The same morning, Mayor Pierre Hurmic (EELV) had reaffirmed his intention to meddle in the club's affairs, since its president Frédéric Longuépée "so far has not been too successful". But in terms of management, it has not yet failed, may retort Longuépée. The Girondins de Bordeaux, in full tension between their supporters and their American owner, passed without incident the accounting examination of the National Directorate of Management Control (DNCG), which announced Thursday that it had taken no action against the club.

For Bordeaux, this news is a relief, as the past few weeks have been agitated on all fronts. Coach Paulo Sousa's desire to leave, who is currently negotiating the terms of his departure, has prolonged on the pitch the crisis that was brewing behind the scenes, marked by the opposition of ultras to the shareholder, the American fund King Street, and the management of the club they are resigning from.

50 million deficit

At the beginning of July, the election to the mayor of Bordeaux of the ecologist Pierre Hurmic added to the ambient cacophony. The new mayor considered that a club "cannot afford the luxury of going against the main club of supporters and treating them with such contempt and arrogance", statement to the president of Girondins Frédéric Longuépée .

Criticized again after the release of a new logo that displeased fans, the management of the club, whose deficit oscillates between 40 and 50 million euros according to the media, was playing big before the DNCG, both its future and his credibility. Initially scheduled for July 7, its audition finally took place this Thursday, with success.
