Like a feeling of déjà vu among other French monuments. In a press release published this Thursday, AC Ajaccio revealed that the potential future buyers of the club had finally withdrawn, which will force the Corsican club to review its copy, and to find new investors. As a reminder, the ACA, in great financial difficulties, is subject to a precautionary demotion at the end of the season following the latest decisions of the DNCG and today finds itself penultimate in Ligue 2. A context “critique», as the press release underlines. “As we announced several months ago, the Club was looking for a buyer likely to ensure the sustainability of the institution… Our financial situation, always limited, suffered two very hard blows. The sponsorship contract duly signed with a Portuguese group was not honored! These are 5 million budgeted euros which have thus disappeared…”

«With the urgency of a sale becoming pressing, Mr. Fattaccioli, in contact with a group of buyers, signed a sale protocol with effect from August 31. The buyers undertook to ensure the maintenance of the club and planned the construction of a hotel of which 50% of the income would go to the ACA. After asking for a postponement until December 31, while guaranteeing their commitment, they finally withdrew. We therefore find ourselves in a critical situation. It must be clarified that Mr. Fattaccioli's good faith cannot be called into question since he himself found 3 million euros paid to the club at the end of last June. We are mobilized to find a solution even if there is reason to be worried! Obviously any real estate transaction which would not guarantee the maintenance of the club will be refused. We were hoping to have better news for this year», Indicates the press release.
