AS Saint-Etienne enjoyed their first Ligue 1 success of the season this weekend against Clermont. But the Saint-Etienne club are not yet out of the woods.
The seasons follow one another and are similar for AS Saint-Etienne in Ligue 1. Once again, the Forez club are lagging behind in the standings. While Claude Puel’s men sank again against Clermont this weekend in Ligue 1, they will have managed a comeback full of courage against the Auvergnats. A success that allows AS Saint-Etienne to leave the last place in Ligue 1. But very quickly, information other than sports caught up with the club. It was learned that ASSE had filed a complaint against Cambodian Prince Norodom Ravichak, who allegedly transmitted a false document during his attempt to buy the club. Information which caused a stir but which did not really surprise Manu Lonjon, who suspected the intentions of those who gave credit to Norodom Ravichak.
Manu Lonjon was not fooled by the takeover of AS Saint-Etienne
On his account Twitter, the consultant reacted to reports in the press about the sale of ASSE. “The Cambodian buyer… if you are curious and have time, reread the articles. Who ? Who said what? And you will know where it came from. You will notice that those who gave credit to this scammer smashed other projects. Have a good investigation ”, said Manu Lonjon, not surprised therefore that the attempt to buy Norodom Ravichak is a scam. Note that for his part, Romain Molina has added a layer through a rather ambiguous tweet: “The Cambodian Ajroudi, as announced From living on social assistance in Créteil to false bank guarantee of 100 million euros”. Not enough therefore necessarily to put a smile on the faces of fans from Saint-Etienne who have decidedly had to take their troubles patiently for many months.
