This Thursday, France's historic over 100-year-old club Bordeaux informed the FFF (French Football Federation) of its decision to renounce its status as a professional club, even before its final fate was known.
For many years, Bordeaux fans have been used to receiving constant blows. But this Thursday will be even more damaging, as in a letter to the French Football Federation, the club's leaders have simply given up their professional status.
87 years of history extinguished in a few moments
The club with the second most number of games played in the First Division in the history of French football, Bordeaux had this status since 1937. Almost a hundred years later, a real earthquake hit the Girondins.
By now they were relegated to National 1, a division where this status can be maintained for two years for a club that previously owned it. This is especially the case for Sosho, or the teams relegated from League 2 last May. But given the unstable financial situation, the Zhirondins decided to give up.

Consequence: the automatic termination of all players' contracts and the closure of the training center.

As a result, all professional contracts of the club, whether players or staff members, are terminated. This means several million in payroll costs will be saved. But it also means that the training center will lose its function.
Thus, all the youth of the training center will be able to leave the club freely, without taking anything. Therefore, costs have been drastically reduced, but more than a rubble field remains.
Therefore, the club in the coming days must undergo an additional reduction to Nationale 2. But without having the full guarantee not to sink lower. With Gérard López still in charge, the Girondins supporters now have only one wish: the departure of the Franco-Luxembourg businessman.
