It is in National 2 that Bordeaux will start next season. The DNCG gave its green light on Tuesday to the Girondins, even if their payroll will be supervised. A satisfaction for Gérard Lopez, who was confident before his passage in front of the financial gendarme of French football. “We have been working on all this for months, the teams have invested a lot, and there are rules and laws that we have respected”, he welcomes himself in
South West.
For him, it is now time to focus on the sportsman and the construction of a quality workforce, which allows FCGB to climb the ladder. “The objective is to go back to Ligue 1”he announces, confirming the maintenance of coach Bruno Irles and the sports director John Williams at their post. “We will announce players, make a real preparation”says the former boss of LOSC, who intends to renew “75 to 80%” of the team during the summer transfer window.
“Changing even more would have been an error when we understood how the N2 works. We will no longer be able to hide: we play the climb, only the climb »announces the Hispano-Luxembourg businessman, who aims
“A climb every two years”. If this rate is respected, the Bordeaux will access the National in 2026, Ligue 2 in 2028 and the hexagonal elite in 2030. Will Gérard Lopez still be stationed in five years?
Bordeaux in Ligue 1 by 2030?
Recently, the former German goalkeeper Oliver Kahn had a candidate for the redemption of the FCGB, but he finally withdrew in early June. Which has been valued in the billionaire many criticisms.
“All those who opened it, elected, ex-players, they are nowhere, have never done anything, have not put a euro. They pushed investors who had nothing ”he denounces, returning precisely to the proposal made by the former Mannschaft porter.
“Oliver Kahn made a verbal offer of 30 million, a letter of intent of 15 million which had no meaning and he retired a few days later by saying that he had 50he explains. Another group (Arkin) found himself in front of the financial prosecution because it is undoubtedly fraud. In short, as much as I can understand that we do not accept that we are in National 2, as much I am quite frightened by the analyzes that I can read on the right to the left. »»
