Relegated to National 2 this summer, the Girondins de Bordeaux are not at their best economically. Passing in front of the federal DNCG for its mid-season meeting, the scapular club limited the damage.
Supporters of the Girondins de Bordeaux are no longer too calm as the meetings before the financial authorities of French football approach. Administratively relegated from Ligue 2 to National 2 this season, the scapular club saw the DNCG impose a payroll control this summer. This Tuesday, Bordeaux went before the federal club control commission for its mid-season meeting. This was to ensure that the finances of the Bordeaux club were not in a worse state than a few months ago. Good news for Girondins supporters, no other measures have been taken with regard to FCGB according to information from Ouest-France. Only the management of the payroll is currently maintained.
Bordeaux avoids a demotion to National 3
A lesser evil for Bordeaux, which continues to be in the sights of the financial policeman of French football. This summer, while sportingly in Ligue 2, Gérard Lopez was unable to allow the Girondins to keep their place in the second division after the failure of the takeover of the club by Fenway Sports Club at the last moment. If the DNCG had noted a radical change in finances, the sanction could have been more serious, such as an administrative demotion to National 3 as a precautionary measure. However, Bordeaux is not yet completely out of the woods. On January 25, 2025, the club has an appointment before the commercial court and Gérard Lopez, the disputed president of Bordeaux, will have to provide a sum of one million euros. It will be necessary to convince all the authorities to hope to see Bordeaux rebuild a sporting project over several seasons.
