It is the resumption of training for the Chamois Niortais on Monday. With the start of the preparation of the new season of Ligue 2. Next week, the leaders also plan to receive the partners on the occasion of a party, as is customary. An appointment that is all the more important this year because it comes after nine months in camera.
In this context, this reunion is to be marked with a white stone. The invitation that precedes them as well. The card sent to the sponsors will not fail to make people talk. On the header and in the margin, the leaders evoke a 2021-2025 project. With a very ambitious objective: “boarding for Ligue 1“.
Provocation, clumsiness or real ambition?
“After the catastrophic season in terms of sporting results, and while we should play it low profile given our last-minute rescue in Ligue 2, I find the message average. Either it’s provocation or it’s awkwardness“blurted out a long-time partner on condition of anonymity.
Conversely, others see it as a strong signal and hope for better days: “Why not ? You have to be ambitious and dream. After two very difficult seasons, we must hope for a tomorrow that smiles on us. Even if these slogans must be accompanied by physical evidence and a session of explanations. Is this goal realistic? How to reach it? It’s up to them to tell us“adds another major sponsor, present on the Niort jersey.
“Leaders must move”
A last partner surveyed believes that “leaders have no choice. At the end of a complicated championship, while the club has not been spared on the networks, those who are in charge must move to convince communities, companies, supporters. We are now waiting to find out what is behind it. Or if it’s just a publicity stunt“.
In professional football as in everyday life, “there’s no love. There is only proof of love“. But the sweet ticket sent to the sponsors will have had its small effect. To the point of intoxicating the heads of some? The long-awaited evening in the presence of the partners will show whether it is a simple flirtation or an affair a little more serious.
