Five days after the stoppage of the meeting between Red Star and Sète counting for the 30th day of the National because of numerous jets of smoke bombs launched on the lawn of the Bauer stadium from the Rino Della Negra stand, the latter published a press release this Wednesday morning to affirm once again its opposition to the arrival of 777 Partners, an American investment fund, which should buy the Audonian club in the coming weeks.
“777 Partners, you are not welcome, we are not waiting for your help, we do not need you, explain the representatives of the Rino Della Negra platform.
We will oppose relentlessly and with determination against all your projects aimed at distorting the essence of our club, its history and its uniqueness.
We are convinced that your interest lies elsewhere, strictly economic and financial.
The Red Star is our club, our world.
In our world, there is no place for a conglomeration of football clubs.

The date of this press release is not insignificant since the mayor (PS) of Saint-Ouen, Karim Bouamrane, is due to meet the leaders of the American investment fund on Thursday.
In our columns, the city councilor had affirmed after the stoppage of the meeting against Sète that “the way of the Ultras is reprehensible but their questions are legitimate.
“For their part, the Audonian leaders, who had proposed a meeting with 777 Partners, refused, do not understand the firmness of the Red Star Fans.
“We regret this hostility in principle and we strongly condemn the excesses, insists the director general, Luc Pontiggia.
We had nevertheless taken the trouble to open the door to dialogue with the representatives of the Red Star Bauer collective, but they declined the invitation.
