The Girondins de Bordeaux will pass next Wednesday in front of the DNCG. And by then, Gérard Lopez must find 40 million euros, while the club will remain in Ligue 2 next season.

After appearing before the CNOSF on Friday as part of its appeal against the sanction following the match against Rodez, the Bordeaux club will know the answer at the start of the week. The Girondins have now accepted the idea that they will not move up to Ligue 1, waiting for the CNOSF to recommend that the LFP withdraw the penalty point planned for next season. At the same time, the scapular club has not appealed to the FFF and will therefore not go to the administrative court. But, it is another summit which presents itself in front of Gérard Lopez, namely the passage next Wednesday in front of the National Management Control Department (DNCG). A few days before this passage, France Bleu Gironde announces that the situation is not glorious.

Gérard Lopez ready to drop millions?

Journalist for the local media, Clément Carpentier affirms that the president-owner of the Girondins must find 40 million euros and not 20 as had been said. ” The Girondins must find 40 million euros by Wednesday and their passage before the DNCG to complete their budget for next season. The case is progressing slowly. Mission difficult but not impossible. Two solutions on the table. Gérard Lopez himself reinjects this money (confident entourage even if no one has ever put such a sum for an L2 club) or player sales (Bakwa, Ignatenko and/or Bokele). There will be no new investors », warns the journalist. Remember all the same that the club has already carried out several operations to soften the bill, and that Lopez will not have all of the 40 million euros to put out of his pocket. Far from it.
