The happiness of some is the misfortune of others. In a lengthy statement on Wednesday, July 27, Girondins de Bordeaux officially announced to their fans that the club will remain in Ligue 2. It enabled him to secure his place at the second level of French football.
This decision inevitably grimaces Villefranche-sur-Saône. The Rhodaniens, who finished third in the last National 1 championship, failed to get a ticket to the next level in terms of sport. Villefranche lost to 18 in the end-of-season play-offpearl Division 2 Quevilly-Rouen (1-3; 0-2). The club in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region therefore relied on Bordeaux’s financial difficulties to reach the professional level, but FFF’s choice to justify the Girondins’ care is seen as a real cold shower. For the head of Villefranche Philippe Terrier, it is not the budget dossier submitted by his counterpart Gérard Lopez and the Bordeaux leaders, but the case of the club with the scapula that allows him to save his head:
“Let Gérard Lopez precede CNOSF, okay. But getting there with completely new elements, and then there… No, no. Normally, CNOSF would need to verify or override what the DNCG did by looking at the items provided to the DNCG. But there they looked for new elements! This is totally illegal, we’re heading towards something crazy. Seniors in the federation told me: “If it was another club, we would have followed the rules. But it’s there, Girondins de Bordeaux.” But wait, we’re in a democracy, right?“, started Terrier in an interview with the team.
