The “ultras” supporters of Montpellier HSC have decided to wish their club a Merry Christmas in a very special way. Ulcerated by the low sporting level in Ligue 1 (red lantern) and by the humiliation received at Puy (N2) in the Coupe de France on Saturday December 21 (4-0), the Ultras sent a very aggressive press release to the players and managers of the club.
“While our club has just suffered yet another humiliation this season, we cannot remain without reaction to the catastrophic situation in which the entire Pailladine community is plunged, they wrote. The 4-0 elimination against Le Puy Foot 43 (N2) in the Coupe de France is already a huge professional error. It is also unworthy of our jersey, unworthy of the history of our club and a shame for all lovers of the club and the city. »
President Laurent Nicollin targeted
On the pitch at Le Puy, captain Téji Savanier was questioned by an opposing supporter, who asked him if the club's bad luck was not too hard to live with. To which he replied: “When you earn €210,000 per month, no”. The Ultras had very little taste for this declaration in the middle of the match.
“When we think we've hit rock bottom, they find a way to take us even lower. But the disillusionment is even greater when Téji Savanier, our captain, takes the liberty of responding to a spectator that being last in Ligue 1 'as long as I earn €210,000, I don't care'. This statement is the last straw. “.

They also had a word for the president: “How long will the club's leaders, and first and foremost Laurent Nicollin, tolerate the club being tarnished in this way? Are these the values of La Paillade? […] Today, the club oscillates between the ridiculous and the pitiful, we do not wish them happy holidays. We don't even dare hope that this period will serve for any reflection or questioning: for that the players would have to have an ounce of pride. »
