport can never be apolitical. Instead of silently accepting FIFA's absurd alliances, FC St. Pauli consciously stands alongside marginalized groups – despite massive hostility and hate comments. Off the pitch, the former record label founder offers surprisingly personal insights. He reflects on intoxication, his almost complete abstinence from alcohol, and how tragic downfalls within his family shaped him into a strict father. In the end, he delivers a passionate declaration of love for the Millerntor stadium as a unique, magical place of genuine social cohesion.
