Dorian Waymeleditor-in-chief of the specialized site My League 2spoke about the last day of the Ligue 2 championship and this 38th day which saw the Girondins de Bordeaux beat the club Pau FC (3-2). He notably expressed himself on the fact that 17th place could be synonymous with a repechage if a club were to have difficulties before the DNCG.
“I wrote an article, in fact we got a bit of a slap on the wrist from the Bordeaux supporters. But be careful, this is not at all targeted against Bordeaux. But it’s reality, it’s factual, the 17th place, in the LFP regulations, if there is an administrative draft it is the 17th. Then afterwards it’s in the order of the classification, 18th, 19th… It’s not the third from National 1 who would be drafted, we take the order of the relegated from Ligue 2. Bordeaux, everyone knows that for the Right now it’s a bit vague, we don’t know. There are 50 million to find for Gérard Lopez. No doubt he will wear them or he will find a partner, we don’t know. There is a blur. Red Star, we know that the shareholder ‘777 Partners’ is complicated, there are complaints against them. There is also Martigues, can they go up? Is this a club that has the shoulders to move up to Ligue 2? There are several clubs, we know… Last year with Sochaux, we saw the problems coming when they passed the first pass in front of the DNCG. If you listened to Samuel Laurent, things went smoothly etc… So there is perhaps another club in Ligue 2 which is in difficulty and which we do not know today… This is not to point the finger at a club in particular, it’s just that finishing 17th, you’re relegated ok, but we tell you that you can have a tiny chance of being drafted, obviously you hold on to that! You cling to the branches. This doesn’t mean you want a club to die. It’s just that at least, if there is an industrial accident at someone’s home, you have done the work to be placed.”
