Just around the corner from me…

Same!

Now official.

Bordeaux, one of France's biggest clubs, who were recently relegated for administrative reasons, lost their appeal and will move to Semi Professional status.

Championship National awaits.

Blimey.

Cliche, I know, but I really feel for their fans. I can still remember them being a Champions League club with the likes of Chamakh and Pauleta.

Don't know the full details, but they got taken over by a Spanish fella, appointed Riera, hut feels like the fella never had the money.

Weirdly, they've went bang because Liverpools owners couldn't strike a deal to buy them.

Sad when sides fall on harder times.

They'll join a host of other former Ligue 1 sides in the 3rd tier

Had we got 777; it would have been us.

That much I'm certain of. We'd have been league one/two before we knew it

and fall down into the abyss!

and fall down into the abyss!

Certainly mate.

English Leagues got far more structure, so we'd still be professional, but Bordeaux will be playing National League quality sides noe.

Crazy. Quicker the financial bubble bursts in football, the better.
