On France Bleu Gironde, the lawyer for the Girondins de Bordeaux,
Laurent Cotretspoke about the court's confidence in the judicial recovery, and then at the beginning of the year began to renegotiate the debt with the creditors.
“We really hope that the specter of judicial liquidation goes away. The energy put in by everyone, the trust – and once again I insist on this – shows that judicial liquidation would have been an error. A serious error for football in Aquitaine and Bordeaux, throughout the South-West. And so I think that the option we took to go towards legal recovery, to fight against all odds so that this club survives, was the right option. Today, in any case what we can say is that confidence is given to be able to present this plan in the coming months, that is to say to go towards the month of April, May, or June, towards already an approval at the Court, and then go to the DNCG so that the club lives and that a cleaned up club – this is also very important in the reflection – will have weight in the future. Because there are so many clubs in the elite which suffer from the weight of their expenses, their debts, etc., that we think today that a cleaned up club – and Bordeaux will be cleaned up – will truly have the means to develop and redevelop at the highest level, that is to say in Ligue 1 quite quickly.”
