Very disappointing results, confirmed departure of executives at the end of the season (Arthur Iturria, Damian Penaud…), resignation of rear coach Xavier Sadourny… 11th in the Top 14, ASM is going through a period of crisis at all levels, which caused a break with some of his fans, who are nevertheless reputed to be among the best in France.

Sunday, Clermont sank at home against his old rival Stade Toulousain (13-32), who had not won at Marcel-Michelin for twenty years.

This umpteenth disappointment has caused "the outpouring of hatred and insults from a very small minority of people whom we will never recognize as supporters", wrote the club on Thursday.

A call to sacred union

In a press release published on its site, the ASM wanted to condemn "insults and threats from the stands [exceeding the usual framework of social networks where they have become customary if not ordinary] far exceeding what we can accept ".



Speaking to his fans, the 2010 and 2017 French champion says he is ready to "hear your reproaches, your disappointment, your anger and even your whistles".

But he also calls for not going beyond “the safeguard of respect” and for a sacred union: “in these complicated times to go through for the whole club, we are convinced that solidarity and support are our best allies.
