The Girondins de Bordeaux failed to win against Lorient this Saturday, May 14. Relegation is therefore not yet official but it is already in everyone’s mind, in particular that of Alain Anziani, the president of Bordeaux Métropole. A descent into Ligue 2 football would be a sporting disappointment but it would also have a economic cost for the Metropolis.
However Alain Anziani wants to be reassuring and hopes that relegation would be the opportunity to put everything back in the club and start on a good footing. He also hopes that the club will rise quickly for more economic than sporting reasons. Because for another year the club owes a significant rent to the Metropolis for the Matmut Atlantique stadium, 15 million (spread over three years), but after what about stadium funding.
