“It’s a whole territory, residents, elected officials who wanted the club not to be relegated” explains Pierre Hurmic to France Bleu Gironde while the executive committee of the French Football Federation has decided to keep the Girondins de Bordeaux in Ligue 2.
“I think that many of us have made our contribution explains the mayor, we have agreed to defer a rental debt which is quite substantial since it is around 10 million euros. The president of the Métropole Alain Anziani and I have also contacted the Minister of Sports, all that to increase the pressure “
I don’t want us to be so scared at the end of each year
The mayor of Bordeaux believes that the model needs improvement. “We were very scared and I don’t want that at the end of each year, we are also scared.”
The Comex spares the Bordeaux club an administrative demotion to National 1 but it demands “strict” control measures during the 2022-2023 season. Pierre Hurmic is considering several avenues: “Perhaps more openness to local economic players, more openness to our training center. It is still very important that the club anchor itself more in this territory which has supported it so much.” The green elected representative ensures that “It will bring some changes to the way the club is governed.”
