On RMC, Christophe Dugarry spoke about the return to better fortune clause concerning Gérard Lopez’s 38 million euros at the Girondins de Bordeaux. For him, it is the one and only reason for his presence, again, at the head of the Club.
“He’ll never sit on his money, that’s why he’s still here… Today, what Lopez hopes for is to get his money back again, and make a move… That’s why he’s here, otherwise he would have left already. He doesn’t give a damn about being here…”
And he gave an example…
“We played a match for the 100th anniversary of Parc Lescure two months ago, and the guy didn’t even come into the locker room to greet the legends of the Club… When you say you love a club, Alain Giresse, Marius Trésor, Zinedine Zidane, Yoann Gourcuff, Bixente Lizarazu… There were so many legends. He didn’t even come into the locker room to greet the players. How can you say you love the Girondins de Bordeaux club?! The stadium was full, absolutely full! After a while, why? Because he’s still hoping for a Trafalgar coup, he’s still hoping that there’s going to be some kind of deal where he’ll be able to get his money back… Don’t make me believe that he’s decided to give up his 38 million euros… it’s not true, it’s false, absolutely false. I don’t understand why he’s still at the club, and why he doesn’t speak out… And no one tells him anything! The only thing is the fans, the employees too probably… What the fans want is to get rid of Lopez. Everyone is mobilizing for him to leave. Nothing will be possible today in this club, as long as Gérard Lopez is there. He’s staying because he still hopes to get his money back. The club is blocked! Beyond what can happen for good or bad. This is the life of our club today, we’re going to have to face it. But nothing is possible because Gérard Lopez is still there, in a situation that no one understands.”
