The Sco of Angers got, on may the 31th, from the city what it was looking for, a 500 000 € loan, repayable within two years. Members of the opposition voted themselves in favor of the loan but criticized the behaviour of town hall toward the club.
"You promised to implement a financial monitoring in order to inform the local authority but you did nothing about that", Roselyne Bienvenu, opposition councellor told to the mayor Jean-Claude Antonini. "We demand a close monitoring for next year", she said.
"We have the promise of the chairman of the Sco, Willy Bernard, that the amount will be refunded and moreover, savings will be realized next season", answered Michel Houdbine, deputy mayor in charge of sports, himself supported by Jean-Luc Rotureau, his predecessor : "The taxpayer will not foot the bill".
The 500 000 € loan is part of an annual grant and will be substracted from the amount for 2011 (about 1.2 million € for the entire Sco, professionnel and amateur sections). The Sco would nnow be able to present its financial datas to the french federation of soccer.
