PSG: Romain Mabille back as CUP president

2022-04-16T15:18:38.320Z


The former leader of the Parisian ultras, replaced by Nicolas Boffredo after his departure at the end of 2020, will return to the presidency of the Collec


It is a return as sudden as his departure was.

On the eve of the Clasico at the Parc des Princes against OM, which will once again be marked by the strike of encouragement from the Auteuil bend, the Collectif Ultras Paris (CUP) has changed president, or rather it has recovered the old, since Romain Mabille is back, as RMC Sport indicated at the start of the afternoon.

Two years after his departure, he therefore takes over the presidency from Nicolas Boffredo, who was elected at the end of 2020 to replace him.

The bend once again silent this Sunday

A change of presidency, recorded on Wednesday during the meeting of the Collective, which intervenes in an electric context, marked by a challenge of an unprecedented scale from Ultras Parisians since the start of the QSI era.

Since the elimination of PSG in the Champions League against Real Madrid (3-1), the CUP has repeatedly shown its dissatisfaction with the management, through press releases or banners.

During the match after, against Bordeaux (3-0), many banners directed against the Parisian leaders – as well as dozens of rolls of toilet paper – had been blocked at the entrance to the bend.

Since then, the CUP has been leading a strike of encouragement in the Auteuil bend which will indeed be continued this Sunday, against Marseille: “We prefer to punish ourselves for the good of the club in the hope that things will change,

A letter to Nasser Al-Khelaïfi

Respected leader of the CUP from its creation in 2016 until his departure from the presidency in 2020, Mabille was re-elected "unanimously by the groups representing the CUP", he told France Bleu, while The Team spoke this morning of a split within the group.

A split, more precisely the exclusion of several member groups of the Collective, which has been denied to us by several sources.

These supposed frictions between the different groups within the CUP have always existed, but have been highlighted by the current crisis, in particular by the episode of the tags on the Parc des Princes, the Factory and the Camp des Loges, which do not had not been claimed by the Collective.

The management of these cracks will be a burning issue of Mabille's second presidency.

“The goal is to bring everyone together, to represent everyone, to defend the rights and interests of all the people who make up the collective.

The goal is really to bring people together, to have a single voice and to be able to convey the message from the whole gallery, ”he confirmed to France Bleu.

For the rest, this return of Romain Mabille to the presidency of the CUP could go in the direction of an appeasement between the club and the supporters, Mabille having always been considered as a quality interlocutor by the management of Paris Saint-Germain.

Even if, for the moment, it is not won: "Since I took over the presidency, I sent a letter to President Al-Khelaïfi in order to try to renew a dialogue, to try to find solutions, he still confided to France Bleu.

Because we are surprised, since the banners, at the club silence.

No one spoke.

We do not feel a desire from the club to move things forward.
