The president of Le Havre, Jean-Michel Roussier, returned to the worrying situation of the club the day after the DNCG decision.
After the announcement of the management of the payroll by the DNCG, the president of Le Havre, Jean-Michel Roussier, described this decision as ” logic “ In The Team and warned of the worrying financial situation of the Normandy club.
“Our budget will not be revised downwards because of that (the DNCG decision, editor’s note). This will be the case in relation to the disaster that is coming in terms of TV rights (because there is still no agreement with a broadcaster, editor’s note). What should we expect? For Le Havre, it’s the double cool kiss effect. (…) It’s 50% of the clubs’ budget. We know that we will never have amounts equivalent to those of last year. You would have to be an idiot to think otherwise. So you really imagine that I could keep the payroll at the same level as last year? In the best of all worlds, our revenues will drop by 25 to 30%. And again I am optimistic in saying that. I didn’t need the DNCG to lower the payroll”judges the boss of the HAC.
Will Le Havre be able to recruit this summer? “There will only be transfers if there are sales anyway. If there are no departures, there will be none. And as foreign clubs see the current problem with our TV rights, they are revising their offers downwards. It complicates everything.”
