André Schubert: André Schubert was a successful coach in Paderborn. In 2011 his budget was due to be cut by more than ten percent. Schubert no longer saw a path to success and moved to FC St.
Pauli. President Finke was angered by the departure and from then on repeatedly explained to the football world what he thought were Schubert’s character flaws. When Schubert was later dismissed in Hamburg, Finke produced a particularly poisonous compliment, calling him a good coach professionally but one who had problems with thin skin and taking criticism.
Unprompted, Finke speculated that Schubert had probably made the same mistakes at St. Pauli as he had in Paderborn.
