The Grands Crus of Bordeaux ready to "help out" the Girondins

The president of the Union des Grands Crus de Bordeaux (UGCB) Ronan Laborde said he was ready on Tuesday to help the Girondins de Bordeaux financially but only in the form of "a breakdown" after François Pinault's call to "Safeguard" the football club of L1 recently released by its American shareholder. "Of course we are not at all insensitive to what is happening today", the Girondins are "part of the heritage of our city and even of our region", affirmed Mr. Laborde during a press conference. . “It's very commendable, well done to François Pinault for making this appeal. It has a very positive connotation, it recalls the great hours. But I'm not sure that we can save the Girondins alone and reposition them as a performing club. We don'tare not romantics, I think you have to be quite pragmatic and be reasonable. " The businessman François Pinault, owner of the Château Latour but also of the Stade Rennais, had called on Monday his “fellow owners of Bordeaux Grands Crus” to come together for a project to take over the Girondins.
