The long-awaited answer came on Tuesday late in the day in a very lengthy press release. Mutique since the announcement by the Disciplinary Committee of the Professional Football League (LFP) on Monday of “loss on penalties” against the Girondins de Bordeaux in the match against Rodez counting the 38th day of Ligue 2, which is synonymous with the retention of Rhodes and relegation Annecy, the Haute-Savoie club finally reacted by strongly contesting this decision.
“Yes, independence of commissions, no injustice! We can read that Annecy cannot be a collateral victim of the Girondins Bordeaux’s shortcomings in terms of security. He also cannot be the victim of a sporting result that is not on the green field, which is clearly contrary to the core values of sports ethics. »
Since the Bordeaux-Rodez stoppage in the 22nd minute after the clash between Ruthenian midfielder Lucas Buades (who had just scored) the Girondins de Bordeaux ultras, Annecy leaders have always pointed the finger at the player’s behavior. President Pierre-Olivier Murat was also attacked. They even state that they intend to “arrest the competent authorities, including the Bordeaux prosecutor” against the manager, the player and the club for “active and passive sports corruption”, ensuring that their claims are “false and incoherent and easy to establish”. “.
At the end of the press release, Annecy offers a solution to this crisis with a move to 21 clubs next season. “In order to finally put an end to this case that is detrimental to French football, and in line with the many reports of support for Annecy FC, we are asking two representatives of Ligue 2 clubs to submit to the LFP Board of Directors the transition to 21 clubs so that we can finally respect the value shared by all, respect for sporting equality. “I’m not sure the LFP will make this decision when four teams have already been promoted to the national league on the evening of the last day of L2 2023-2024 due to the overhaul of the championship.
