Despite the delay in the sale of the club, ASSE is not in danger in the short term and can hold out until the end of the season. given that its accounts are in equilibrium.
Since April, the ASSE is for sale. But while Roland Romeyer and Bernard Caïazzo hoped to find a buyer by the end of the year, it seems increasingly unlikely. And for good reason, KPMG , an audit firm in charge of studying application files, rejected two offers, those of Olivier Markarian and Jean -Michel Roussier . And although a Russian project, carried by Total Sport Investments and billionaire Sergeï Lomakin , as well as a local project initiated by Serge Bueno , boss of Smart Good Things , be in the race, no new offer has been sent.
No risk of bankruptcy
Could this delay have consequences for the future of ASSE whose sporting situation led to the dismissal of Claude Puel ? According to information from RMC Sport, there is no danger. And for good reason, the Forez club is now solid enough to hold out at least until the end of the season, even if there is no sale. There will therefore be no suspension of payment or bankruptcy since the ASSE had successfully passed in front of the DNCG . Therefore, no disaster to predict for the Greens, although the arrival of a new investor would boost Stéphane's finances, especially in view of the winter transfer window.
