If the club AS Saint-Etienne is indeed on sale, the date of July 1, recently mentioned by Roland Romeyer, would not be the right one for the announcement of the buyout process.
After a fairly delicate season, during which Sainté will end up in the soft underbelly of Ligue 1, the two presidents in place clearly want to hand over. This is particularly the case of Roland Romeyer, who wishes to retire in the very near future. For this, he therefore wants to sell his shares next summer. ” My departure ? It will happen and it is normal. On July 1, there will be something new. Afterwards, I tell you right away: I will keep shares until I die. It’s part of my DNA ”, said the chairman of the board of ASSE on Thursday. In the wake of this statement, RMC raised a potential sale to a South Asian pension fund by June 30.
“The sale of ASSE, there is very little chance that it will materialize by the end of June”
False information, according to GOAL. According to the outlet, Romeyer actually got it wrong when he talked about the July 1 sale, when he instead wanted to talk about his departure from the club. “The Chairman of the Management Board had rather in mind his handover to Jean-François Soucasse. Appointed general manager of services in January, replacing Xavier Thuilot, Soucasse should be appointed deputy chairman this summer and the formalization would be scheduled for July 1. As for the sale of ASSE, there is very little chance that it will materialize by the end of June, and even by the end of summer… ”, can we read on the specialized site, which therefore believes that Sainté will relaunch a new season with the same investors, and therefore with Claude Puel on his bench.
