After the demotion of the Girondins de Bordeaux to National 1, several former personalities of the Aquitaine club expressed their sadness and their anger.

The sadness is palpable. Since the confirmation on Tuesday of the demotion of the Girondins de Bordeaux to National 1 by the National Management Control Department (DNCG), the supporters have been in shock and many leading figures from Bordeaux have deplored the situation of the Aquitaine club. Among them, Christophe Dugarry is particularly upset.
In the columns of Sud Ouest, the former Girondin striker (1988-1996 then 2000-2002) denounces the passivity of certain people, in particular Alain Jupp. The 1998 world champion believes that the former mayor of Bordeaux should have vetoed when M6 sold the club in 2018 to an American investment fund.
The clown by GACP
From the start, we knew that the dice were loaded. An investment fund that buys out by borrowing from another investment fund with an outside company (GACP, editor’s note) that manages the club. From the start it stank. M6 and Nicolas de Tavernost wanted to leave the club and Alain Jupp did not veto this sale. It should have been locked differently. The first scandal, it’s there and it still pisses me off fulminates the former columnist of RMC.
In fact, it was cooked from the moment M6 sold out to the clowns of GACP, he continued. I stopped at school in 4th grade but from the start, we understood that the editing was wobbly. He now hopes that the club will be able to recover: We will start from National. It happened to others. It’s not impossible to go up. But it will be necessary to put back the human. Do not reproduce the same errors.
It’s the complete nant
Still in the regional daily, Alain Giresse explains that he is like a zombie since Wednesday. Where are we going now? How sad. I would never have imagined that the club could come to this. (…) It’s weird. I have trouble realizing granted by the former Girondins player (1970-1986). At the same time, there is a form of logic when you see how this club has been managed in recent years he concedes, considering that the americans have do anything and ransack the club .
We had a somewhat special, somewhat rare color, remembers Giresse. We were the club of the region. Everyone joined. Everything has broken down. There is nothing, nothing more. It’s complete nonsense. This nant heart Elie Baup, former coach of Bordeaux (1997-2003) and champion of France in 1999: I don’t understand how there wasn’t a greater concern: we let it go during this long descent into hell. Since the sale of M6, since the departure of Jean-Louis Triaud, we have never understood what the sporting project was. We see where we are. There is a part of heart. A feeling shared by lovers of the Girondins for 24 hours…
