I didn’t expect us to play for relegation. The transfer window gives us even more strength. We look towards the top of the table. Step down. I didn’t expect us to play for maintenance. We are improving with the players and the coach. We have to be in the game from the first match next season. Before we talk about next year, we need to slay a few dragons. »

The DNCG continues to supervise us for the sustainability of all French clubs, continued the American. They took into account the good financial news from the first and second quarters. They gave us 65 million euros for the transfer window. We have to make 20 million euros in sales that we can make this summer. Everything is going in the right direction. We are right on budget. We are happy that the DCNG saw this. We had this flexibility. We put a lot of money into these loans. We take a risk. It is up to the DNCG to validate these contracts, they have given their agreement. These are optional options, to see if we will lift them. There are many ways to cover these 20 million euros (best performance on the sale of the women’s team in the United States, sale of the LDLC Arena, etc.) The DNCG looks at all the figures. We can substitute a profit and you can find another line to cover. That’s not a huge number to cover. »
