Two weeks after the Greens’ first victory in the 2021-2022 financial year, new posters and banners appeared in town and at the Geoffroy-Guichard stadium. All over town, residents of Stéphane can read “Puel, casse-toi”, “Direction démission”, or “We want a team worthy of its audience”.
The resignation of the two club presidents is called for. Claude Puel is also still pushed towards the exit by the supporters. Far from satisfying the supporters of the Greens, this last victory still seemed to be a deliverance within the club.
“We want a team worthy of its audience”
A few hours before the closed-door confrontation against the Clermont club, a demonstration was organized by four groups of Saint-Etienne supporters (Magic Fans 91, Independantistes Stéphanois, Unions des Supporters Stéphanois, Green Angels) between the Zénith and the Stade Geoffroy-Guichard. The Magic Fans and the Green Angels then took the floor, expressing doubts about the financial and sporting management of the club: “Today, AS Saint-Étienne is doing badly. We are at the gates of Ligue 2, the evil is deep. “
Straightening the bar in Troyes, enough?
This Sunday, AS Saint-Étienne moves to the field of the promoted Trojan, a club remaining with a heavy defeat 4-0 at Lens. Amputated by several players, the Stéphanois will necessarily aim to win and avoid another setback.
However, among the supporters, it is no longer a question of waiting. “This situation cannot go on any longer, the whole club is responsible, from the players to the management. It has been fifteen years since nothing has changed and there has been a situation of interference. “
More than sports results, supporters, ultras or not, want to have guarantees concerning the good form of the club and this therefore requires the resignation of the leading heads.
Among the solutions proposed for “the world after”, the association Les Socios Verts wants to implement the socio model, a system derived from the Spanish model. They will still have a few weeks before making their voices heard and returning to the spans of the Geoffroy-Guichard stadium.
