French club Bordeaux sold to USA hedge fund

Author: Agencies

PARIS: French club Girondins de Bordeaux have been sold by the media company M6 Metropole Television to Los Angeles-based hedge fund General American Capital Partners (GACP), the French firm said on Tuesday. “M6 Group has today finalised the sale of the Football Club Girondins de Bordeaux to the USA investment fund General American Capital Partners (GACP) for 100 million euros (87.18 million pounds),” M6 said in a statement announcing their results for the first nine months of 2018. M6 bought the French club in 1999 and hoped to bring back the glory days of the 1980s when Girondins won three league titles and two French Cups with players such as Alain Giresse, Jean Tigana and Marius Tresor. Under M6, however, they won one league title, in 2009, and one French cup, in 2013. “A page turns for M6, a new one opens for the FCGB,” M6 president Nicolas de Tavernost said on twitter. “I wish great success to the new management team and thank all the Girondins for these 19 years. I will remain a fervent supporter of @girondins.”
