ZURICH - The president of fallen Swiss giants Grasshopper Zurich wants tougher sentences for football hooligans and has said he was"blackmailed" by the club's own fans on Sunday.
If the result is confirmed by the Swiss Football League disciplinary commission, the 27-times Swiss champions will be relegated, ending an unbroken 68 years in the top flight. The fans demanded the players hand over their shirts as they were"not worthy" of wearing them - a demand to which the club agreed."I went against my heart and agreed to giving up the shirts. It was the best thing to do in this situation otherwise we could have had hooligans in the dressing-room."
