That's sad, they were a big club in France too at one point. Can't imagine how devastated their fans must be.
Bordeaux is a beautiful place to go as well in the south of France, such a shame
It could conceivably happen to LOTS of clubs. I have been surprised that no Spanish clubs have gone this route yet, but it could be coming.Is this kind of thing going to occur to more big clubs in light of Ligue 1 struggling to find a buyer for their Ligue 1 and 2 TV rights?
This is why they are going bankrupt. You kids with your pop music and your English wine.will have a glass of red for them. english of course. none of that bordeaux muck.
Football is so awash with money but the pyramid is so top heavy. Some financial mismanagement going on but it’s also a damming indictment of the current football financial structure. Too big and historic of a club to end up like this.
22k attendance on average that suddenly don’t have a club
Very sad
They do have a club and they will have the same stadium.
Yep.Well it's England heavy really.
Any club in the top 10 of the Premier League could buy a player for the amount that would save Bordeaux if they really wanted too. To be honest most could do so then never even start them and just think of it as an annoying thing to be bantered by other clubs fans for.
They’ve gone to semi pro status and already closed the training facility I’m not sure how long they can maintain a stadium
FFP wouldn’t stop this. You could go into unrecoverable debt from infrastructure costs and other things and stil technically meet FFP on paper. FFP was never designed to “save” clubs. They called it an “anti money doping” provision when it first came out… then later changed the stated goal when it became obvious that its purpose was to prevent specific teams from spending as much on players as they were.And the Premier League has clubs filing lawsuits against FFP ....

A team like City could go out and spend a cool billion on cryo machines and stuff tomorrow… wouldn’t affect their PSR one iota.
Conversely, teams like Bourdeux could accrue administrative and infrastructure debt that becomes too much to overcome without it ever triggering an alarm.
BUT: Bourdeux is a rightfully revered name in French football. If the wonderful PSR didn’t exist to shackle someone from immediately investing in bringing the team back … someone like FSG would have bought them, and they would be on their way back.
Yes, the 2022-23 season. Had just gone down the year before. Finished third, 3 points behind Metz in 2nd. Had it in our (I’m going to speak in the first person here because feck it the club doesn’t even exist professionally anymore) hands but lost 1-0 away to awful Annecy despite dominating on the penultimate match of the season, then had our last game against also shite Rodez called off at 1-0 down because of some really idiotic crowd trouble. Even a draw against Annecy would have meant a win would have sent us up against Rodez but the loss meant we needed to win by 4 or 5 goals I think.That's sad. Such a shame, didn't they just miss coming back up too?

That's a massive shame. Scorers of maybe the sexiest goal of all time.
Always thought their kits with the dark blue and white chevron were cool as feck as well.
Please don't forget Alain Giresse!That’s very sad.
Zidane, Gourcuff, Lizarazu, Dugarry, Ramé, Tigana, Micoud… so many wonderful players have played for them.
Perhaps @Paul the Wolf or @JPRouve can correct me but if memory serves correct the move to the Mediapro tv deal a few years ago and its subsequent collapse was a horrific blow to Bordeaux: the DAZN reduced offer for this coming season is worrying for a number of clubs I imagine.
Of course Lopez should never be allowed into a football stadium again never mind own a club
Will they make some kind of restart in the lowest league? This is what happened to some clubs in NL who went bankrupt, like RBC Roosendaal.. Im far from a financial expert, so no crue under what circumstances such a thing is possible and whether the French financial/football structure allows it at all..
That date says 2022. You should probably read fully when posting from these type of accounts.

The threat of relegation has been around for a couple of years. The tweet is still valid.
Back in 2018, Malcom was one of the hottest prospects on the market after a successful season at Bordeaux.
Everything indicated that the Brazilian would join AS Roma after the Italians agreed on a deal with his club. However, Barcelona intervened as Malcom was about to board his plane to Italy and brought him to Camp Nou instead in a move worth €41m plus add-ons.

Maybe they should have not backed down from an agreed deal with Roma when Barca offered more at the last minute.
That’s completely irrelevant.Maybe they should have not backed down from an agreed deal with Roma when Barca offered more at the last minute.
Does anyone know if Barca failed to pay them or if this simply the agreed upon payment structure? Maybe the last payment was always going to be in 2025?Maybe, but I guess you have to trust one of the biggest clubs in the world to pay what they owe them.

I feel like within two years we would have heard something regarding legal issues if it hasn't been paid by now or why it hasn't.
