Journalist
After trying different sports, Thibault turned to a career as an amateur footballer. When making a choice between becoming a professional footballer and a journalist, the qualities tipped the scales to one side. Here he is now in the editorial staff of 10 Sport, after a diploma obtained at the International Institute of Communication in Paris.
Today, French football is in a very complicated state. In fact, the various clubs are experiencing significant shortfalls, particularly following the new TV rights agreement. FC Nantes is not spared from this. A situation which forces Waldemar Kita to reinject money from his own pocket, otherwise disaster would strike.
Re-elected president of the LFP, Vincent Labrune saw things big for French football TV rights. On several occasions, he had mentioned the price of a billion euros. We are ultimately very far from it. Indeed, while DAZN won the stake for Ligue 1, it ended up at… only €400M.
“We are talking about a huge shortfall of €500-600 million”
Pour The team, Waldemar Kita s’est confided on this enormous shortfall for French football. The president of FC Nantes: “ The TV rights episode did a lot of harm to French football. We are talking about a huge shortfall of €500-600 million. We must be aware of the problems that this will cause ».
“€35 and €40 million to be put back over the season, otherwise we file for bankruptcy”
« How much does this represent for FC Nantes? Between €35 and €40 million to be put back over the season, otherwise we file for bankruptcy. I have already reinvested €10 million over the last two months. The problem is that we presented all the clubs with a fait accompli », then continued Waldemar Kita about the situation at FC Nanteswhere he will therefore still have to inject €30M.
