Oedt’s 2-0 win against ASK St. Valentin faded completely into the background yesterday, Sunday. The number one topic of conversation was the exclusive report that OÖN had already published on nachrichten.at on Saturday: After three years, coach Davorin Kablar has to leave the club in the summer. “Mr. Kablar has done an excellent job in recent years. But recently the team slipped away from him,” says club boss Franz Grad – meaning an increasing number of indisciplines in the past few weeks. In addition to the coach, the ripcord was also pulled on a player who has always made the difference in recent seasons: Manuel Schmidl was suspended, he was no longer in action at yesterday’s home game. “There will be more,” announced Grad, who also took credit for the performance in the lost state cup final against St. Martin/M. (2:3) did not like: “We play a good half and are no longer available in the second half because everyone is complaining. We will now counteract this lack of discipline.” The Upper Austrian league title is no longer an issue. “That’s no longer possible with the deficit to Weißkirchen. Besides, I’m not interested in this title.” As a champion, Oedt would either have to rise or be relegated to the state league – and thus take the place of their own Ib team, which has just been promoted from the district league.
St. Martin also waives
Weißkirchen and the third St. Martin would love to win the title – but the duo has no interest in promotion either. “We recently made the decision in a board meeting not to want to be promoted,” says St. Martin’s sports director Christoph Rudelstorfer. For both clubs, it would be the first waiver of promotion – which is why there would be no threat of forced relegation this year. This makes ASK St. Valentin the only club in the top twelve in the Upper Austrian league that still has a (slight) chance of voluntary promotion.
