Players in tears, fans angry as Girondins de Bordeaux face liquidation threat after Paris court ruling | OneFootball

Girondins de Bordeaux’s future darkened after a critical ruling in Paris, intensifying the threat of judicial liquidation and leaving players in tears and supporters angry.

According to L'Équipe, the decision arrived minutes before a friendly against neighbours Stade Bordelais, with the Paris administrative court rejecting Bordeaux’s application for a suspension order. The ruling keeps in place the club’s exclusion from national competitions, confirmed on appeal on 15 July.

At 18:50 at Le Haillan, the players were completing their warm-up when Steve Shamal emerged from the dressing room and told team-mates it was over.

The verdict landed just before kick-off and deepened the sense of crisis around the training base.

Bordeaux now face an increasingly precarious outlook, with the risk of judicial liquidation growing.
