From a legal point of view, the EHC Basel Sharks need to present a solution - if there is one - until July 7 or request an extension by then. EHC Basel Sharks manager Pascal Suter spreads signs of hope: "Yes, it's true. We are in talks with potential investors. We are working at high pressure on a solution," he says to Watson.ch.

Also the players are hopeful and won't leave the club until the lights are out for good. That the EHC Basel Sharks will be rescued is not impossible thanks to their intact organization and rather low costs for a takeover.
