“I first wonder about the extent of his fortune”

Jean-Louis Triaud on South West: “With Gérard Lopez, we don’t see each other much. There are board meetings by video conference, it lasts a quarter of an hour. He is open, we feel that he is passionate about football. I first wonder about the extent of his fortune. Can he handle losing that much money without too much difficulty? I wish him.

Second thing, he insists. He continues to put money into trying to revive the club. The other day, we ran into each other. I told him, “You’re brave, it’s risky.” He replied: “I don’t want to leave the club in too negative a situation”. He put in the money, but it was not well supervised and this money was not used well.”

“I don’t know if he had that many qualities”

“His sports director (Admar Lopes) had qualities with Luis Campos, but without Luis Campos, I don't know if he had that many qualities. Gérard Lopez recovered the catastrophic legacy of GACP. In this house in bad shape condition, it would have been better to redo the foundations rather than change the furniture.”
