FC Nantes, placed under financial surveillance since last June, has once again been summoned by the DNCG.
FC Nantes: The FCN risks relegation as a precautionary measure?
The National Directorate of Management Control (DNCG) is hearing FC Nantes again this Tuesday, according to The Team. The Nantes club is going through a difficult financial situation, caused by the drastic fall in its television rights. This fall, going from 30 to only 6 million euros, put the Nantes club in difficulty.
Faced with this critical situation, the owner of the FCN, Waldemar Kita, was forced to inject between 35 and 40 million euros of his personal fortune to avoid bankruptcy. According to The Worldthis effort helped keep the Yellow House afloat.
Despite the injections of funds from owner Waldemar Kita and efforts to reduce the payroll, the Nantes club is struggling to balance its accounts. Maintaining the salary framework seems inevitable, unless the club implements new drastic measures, such as the sale of players, to redress its situation.
“If the sanction is lifted, the workforce should be adjusted quite significantly. If the sanction is maintained, it will be necessary to end up with this limited squad, and therefore reduce its chances of remaining at the end of the season. If the sanction is increased, the FCN could be banned from recruiting this winter or even relegated as a precautionary measure like OL. explained insider Emmanuel Merceron on his X account.
