RC Strasbourg will generate "30 million euros in less revenue" this season, announced its president Marc Keller in Latest News from Alsace.
In this long interview, the leader is quite transparent about the accounts of the Alsatian club.
"We had drawn up a budget on the basis of a fifteenth place, of around 60 million in revenues, 60 in expenses, without the sale of players [...] The Covid will cost us around ten million and the failure of Mediapro, between 18 and 20 ", he detailed, before explaining that Racing would touch its own funds (" 15 or 16 million ") to pass the storm.
A drop in players' salaries
Another measure found, the reduction of player salaries.
“The vast majority of them have accepted a drop in their wages of 15 to 20% over six months,” the leader told France 3 Grand Est.
Among them, Adrien Thomasson explained to
L'Equipe
that the negotiations had been conducted by mutual agreement.
“Depending on the contract of each player, the efforts were not going to be the same, which is totally logical… For example, we have players at the end of the lease in June and it is more difficult to accept to make the effort when you are in this situation.
