In two weeks, the club is expected in front of the DNCG. On June 14, he will simply play his short-term future before the authorities of French football. Will the Girondins be able to financially return to Ligue 2? Gérard Lopez continues to discuss with his creditors the American investment funds Fortress and King Street but has still not reached an agreement with them at this stage. The president and owner of Marine et Blanc asks them in particular for a partial and temporary waiver of the debt which amounts to 50 million euros.
To complete its business plan for Ligue 2, the club will have to sell for 20 million euros this summer and Gérard Lopez could put back on the table up to 15 million euros from his pocket. Management is currently working on a budget of 40 million euros. It would be three times less than that of this season.
As for the terrain, we will have to be patient. Everything is somewhat on standby. The priority is the choice of the future coach. It shouldn’t be Jean-Marc Furlan. The one who has just brought Auxerre up in Ligue 1 has left to continue his adventure in Yonne. In terms of the workforce, the club is looking for a few experienced players. The Girondins, for example, would like to bring Yoann Barbet back. Trained at the club, the defender is having a very good career across the Channel and he is free of any contract. On the start side, we learned of the final transfer of defender Raoul Bellanova to Cagliari in Italy. The Marines and Whites recover a small check for one million euros which will do no harm to the club’s finances.
