- The recent forced relegation is seen as more severe than in 2017 due to the absence of positive developments like the stadium move back then.
- The club is on the brink of insolvency after losing its main sponsor, with season tickets for 2026 losing their validity.
- Disputes with main investor Hasan Ismaik, who imposed several conditions on funding, caused negotiations to collapse and deepened the crisis.
- Leadership resignations and a potential change in ownership are needed for recovery, with the Regionalliga season beginning on July 25 and only eight weeks remaining.
There will be a massive withdrawal of fan affection, no matter which league.— Alexander Augustin, a Löwen fan, in the interview about the fan reaction after the renewed forced relegation
