The president of UBB, opposed to Stade Toulousain tonight in the semi-final of the Top 14, confided in Le Figaro.
For which the town hall of Bordeaux does not seem very warm…
If that does not unlock, I do not hide from you that I will not understand. When you find solutions that do not call for public money, when you yourself apply to management with a good father, when I have passionately put a lot of money from my pocket into this club, when we show so much goodwill and rather tell you no ... But the Mayor has not completely closed the door. We launched a petition three days ago which has already exceeded 7,000 signatures, which is a lot. When she's gone up some more, I'll put the file on her desk. If not, it will have consequences for UBB in the medium term ...
Consequences on your engagement?
I don't want to present it like this: “
if they don't tell me yes, I'm going
”, that makes a spoiled child.
So I am not saying it.
And I don't think so.
But it would be hard to live with… There is a recurring debt at UBB.
I manage to assume it, I can afford it.
But adding debt to this debt would not be bearable.
I would have to say that I have to give up or downsize.
But if it is to bring in an investment fund like the Girondins (
the football club, Editor's note
)… I say to the mayor “
do not provoke by your decision that it could happen to the UBB…
”.
