The UNFP steps up to the plate in the Stade Rennais loft

Fourteenth in Ligue 1 and disappointingly eliminated by Troyes in the round of 16 of the Coupe de France, Stade Rennais is going through a period of crisis. While the Breton club is working on strengthening its workforce, departures are also being considered. With this in mind, a loft should soon emerge to exclude certain players.

A situation which quickly caused the National Union of Professional Footballers (UNFP) to react. In a press release, the union reacted: “Frédéric Thiriez's mustache must have straightened up suddenly when the new president of the National Ethics Council learned that Stade Rennais, which is striving – who knows why – to become a club like any other, has created a loft if not – for the moment? – to be able to add some of its employees, professional footballers under contract from their state, to the Christie's catalog… The former president of the LFP, as the UNFP encourages him, will have to explain to François-Henri Pinault , between two glasses of Latour, that the FFF is committed – it is written in its Ethical Charter – to guarantee that no attack can be made on the dignity or integrity of a person, whether under form of violence (physical or moral), harassment or any other hostile act whose objective is to isolate or ostracize a person or affect their dignity.» Before concluding: “The UNFP calls for the closure of the Rennes loft and reminds the owner of Kering of these few words from a fashion designer: “Elegance is not a question of luxury, of wealth, but of attitude”“. The message is clear.
