The National Directorate of Management Control did not send the Girondins de Bordeaux to the National, but made an appointment on July 9 with the leaders of the club at the scapular before making a final decision.
Bordeaux supporters held their breath last week while waiting for the DNCG’s response regarding their club. Ultimately, the financial policeman of football did not pronounce a provisional relegation, but decided on a “ stay of proceedings “, postponing his decision until July 9. By then, Gérard Lopez must find an agreement with an investor, which should allow the owner of the Girondins de Bordeaux to have the necessary finances to ensure the future of the club. The suspense is therefore intense, because Gérard Lopez has one week to finalize this operation, and for the moment this is not the case. Responsible for the Girondins website, Nicolas Pietrelli claims that this Monday the two camps are still discussing, but that nothing has been signed while time is pressing.
Tense atmosphere around the Girondins de Bordeaux
Our colleague reveals that the negotiations are intense and tense between Gérard Lopez and the famous investor who is American according to different sources. « There is very little information filtering through, this morning, it was not signed between the parties. The details are not yet settled. It is hard negotiating between the personalities and there are 8 days left to arrive with good news in front of the DNCG “, says Nicolas Pietrelli, who admits that all this is enough to make Bordeaux supporters anxious. For two seasons, Girondins fans have been going through crisis after crisis, and the delay again this summer for the transfer window does not herald an easy 2024-2025 season. The objective of a rapid rise to Ligue 1 is no longer relevant, a simple green light from the DNCG on July 9 will already be good news. The white smoke is therefore expected very quickly above Haillan.
