Beaten by FC Nantes after a tight barrage until the last second, TFC wonders if ultimately Ligue 1 will not be offered to them in case AS Saint-Etienne or Bordeaux had financial concerns.
In the aftermath of the failure in the race to climb to Ligue 1, Damien Comolli had decided to dismiss Patrice Garande, but the Toulouse president has been rather discreet since. It is true that in the corridors of La Beaujoire, the leader of the TFC had totally tripped against the referee, taking six games of suspension, which is obviously a message encouraging discretion. But according to the specialist site LesViolets.com, if Damien Comolli has still not named Patrice Garande’s successor, it is because he is not completely certain that his club will play in Ligue 2 next season. Because there is a secret hope that Toulouse Football Club will recover a place in L1 if sometimes one or more clubs were relegated by the DNCG.
And the Toulouse team boss would even have two clubs in mind. ” Indeed, professional clubs are currently passing the DNCG and there is little hope. All eyes are on Saint-Étienne and, above all, Bordeaux. If one of the L1 clubs were administratively relegated, the loser of the dam, TFC, would then be promoted. », Explains the Toulouse media. We imagine that on the TFC side we would especially like it to be Bordeaux, eternal rival, which falls to the DNCG, rather than ASSE for which Damien Comolli was sporting director twice before resigning in 2010 to join Liverpool.
