RIP Girondins de Bordeaux

[Milkman]

What the hell happened here? Sad news.

Girondins de Bordeaux. Le club va abandonner son statut professionnel, les joueurs seront libérés et le centre de formation fermé

Avant même de savoir dans quelle division le club évoluera la saison prochaine, les Girondins ont fait savoir à la FFF qu’ils renonçaient à leur statut professionnel, acquis en 1937

They're still around, just not professional for the time being

Yeah, they've not gone bust.

Just in the 3rd Tier. It's a weird social media thing spreading fake news.

Owner simply is a 777 kind, can't keep payments going.

The new stadium has been a bit of a financial millstone apparently as well.
Ligue 2 can be a difficult league to get out of, some decent teams and tricky away days. They overspent it seems.
