"I think so," Marc Lüthi says when asked by Blick if he believes that SC Bern will still be able to afford a top team in the future. "We have never been able to afford the most expensive team." Also in the current season, he does not see a reason to panic: "More than ten players have expiring contracts. Others just became dads. Maybe there's a lack of concentration at the moment."
However, there is one thing that worries Lüthi. Something that might concern the whole league in the future: E-Sports. "I wonder if today's kind of sports entertainment remains attractive," Lüthi says with a view to the young people. With E-Sports getting more and more popular, the focus must be, according to Lüthi, to get young people excited about live sports. "These are the real challenges."
