Have you ever tried to talk to a wall? Everyone knows this expression or may have already experienced this feeling. This is somewhat the case when we try to have information on the future of Hormadi. The Basque club, maintained sportingly in the Magnus League, is not a heavy and cold bulwark but for several days, it has been difficult to know its future.
However, on April 16, Olivier Bouney decided to reveal to Sud-Ouest his intentions to take over the team. The current president of the amateur then estimated the time limit for the effective resumption to be one month. Cédric Cazenabe, the chairman of the board of directors, estimated the deadline at fifteen days. Two weeks later, where are we? Difficult to know. Behind the scenes, we are assured that the “file is being finalized. Things are progressing and within a week the recovery should be complete.”
See you on May 7
Indeed, according to our information, Cédric Cazenabe has set for May 7 the holding of an extraordinary general meeting. A meeting of partners and managers, as the name does not indicate, is planned on the calendar. At the end, the situation should settle down and the future of the club will finally become clearer. Because today, staff, players and supporters remain in total limbo.
A difficult context which necessarily worries a little more in the locker room. And there, the silence is less felt than in the offices. “I have had very few exchanges with the club but what is certain is that I will be rather open to returning to Anglet,” assures, for example, Nick Jermain. I enjoyed the time spent here. For the moment, I’m taking advantage of my free time to travel to Europe.”

Dotted future
And the transfers? While Hormadi is in trouble, the market is done without him and the Basques are falling behind the other Magnus League teams. When the others announce arrivals and departures every day, on the Anglet side, there is radio silence. “I cannot give any indications about my future,” says Fabien Kazarine. Everything should be announced soon.” The future of the staff is also written in dotted lines. After successfully taking over from Pierrick Rézard, will Mathieu Cyr be the head coach next season? He too is waiting.

This ignition delay, Olivier Bouney was not too worried about it in our columns. “It’s complicated but in my head I remain calm,” assured the Angloy entrepreneur 15 days ago. I take the example of Marseille which had a good season and which started late. There are always players who stay and we are lucky to be in an area where we have loyal players. Today, there are solutions and they are arriving. They may be a little too late but we have no choice.”
