“A hammer blow”, d’Ornano reacts to the demotion

“A hammer blow”. This is enough to put into words the current ills of FC Rouen. This Thursday, the Norman club was administratively downgraded to National 2 by the federal club control commission of the National Management Control Department (DNCG). A decision criticized by Iwan Postel, the new president in place since the beginning of the month and the takeover of the club by Turkish businessman Tarkan Ser. “A massive blow because the DNCG is 50-50 every time, especially in our case. I am disappointed because lwan (Postel) and his teams, in a very short time, have killed quite a few Obviously, it was not satisfactory for the DNCG” regretted Maxime D’Ornano in the columns of Paris-Normandie.

Then the coach of the Red Devils, who will continue whatever happens on the Rouen bench, to continue. “I’m thinking of all the fans of FC Rouen. Everyone believes in it, and there, on a decision, everything falls apart. I admit that it pisses me off” he regretted. After announcing that he would not appeal the decision in an attempt to bend the financial policeman of French football – something which would not have worked – Iwan Postel finally decided to appeal the DNCG’s decision.
