AS Saint-Etienne had to fight to stay in Ligue 1 last season. On top of that, the health crisis has not helped the club’s finances.
AS Saint-Etienne fans hope for the next few months to be easier. The last few seasons have been trying in Ligue 1. Claude Puel’s men have nevertheless ended up doing the work to stay in the top flight. But the Forez club is still more or less in doubt. It is difficult to know if the club will be bought and if Claude Puel will remain at the head of AS Saint-Etienne. In any case, these last hours, the Greens passed in front of the DNCG to validate their accounts. And surprise, the club has passed between the drops. What to take away Bernard Lions.
“Hats off. But then, where is the wall? ”
On his account Twitter, the journalist indeed commented on the news with a certain sarcasm. “So, thanks to all the money earned under the Gasset-Wantier era, ASSEofficiel was able to present balanced accounts to the DNCG at the end of a season without much revenue. Hats off. But then, where is the wall? ”, said Bernard Lions, curious to know how AS Saint-Etienne fared. Note that a few weeks ago, the Greens managed to sell players like Wesley Fofana, Franck Honorat and Makhtar Gueye. Maybe it played out despite the losses.
