  • In great financial difficulty with a forecast deficit which could reach 80 million euros at the end of the season, the club wants to lower the remuneration of its players.

  • For the moment, no agreement has been found on the side of Haillan.

  • Everything should therefore be settled on a case-by-case basis.

Some will say that it is better to move slowly but surely.

Except that there is a bit of urgency for the Girondins de Bordeaux.

In great difficulty financially with a forecast deficit that could reach 80 million euros at the end of the season and a social plan in progress, the club has still not settled the issue of lower wages. of players, the biggest expense item.

And it could still drag on.

Almost a month after the official request made to the players by the UNFP (National Union of Professional Footballers) to "save professional football", no agreement has been found on the side of Haillan.

And the leaders are walking on eggshells, a sensitive subject obliging them.

When Longuépée slips away ...

First, Frédéric Longuépée (CEO) and Alain Roche (sporting director) received Laurent Koscielny, captain of the Girondins and Paul Baysse, member of the UNFP steering committee.

“We explained the situation to them.

We will go and do it collectively for all the players.

They were also given financial documents, simulation documents also by explaining the situation to them, ”explained the former defender of the Girondins and PSG, ten days ago.

This meeting took place on Tuesday as indicated by

L'Equipe.

Accompanied by his general manager Thomas Jacquemier, the CEO of Marine et Blanc first spoke to talk about the Marseille match last Sunday (0-0) and then "suddenly, he left at the time to talk about lower wages, ”explains one of the participants.

A scene that made some players tilt while others preferred to have fun in a very tense internal context like the recent statements by Yacine Adli.

On the club side, we just say that it was not for him to expose the financial situation of the club.

During this exchange, no common proposal was made to the players.

Everything should therefore be settled on a case-by-case basis at the Girondins de Bordeaux.

But for the moment, the sports management has not set any individual meeting to the surprise of the players and their entourage for some.

She may still be hoping for a collective decision from the players, which would greatly facilitate things.

During this time, the job protection plan has been validated by the administration, and 26 people will be made redundant in the coming weeks within the club.
