French Bordeaux having chosen a new ruler. Luxembourg-Spanish businessman Gerard Lopez transferred the club to the British investment fund Sparta Capital for a nominal fee - just one euro.

Negotiations between the parties went smoothly, but the agreement was completed. The new leaders have already created a financial limit to save the upcoming team - 10 million euros have been deposited into the escrow account.

These sums may help Bordeaux to overturn the decision of the National Olympic and Sports Committee of France (CNSOF), which resulted in the club being expelled from all football leagues in the country.

If the appeal is satisfied, the French Football Federation can return Bordeaux to the third division. In such a situation, the club has a unique liquidation and will continue to exist.

Now, with the negative decision of Sparta Capital, there is an opportunity to withdraw its investment, and the threat of liquidation of Bordeaux will again become real.

Bordeaux is one of the top-ranked clubs in France. The team became the champion of the country six times and won the French Cup twice..
