Throughout the morning, the leaders tried to reassure the hundred supporters worried about the turn of events. “ We assure you that we have ten chances out of ten of playing in the Ligue 2 championship next year », exclaims Jean-Noël Fattacioli, in charge of the club’s finances, alongside Daniele Bufano, the president of the ACA. Both returned to the difficulties encountered. Difficulties ” not insurmountable » according to them.
For both men, the worries are in the rearview mirror… and the debt is reduced compared to past seasons. Relieved and confident, the white and red representatives announce that economic measures will be implemented, only in the operation of the club, namely training and on travel abroad. Sports investment would therefore not be impacted.

Guarantees to be provided
Nevertheless, the financial policeman of French football is asking AC Ajaccio to provide guarantees, of the order of 3 million euros, according to our information. The explanations provided so far have not convinced the supporters present. They are asking for more sustained communication from the club. Particularly on the amount received during sales. To which, Jean-Noel Fattacioli, responds that the budget is not established by sales, unlike certain French professional clubs.
Other topics, still around capital, were discussed. The question of a new investor was put on the table. Alain Orsoni, historical president, should sell part of his shares. Discussions are said to be underway, for the time being, without white smoke.
The club should know its situation during the first half of July. As a reminder, the start of the championship is scheduled for August 17 against Rodez in Timizzolu.
