This is called an emotional lift. FC Grenoble, resident of Pro D2, was seeking a place in the Top 14 again this weekend but was defeated by Perpignan (19-33). And this Tuesday, the club was even relegated administratively to National by the “Regulation” formation of the French Rugby Disciplinary Council, “on the observation of the forecast negative restated net situation as of June 30, 2023 and the level of budgetary uncertainties 2023-2024 not covered”.
The punishment does not end there. The control authorities also withdraw four points from the FCG for next season, in addition to the two points suspended since December 1, 2022. That is a total of six points less for the 2023-2024 season.
The Regulatory Authority (A2R) has been closely following for several months the management of the deficit of the team playing at the Stade des Alpes. Three points had already been removed from the Pro D2 ranking at the end of 2022.
In a press release, Grenoble announced its intention to appeal "to prove (its) good faith and (its) desire to fulfill all the guarantees requested in order to ensure the FCG the future it deserves within French rugby" .
"Our club is experiencing financial difficulties (...) New shareholders have recently entered the capital of the SPP holding company, which holds the majority of the club with the desire to give it a new economic dynamic", underlines Grenoble.
"The club's leaders wish to reassure all partners, subscribers and supporters as to the investment of its shareholders who will provide all the guarantees allowing our club to continue next season in Pro D2", he assures in his communicated.
The Isère club, which left the elite four years ago, finished the regular season in second place behind Oyonnax, promoted to the Top 14 next season after winning the Pro D2 final (14-3) against its Alpine neighbours.
