It is a real ax that fell on many clubs Thursday and Sunday with the decisions of the FFF. Some people experience it very badly. This is the case of the National 3 club of Feignies Aulnoye. We got the mail addressed to the president of the FFF Noël Le Graët by the president of the club, Jacques Menoulez.
A descent for 0.02
The club finished in second place in its N3 group, just two points behind the leader. Worse, the club’s U19 should go down for 0.02 of an unfavorable quotient, says the president. He condemns the decisions of the FFF which make human, material and financial investments go up in smoke.
President for 23 years, he will resign
The situation and the investment required finish convincing the president of the club for 23 years, he intends to resign.
Call for help and set aside
He ends by concluding with a call for help “I am asking you today to help us but also to help ALL the clubs in our territory who, like us, see their investment go up in smoke … By opting for the cancellation of all your decisions and for a white season“
Feignies Aulnoye’s letter to President Le Graët
Monsieur Le Graët,
We have just taken note of the decisions of the French Football Federation that you represent. These decisions will have serious consequences for our club. They appear as a sanction.
Indeed for a club like ours, without any pretension, a sports season represents an investmenthugely huge. Whether humanly, materially or financially, we must, each season, invest as much as possible to make our club sustainable.
You are aware that this season we have one team in the national U17 and another in the national U19. This allows us to have a certain notoriety but also to proudly represent the colors of our HAUTS-DE-FRANCE league. This being to reach this level, we put a lot of sacrifices but above all … time!
At the start of the 2019-2020 season, we wanted to add a National 2 team.
It turns out today that the decisions of the FFF do not achieve our objectives. Worse since they throw all of our investments from several seasons into the water.
Our national U19s are likely to descend to the next floor when it was in a favorable position for maintenance.
How are we going to explain to our young people that they are relegated because our quotient is 0.02 points lower compared to other clubs playing in other pools of its championship, not having the same number of games played and more decisions that go against the original rules we had presented to our players?
Worse still, how can you tell a club that they have been penalized for playing one less game away from home due to a chance on the calendar?
Our first team, it pointed the tip of their nose in second place of National 3, only two short lengths from the leader (we were leaders at the break).
I will not be able to afford, next season and those to come, to invest as I did at the start of our project with the idea of recovering what we will lose. That’s why today I plan to resign from my club where I’ve been president for 23 seasons.
I am asking you today to help us but also to help ALL the clubs in our territory who, like us, see their investment go up in smoke …
In opting for the cancellation of all your decisions and for a white season.
Jacques MENISSEZ
President of the Entente Feignies Aulnoye Football Club
