As there are ten days before the match against Monaco, Benoit Costil spoke to the press after the new heavy defeat of the Girondins in Lorient on Sunday.

No player had come after the last two losses.

After reviewing the performance of his team, he reacted to the withdrawal of King Street, the American investment fund owner of the club: “It is difficult to measure the impact of the announcement.

I expected a lot of things except this.

These are never trivial and easy going situations.

There had already been many questions, but, there, obviously that does not help.

»Before continuing, without tongue in cheek as usual:

“I don't know these people, I've never seen them, I've never spoken to them.

I think they had their asses full of it and left.

After that, I don't know all the ins and outs.

"

Benoit Costil is surely referring to the catastrophic financial situation of the club but also to the conflict which has been opposing management for many months to the Ultramarines, the largest group of Bordeaux supporters.

The international goalkeeper admits in passing that the announcement of this decision, "disturbs and worries" a group already in great difficulty on the ground with a series of 11 defeats in 13 Ligue 1 games and a 16th place in the standings with five points. 'advance on the red zone.

representative

(Frédéric Abitbol) is now helping the Girondins to try to back on track.

As a first step, he will have to renegotiate the debts of the club before setting up a sales process.

In this slump, the DNCG assured that “King Street had issued a letter of comfort for the benefit of the Girondins de Bordeaux, which guarantees the cash deadlines allowing to end the season.
