For Bordeaux Le Mag, the journalist Laurent Brun, spoke after the victory of the Girondins de Bordeaux against Dunkirk (2-1), on behalf of the 34th day of Ligue 2. He notably discussed the news of the club and its President Gérard Lopez. He’s putting money back into the pot every month now, which wasn’t planned.
“Quite. But since we don’t know exactly what he does, we don’t know if it’s his money or not, so it doesn’t matter, it seems that the money ultimately, if it arrives and it brings happiness and the sustainability of the club, ok. But hey, that’s a bit reductive. But today, no one is fooled. Nobody knows, but nobody is fooled. The supporters, some of whom Gérard Lopez had perhaps put in his pocket, because he is a talker, a good talker, and he knows how to do it, also realize that today, the club, he is ghostly.”
Then there was talk of potential buyers and this takeover project which apparently was not accepted:
“Was it indeed not solid? Okay, maybe. Did he refuse them because he thinks he will succeed? OK why not. Did he refuse them because, out of pure ego, I don’t know, I don’t know him well enough, maybe too. Did he refuse them because he already has a plan established, that he doesn’t talk about it because it may not be finalized and it will be positive in a while? Ok, we can consider it too, why not. But in fact, we know nothing. In fact, we don’t know anything. So, everyone is wondering, everyone is afraid, because we are afraid all the same. We’re not just in football here. We are in something else. We are beyond football. Yeah, sportingly, I think that the maintenance will be acquired. Afterwards, financially, administratively, another match begins. And what trick is still going on with the DNCG in June? Will he use it? Will he do it? I don’t know. But he doesn’t communicate? We don’t communicate.”
