“The LNV cannot remain silent when one of its clubs is on the sidelines of the most basic rules in terms of social law in particular”, also declared its president Yves Bouget.

“This letter puts the players in front of a fait accompli.

Out of 18 games played, we cannot lose eight.

And if we continue like this, we cannot be the only ones to suffer the economic consequences, ”defends Agostino Pesce, whose team is currently fourth in League A.
