The club which will start on August 22 its 2nd season in Ligue 2 can rejoice: the DNCG, the financial gendarme of the League, has validated its accounts and


“Lack of measurement. The three words fell on Chambly's mailbox this Tuesday early in the afternoon. Only three words, but enough to make the club happy. Heard by the DNCG the same morning at 9:30 am and for one hour, Fulvio Luzi, the president of Chambly, Thierry Bertrand, the general manager, and Victor Craighero, the auditor, received the green light from the financial gendarme of the Professional League Football (LFP). The body validated the accounts and accepted the club's budget which will begin on August 22nd its second season in Ligue 2. Last year, when it was however promoted and neo pro moreover, the club founded in 1989 had already seen its budget validated without framing the payroll. Close-up on the dossier defended this morning by the Camblysians before the DNCG of the League.

A budget of € 7.25 million for the professional sector. Fulvio Luzi, Thierry Bertrand and Victor Craighero presented this Tuesday morning before the DNCG a global budget for the club (SAS FC Chambly Oise and Association combined) of 7.85 M €. Once the € 600,000 allocated to the Association has been withdrawn, Chambly has a budget of € 7.25 million for its professional sector, an increase of 11.53%. "We will always be on the lowest budgets," says Thierry Bertrand. Last year, for Chambly's historic debut in the pro world thirty years after the club was created, the FCCO was the smallest budget in Ligue 2 (€ 6.5 million) tied with Rodez, also promoted. Of this € 7.25 million budget, Chambly will devote some € 3 million to its payroll (i.e. + 15% of payroll compared to € 2.6 million last season). If the 2020-2021 budget is up compared to the previous season, it is however less than what the club with 12 climbs in 30 years predicted a fortnight ago. In its first version, Chambly was counting on a budget of € 7.5 million for the SAS. A downward gap which is mainly due to TV rights. "Nothing has been signed yet, there are different scenarios," explains Thierry Bertrand. We were asked to take the lowest scenario, which is not illogical. Chambly thus left on "a big 4.6 M € in TV rights", according to the general manager of the club.

The new Chambly stadium effect. Last season, Chambly had to play fifteen of its home games at the Pierre-Brisson stadium in Beauvais and four in Charléty (Paris XIII) since its Marais stadium was not up to Ligue 2 standards. With the coronavirus health crisis , the promoted has certainly played the four meetings planned at Charléty but he only played eleven (including one behind closed doors, against Le Mans on March 6) at Beauvais. For each of these matches with the public in Brisson, Chambly had to pay € 25,000. The delivery of the new Marais stadium at the end of 2020 and its planned use from January 2021 should change the situation for the FCCO. The Camblysiens will only play the first leg of the next season at Pierre-Brisson, probably 8 or 9 games, each meeting being this time billed € 20,000. Upon arrival, a real savings for Chambly which affects the 2020-2021 budget.

Nikola Petkovic, the shock asset ... and chic. Chambly struck hard during the summer transfer window by hiring the services of Nikola Petkovic, top scorer in Serbian D1 in 2019-2020. Not content to count on him to boost his attacking sector, Chambly also relies on the 23-year-old forward to seduce well beyond the green rectangle. In the dossier it submitted to the DNCG, the club indeed anticipates an increase in… sponsors. "We are counting on the Petkovic effect," says Thierry Bertrand. When we say "a club, a family, an ambition", the word ambition takes on its full value. We don't play the climb, of course, but we have ambition. We will really try to have a good, quiet season. To be the right troublemaker. Petkovic can also help us with sponsors! Already, he can not make it flee ... But we think he can only bring us. "

3000 spectators expected on average. Chambly attracted an average of just over 3,000 spectators to each of its Beauvais games last season. The club has remained within these values ​​with regard to its projections for 2020-2021. “We are counting on 3,000 spectators on average over the season, says Thierry Bertrand. The problem this year is that we lose Lens (Editor's note: promoted to L1)… ”The Lensois, whom Chambly did not receive in Brisson due to the coronavirus crisis, could they be compensated by the derby with the relegated of L1 Amiens SC? To have. “We played Amiens in National, says Thierry Bertrand. We never had a big crowd against them. The only way to make one against them is if we receive them in Beauvais (note: quick access by highway). Everything will depend on the calendar… ”An average of three thousand spectators who will have a bigger impact in terms of refreshment takings when the new Marais stadium is in operation. "We will do more refreshments in Chambly because there is no offer around the stadium", unlike Beauvais, says Thierry Bertrand.
