During the last municipal council of the city of Bordeaux, Philippe Poutou took the time to criticize the management of the Girondins de Bordeaux club file by the town hall and its two-tier support.
The current context at the Girondins de Bordeaux is not really favorable to positive reviews. The athlete is a bubble that allows us to forget the massive problems facing the club. In parallel with a gala 32nd final of the Coupe de France against Stade Rennais, Bordeaux town hall continues to discuss the strategy to put in place to help the club not sink lower than it is. Already. A strategy criticized by Philippe Poutou during the last municipal council. The NPA elected official does not understand the laxity of the policy of the town hall and the Bordeaux metropolis.
“This seems scandalous to us”
« We think of the hundred people who were made redundant. Have you seen the huge salaries of players in Ligue 2? These are still numbers. How did the community view this club that it was supposed to help and which could not pay the stadium rent? There was money and that seems scandalous to us. This raises the problem of having a more critical look at what has been done, and also of calling into question the policy that has been pursued in this assembly. We must discuss more rigorous solutions than what has been exercised so far », declared Philippe Poutou during the last municipal council of the city of Bordeaux. The NPA elected official largely questions the position of the town hall in the fall of the Girondins. He had already given great responsibility to the community and the metropolis in the current situation of the club during the metropolitan council meeting on December 6.
His position has not changed since. Philippe Poutou is especially thinking of the many employees of the Girondins de Bordeaux who recently lost their jobs after an important social plan. There are 86 of them who left. The former candidate in the last presidential elections also sees that in the end, it is the taxpayer who will pay more local taxes to limit the damage from the catastrophic management of Gérard Lopez.
