To cover the deficit of the Girondins, who pass this Wednesday in front of the DNCG, the president of the club Gérard Lopez should bring in his own name 40 million euros, according to information from L’Equipe.
The fear was in order for the Girondins, on the occasion this Wednesday of their annual and dreaded passage before the DNCG, the financial policeman of French football. But contrary to what was expected, the audition should go better than expected this year: according to information from The TeamGérard Lopez, the president of the club, should bring in his own name 40 million euros to the Bordeaux current accounts.
The Luxembourg businessman would have informed the DNCG directly, via a document sent ahead of the hearing. In it, he indicates that he is making a financial contribution without going through his company, Joga Bonito. A way to reduce the club’s deficit without selling players and weakening sportingly. The Girondins’ debt to their main creditor, Fortress, would only amount to 4.70 million euros, against 60 million a year ago.
A long history with the DNCG
Owner of the Girondins since 2021, Lopez thus wants to avoid the setbacks he experienced with the DNCG during the two previous seasons, to thus start the 2023-2024 financial year on a serene basis. In 2021, Bordeaux had indeed been demoted to Ligue 2 as a precaution, until the current president managed to finalize his takeover project. The following year, the club was threatened with National, before an appeal to the CNOSF finally formalized its maintenance in the second division.
If we still have to wait for the final decision of the DNCG, which is not acquired, the Bordelais seem well on their way to playing a new season in Ligue 2… but not in Ligue 1, as they still hoped there. little. The CNOSF indeed confirmed in the afternoon the defeat of the Girondins against Rodez, on the occasion of the last day of the championship. A decision that the club said “accept” but regret.
