The former full-back of Bastia or LOSC, Julian
Palmierispoke on the decision of the DNCG to grant a reprieve to the Girondins de Bordeaux, unlike Ajaccio for whom relegation to the National was decreed.
“Oh the DNCG, stop taking people for idiots! Ajaccio found (the funds). Lopez found… wind and promise. They gave him this season supposedly to rebuild and there it continues. The Girondins are a real football club, they should not be managed by this guy […] Everywhere he went, he failed in every sport he did. He says, and you swallow it… He put so much money that you still have a hole of several tens of millions of euros”.
I have to say that Julian Palmieri knew Gérard Lopez well when he was at LOSC, since he was its President. Moreover, he was part of the famous loft, composed on the day of the recovery. Indeed, the new coach, Marcelo Bielsadid not want a dozen players in his squad: Vincent Enyeama, Marvin Martin, Marko Basa, Rio Mavuba, Eric Bauthéac or even Julian Palmieri. The latter had commented: “We are completely apart, we go through a back door. We’re not in the same parking spaces, we’re not in the same locker room, our numbers aren’t on the belongings. The manager sent us an SMS the day before normal resumption to explain to us that we were resuming on July 3. Marcelo Bielsa came this morning to talk to us for fifteen seconds, he came to shake our hands, he told us that if we had the slightest need or the slightest concern, we could come and talk to him or to the now new arm right of Luis Campos, Franck Béria, who managed this story.
