In Greg's Team, Gregory Ascherpresenter and supporter of the Girondins de Bordeaux, spoke about the news affecting Gérard Lopez, president of the Girondins de Bordeaux. His Boavista club is on the verge of liquidation. On the other hand, he was sentenced to ten months' suspended imprisonment and a fine of 45,000 euros because of an affair when he was at LOSC.
« Gérard Lopez sentenced to 10 months suspended imprisonment and a fine of 45,000 euros. I'm not sure that this wouldn't please Girondins de Bordeaux supporters. It seems completely lunar, and he still remains president of the Girondins de Bordeaux because he does not want to give up. […] Often the strategy was 'For me to be in the Champions League very quickly, I have to maintain myself'. Remember for Lille, the support passed but it was ultra tight. In Bordeaux too he believed that it could happen and they fell. He thought they were going to come back and then there were these two catastrophic matches (in Annecy and against Rodez). At one point there is no longer anything to hold on to the branches because there are no more branches. That's just how it happens. It's a game of poker, betting money on the backs of people who are today unhappy, unemployed… And fans who no longer have a club to support. »
