It's Christmas and the butfootballclub.fr editorial team is doing the traditional end-of-year review through the prism of the tree. We focus on the upcoming Mercato through the prism of Waldemar Kita.
Last summer, concerned about the TV rights verdict, he was left to speak before the senators about a plan to dismiss the club's small hands to cope with the drop in estimated revenues. He had also left FC Nantes under supervision of its payroll and transfer allowances, raising fears of the worst after a summer transfer window far from its expectations in terms of sales. So what could have happened for the boss of the Flava Group to put so much money into the pot to get through the DNCG without any problem and afford the right to have a much more open Mercato in January? ?
Freed from the DNCG, Nantes can strengthen itself… if it makes room!
As for the sale of FC Nantes on which he blows hot and cold, Waldemar's paths are not always easy to take (like his rare communications to understand). But it is important to ask the right questions: are we dealing with a Santa Claus wanting to save his Canaries from sporting relegation to Ligue 2? Or to a Fouettard father who advanced the money to afford the scalp of his coach for the 20th of his mandate and then count his money on recruitment? Probably a bit of both…
FC Nantes has a bit of winter needs and the money from neo-billionaire Kita (he is only one since the sale of Vivacy in December 2022) should be used for that. Among the Canaries, one of the biggest needs, however, is to slim down the mammoth a little: too many average players to duplicate certain positions, demobilized elements for whom a solution would have to be found (Lafont, Mohamed, etc.) to stack up to new to these positions. The equation is not simple but the odds are, for once, ultimately quite straightforward because Nantes will have the means to achieve its ambitions. At the same time, can we really talk about ambition when we constantly live in fear of going down to Ligue 2 and running away at the end?
