Former Greens glory, Johnny Rep has returned to Forez in recent days. The opportunity to grant an interview with Laurent Hess of ButFootballClub. Back to the AS Saint-Etienne chronicle. Extracts.
“I will be a fan of the Greens all my life. Bastia, Valence, I watch the results. But ASSE and Ajax are more than that. Saint-Etienne, I watch the games when I can”.
I think what hit was my hat-trick against Lodz (3-0). (summarized below)
The last time I went back was in the spring. I was worried. The club had been playing with fire for several years. AXIS in Ligue 2 is a scandal! It’s not normal. Bordeaux is the same. These are historical clubs. That they do not end up among the first, it can happen. But in L2, no. It is dramatic. The fans don’t deserve it.

I hope the club will recover, that they will have a good season. This descent is perhaps an opportunity to start over in a healthier way. There was a great win against Bastia, 5-0. It shows that the team is capable of great things. It will be difficult to return this year because there is a delay but the championship is long. This is just the beginning. You must believe it !

We have been hearing about this sale for a long time but the presidents are still there. I know there were people interested, Asians, Americans. But I don’t know why they didn’t buy it back. “
