Hotdogs, extra onions
As of the 1st of August, Bordeaux were the only club in the top 5 leagues not to have signed any player at all. This has irritated the ever-outspoken Poyet, who has publicly laid the blame for the lack of arrivals on the board through recent press conferences and, more inventively, in his team selections.
Such was Poyet’s desperation for new arrivals that his starting eleven for a Europa League qualifying match, the first leg against Latvian outfit Ventspils, took an unlikely shape. In what seemed to be a message to the management regarding his striking options, the Uruguayan lined up box-to-box midfielder Younousse Sankharé to spearhead the attack, despite having strikers Gaëtan Laborde and Nicolas de Préville on the bench.
While they would go on to win, Poyet’s statement was not well received by Nicolas de Tavernost, president of the French TV channel M6 that owns Bordeaux. Speaking to regional newspaper Sud-Ouest, he lamented that his manager was “risking European qualification over a message”, and that “we can’t let this sort of thing become a regular occurrence […] if he hasn’t got my number, then Stéphane Martin [club president] can give it to him.”
