Still under threat of judicial liquidation, Bordeaux could soon change ownership. With the help of the former president of Olympique de Marseille Jacques-Henri Eyraud, the German Oliver Kahn inquired about the conditions of a possible takeover of the club from Gérard Lopez.
The decision rendered by the DNCG confirms that Bordeaux is not out of the woods. Last November, the federal commission of the financial policeman issued a regulation of the payroll of the Girondins. Proof that the Aquitaine club still remains under the threat of judicial liquidation. Owner Gérard Lopez avoided the worst scenario last summer, when the Marine et Blanc, kept sportingly in Ligue 2, were administratively demoted to National 2.
Since then, Bordeaux supporters as well as the city of Bordeaux have feared further bad news given that the majority shareholder shows no reassuring signs. Lovers of the Girondins will therefore be delighted to learn that the club is still the subject of approaches. According to the regional daily Sud Ouest, a certain Jacques-Henri Eyraud contacted Gérard Lopez last December. The former president of Olympique de Marseille would have undertaken this approach at the request of Oliver Kahn who wanted to know the conditions of a possible takeover of the FCGB.
Kahn contacted the town hall
It's no secret that the National 2 resident's debt, although in sharp decline, still exists. But the information collected by the German apparently did not cool him down. The former emblematic goalkeeper of Bayern Munich continues to study the file and has even contacted the town hall of Bordeaux. His goal, as a manager capable of raising funds from other investors, would be to become a club owner. The one who had served as president of the Bavarian club could therefore begin his new career with the Girondins. At least if this information is confirmed. For the moment, those around him assure that there is nothing concrete.
