The 4-0 elimination against Puy-en-Velay, a club playing in National 2, during the Coupe de France, remains in the throat of MHSC supporters. For the Ultras Pailladins, it is a “umpteenth humiliation of the season“, described as shameful and unworthy for a club playing in Ligue 1. So, on December 24, 2024, they published a press release to criticize the situation.
The behavior of the players is strongly criticized. “They do not seem concerned by the dramatic situation we are experiencing“, deplore the supporters. The indignation is greater when the captain is iquestioned by a spectator who asks him “Last in the League, does that hurt?” Téji Savanier retorts “when you earn 210,000 euros per month, no”.This sentence, perceived as a lack of respect towards the club's supporters, caused a shock wave. The apologies published by the club on behalf of the captain were not enough to calm things down.
Until when will the leaders of the club, and first and foremost Laurent Nicollin, tolerate the club being tarnished in this way?
A spiral of defeats. Currently last in Ligue 1, with nine points in the standingsMontpellier only won one match out of the 15 played this saison. For the Ultras Pailladins, the players bear part of the responsibility, but the management is not spared.
Players tarnish our image day after day, but they are not the only ones. The president, his advisor and all the leaders also share a heavy responsibility for their bad choices and their disastrous management.
