Capital of the Dukes of Brittany, less class.
In 32es in the final of the Coupe de France, FC Nantes respected JA Drancy on the field, winning (0-4). Outside, however, is a different story. As relayed by The Parisianthe Nantes management effectively refused to leave the recipe for its victory (13,000 euros) to the Ile-de-France club. Enough to make Alain Melaye, president of Drancy, cringe: « We are going to make a transfer to Nantes of 13,000 euros while the club has a budget of several tens of millions of euros. For us, the trip to the Bauer stadium (where the match was played) and all the expenses incurred will leave us with a hole of 40,000 euros. We will undoubtedly have to pay a large protective net to the Red Star manager because the Nantes ultras burned him after the match. »
Melaye also added that he was in no way able to discuss with Waldemar Kita, the president of the FCN: “The players made us a guard of honor and I was able to greet Antoine Kombouaré but there was no human contact with the Nantes leaders. I was told that President Waldemar Kita was there but he never came to see us. They also didn't want to come to the post-match reception. » Contacted by The ParisianFranck Kita, the general director of Nantes, for his part, fell back on the imperatives of his club: « We had decided that we would remove our travel, bus and hotel costs from our share of revenue, he confides. And if there had been a remainder on this share, we would have left it to the club. But this part didn't even pay half of our costs. » As a reminder, the regulations do not require professional clubs to share revenue with their amateur counterparts.
And the Kita are used to football.
