The football manager already embroiled in financial problems with Girondins de Bordeaux sees his other club drowning in debt.
Gerard Lopez isn't done with money stories. The Spanish-Luxembourgian businessman is once again at the center of discussions after his club Girondins de Bordeaux was demoted to the national second division. He is now the talk of the town in Portugal as his other club, Boavista FC, collapses under the weight of debt.
Complaints are accumulating over non-payment to the Portuguese club. Boavista is banned from contracts and FIFA has opened an investigation into his debts.
Dismissal of the club president due to harassment of an employee
Reabsorbing these debts should take time, according to information from Portuguese media In Pula. The judicial court in Porto allowed the company that manages Boavista Football Club's stadium to recover the club's transfer money, amounting to about seven million euros. This is an amount that could have helped relieve debt.
