He is the first responsible for the very probable descent of the Girondins in Ligue 2. Gérard Lopez is today a man in the eye of the storm and it has been blowing very hard around the owner and president of the club in recent weeks. As an Ultras banner summed up last weekend, saving the club a year ago cannot excuse everything.
So today the same people who called him the club’s savior would be ready to see him with tar and feathers. It must be said that Gérard Lopez is doing his part between the resounding sporting failure and his daily management of the Girondins. It gives food for thought to a lot of people. While the atmosphere is very fresh within the club itself, The partners are starting to come out of the woodwork to hold him to account. They wrote a letter and according to our information, it should turn into a petition. A hundred partners would be ready to sign it. Like the Ultras, they ask in particular for the appointment of a deputy president. On the other hand, for the moment, the boss of the Girondins is spared by the institutions whether it is the town hall or the Metropolis.
Behind this agitation, there is the question of the future of Gérard Lopez. Even if the Spanish-Luxembourgish businessman owns the club, he remains at the mercy of his creditors. The two investment funds, Fortress and King Street, can dismiss it because of this relegation. But at the moment T, it would not be the trend. Moreover, for ten days, Gérard Lopez has multiplied meetings with them to complete a business plan for the L2 and therefore keep control. For the moment, we remain optimistic in the entourage of the Bordeaux president on the fact of finding an agreement.
