On RMC, the comedian and supporter of the Girondins de Bordeaux,
Baptiste Lecaplainwas questioned by Daniel Riolo on the number of players on whom he had intervened in terms of their transfer to Gironde. Obviously two. This was when he was still the owner, he who was close to Nicolas de Tavernost;
” Two. But I didn't do anything crazy. It's just that the staff told me at the time that they wanted to recruit two players, which Nicolas de Tavernost was a little blocking. I just… It was just during the pre-match, the car ride… I said to him 'yes, Nicolas, I think it would be good, because we're a bit lacking…'. He told me 'yes, I know, the coach spoke to me about it, we'll see, we'll see'. And then there you have it… The two players? It was Nicolas De Préville, a great success. He was not a bad player at all, and I will tell one day when he retires, I respect his football career, but I will tell you a rather tasty anecdote about his not very prolific year in Bordeaux because of something which drove me crazy. And the other was Paul Baysse. He is still in the club's organizational chart today, and that was very good. I had a central hinge one evening in Troyes Paul Baysse-Jules Koundé, it was pretty good.”
