Present at a press conference on the occasion of the presentation of Pascal Dupraz, Jean-François Soucasse took the opportunity to be reassured about the situation of ASSE .
The ASSE sale processhas been running for many months, but as of yet, it still hasn't come to fruition. Shareholders rejected offers from Olivier Markarian and Jean-Michel Roussier , but other more ambitious projects now appear to be in the running, such as those of the Russian billionaire Sergeï Lomakin as well as that of the president of Smart Good Things , Serge Bueno . While waiting for this series to end, the ASSE tries to stay in Ligue 1 and straighten the bar from a sporting point of view. With this in mind, Pascal Dupraz replaced Claude Puel , as revealed exclusively by le10sport.com. During the presentation of the new coach of the Greens, Jean-François Soucasse , executive president, referred to the soap opera of the sale of the club, ensuring that the ASSE would survive even without new buyer.
“The club has room for maneuver”
“Selling is a subject that only concerns shareholders. My role is to protect employees and players by contributing to rumors. We are working on several scenarios and we must not wait to be saved by a possible buyer. The situation was anticipated, there will be no need for a financial loan. The club has done substantive work which allows ASSE to pass the DNCG twice without constraint. The club has room for maneuver. Budgets are earmarked and allocated, ”he told the media.
