The misfortune of some is the happiness of others… Sochaux dismissed by the CNOSF, Annecy will find itself drafted in Ligue 2.
The blow is hard for FC Sochaux-Montbéliard, perhaps fatal… This Tuesday, the French National Olympic and Sports Committee (CNOSF) issued a negative opinion on the reintegration of the club into Ligue 2. Administratively downgraded after the study of its balance sheets and its provisional budget by the National Management Control Department (DNCG), the FCSM is losing a battle with serious consequences.
Despite the takeover project carried out by Romain Peugeot and new capital promised, the CNOSF was not convinced according to information from L’Equipe. An opinion certainly advisory but which will not encourage the Professional Football League (LFP) and the DNCG to review its position on the relegation of the Cubs. Maintaining the sentence initially pronounced for Sochaux is potentially dramatic. The Doubiste club now risking bankruptcy.
With Annecy in L2 in four days
Behind this disaster announced for some, of course, is a godsend for others. The probable confirmation of the demotion of the FCSM promises a repechage to provide Ligue 2 with a 20e team this season. A joker who should logically return to Annecy, 17e and first relegated from the previous financial year. An unhappy Haute-Savoie club last season, condemned by the incredible scenario of the match on the last day of the championship between Bordeaux and Rodez. The tide has obviously turned. To the great misfortune of Sochaux.
