The town hall is monitoring the situation of the Girondins de Bordeaux very closely.Matthieu Hazouard, the Sports Assistant, “talked about it again this Monday morning” with Pierre Hurmic after the club’s new defeat against Montpellier (0-2), which brings it a little closer to Ligue 2. “It’s going badly, it It’s heartbreaking to see what’s going on,” admitted the elected official on the sidelines of the presentation of the new Chartrons skatepark.
According to Matthieu Hazouard, the town hall “will launch a call for mobilization” with former players and other personalities around the club “like last season”:
“I don’t know if there is a lack of love. Me, I can’t resolve it. You have to take a step back and not overreact. I understand the anger of the supporters and we want the players to really show their attachment to the club.”
The chosen one did not want to add more to the incidents that occurred around the match on Sunday.
“No particular concern” about the stadium situation
On the other hand, he wanted to be very clear about the situation of the Matmut Atlantique, the construction of which was financed by a PPP (public-private partnership). As a reminder, in the event of failure of the Girondins de Bordeaux in the payment of the rent of the stadium (3.8 million euros per year) for example during a relegation, it is up to the Metropolis, therefore to the taxpayer, to cushion the shock. But Matthieu Hazouard promises as of today, there will be no “Girondins” tax on the Matmut Atlantique, even in the worst-case scenario.
Who will then plug the hole? For now, we don’t really know. The Sports Assistant simply adds that Bordeaux Métropole “is examining the repercussions and that all the hypotheses are on the table” before concluding that there is “no particular concern” on the subject of the stadium.
