The worst is yet to come for the last seventh of the National championship. This Thursday, the federal commission for the control of clubs of the National Directorate of Management Control (DNCG) effectively announced the administrative demotion of FC Rouen to National 2. A decision “of unprecedented gravity, (which) will inevitably lead to the bankruptcy of the FCR and will mark the beginning of a descent into hell well beyond the National Championship 2” according to Iwan Postel. In a letter sent to the DNCG and revealed by the AFP, the new president of the Normandy club did not hesitate to take the financial policeman of French football in stride.

“I find it incomprehensible and deeply unfair that our case was treated with discriminatory severity,” regrets the man who has been in place since the beginning of June and the purchase of the club by the Turkish businessman Tarkan Ser. However, the latter considered that they had provided a “proposal for immediate and substantial recovery, accompanied by concrete financial contributions.”

The FCR should not appeal

While the last few weeks of competitions were very difficult to manage for Maxime d’Ornano and his group – the latter having to pay for their own travel – FC Rouen still thought they had escaped certain death. The new owners, who revised the budget downwards, dropping it from 4.8 million euros to 3.8 million euros, did not give satisfaction to the DNCG. The Norman club, for its part, has more than two million euros in debt after the departure of Charles Maarek. And the new leaders of the Red Devils seem disappointed, for whom “nothing will probably change” the position of the financial policeman. FC Rouen should therefore not appeal this decision and leave the club in National 2… in the best case scenario. Without the effective takeover of the wealthy Turk, the club founded in 1899 would indeed have to file for bankruptcy and sink into oblivion.

To sum up

The worst is to come for the last seventh in the National championship. This Thursday, the federal club control commission of the National Directorate of Management Control (DNCG) effectively announced the administrative demotion of FC Rouen to National 2.
