And three! The Girondins de Bordeaux are back this Tuesday in front of the DNCG for the third time this summer. But this time, the Marine et Blanc will not play their future in front of the financial policeman of French football. Since last week, they are sure to play this season in Ligue 2 thanks to their reinstatement by the FFF. They are again heard by the authority quite simply because it is the rule! When a club is rejected twice by the DNCG before finally being saved in extremis by the Federation, it must go back to the first box.
The DNCG can indeed decide whether or not to impose certain restrictive measures: a supervision of the wage bill, the fact of having to sell before buying or outright a ban on recruiting. Gérard Lopez, owner and president of the Girondins:
“We hope they will let us work quietly since we still have a file that now holds up strongly. If this is the case (no measure), the worries will be behind us.”
Recruits in the “starting-blocks”
Today, the most likely scenario is to be inflicted with a wage bill framework like last season. A measure that would really not help the management of the Girondins to make its transfer window. If, for example, it was framed at 11 million euros (it is still 17 million euros today), it will then be necessary to sell a lot of players to be in the nails at the end of the transfer window. According to our information, the club should also present a budget between 50 and 55 million euros. It would be the biggest in Ligue 2 by far.
On the other hand, if no action is taken, the transfer window of the Marine et Blanc will very quickly accelerate according to Gérard Lopez: “There are players waiting, who are in the starting blocks. We just need the green light to be able to work.” This would also allow the club initially to request the approval of the contracts of Yoann Barbet and Vital Nsimba, the first two unofficial recruits of the Girondins and who could not play the first league match against Valenciennes. The objective is of course to arrive in Rodez on Saturday (7 p.m.) with a reinforced team.
