However, the disciplinary committee does not currently sit. But the Girondins de Bordeaux have just issued a provisional suspension. This comes from its main sponsor Bistro Régent. The company has temporarily suspended its partnership. CEO Marc Vanhove explains this to AFP, confirming information from L'Equipe: the Girondins “we owe us a service that they cannot currently assume since they do not play. Insofar as they cannot give us their service, we suspend the contract until further notice, until we have the dates of recovery, that we know that it will resume, if it resumes because that we are not sure that it will resume ”.
The CEO of Bistro Régent, a chain of more than 150 restaurants across France, made this decision on March 23, before paying the monthly installment in April. "Behind, there was Canal +, BeIN, the Accor group, not to mention those we haven't heard of" who did the same thing, he recalls. "It is quite obvious that, having no more benefits, everyone is forced to suspend, it seems so logical to me and it is a case of force majeure".
"With UBB, everything is already paid for"
The contract between the Girondins and the Bistro Régent runs until 2023 for a maximum amount of 10 million euros over 4 years, it fluctuates according to the classification of the Girondins at the end of the season. Contacted, the Girondins, plagued by a significant structural deficit, did not "wish to make comments".
Regarding the partnership that links Bistro Régent to the Bordeaux-Bègles rugby club, leader of the Top 14 before the competition stops, Marc Vanhove wanted to be more reassuring. “With UBB, everything is already paid for. We will see later if they do not finish the season, trying to be united. But when it's not paid, it's different. "
