“It’s a big disappointment for amateur football”

The winner of the 2022 edition of the Old Lady did not leave his share of the revenue to the current twelfth in group E of the fifth French division. In an interview with Le Parisien, Alain Melaye (president of the JAD) expressed his anger: “We are going to transfer 13,000 euros to Nantes residents while the club has a budget of several tens of millions of euros. For us, the trip to the Bauer stadium 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 Ultras Nantais have it. burned after the match. I'm disappointed, bitter and angry! It's a big disappointment for amateur football. There is no rapprochement between amateurs and professionals. However, many stars come from small amateur clubs. Kita’s attitude is petty.”
