In a recent video, journalist Romain Molina denounced serious internal dysfunctions within the AS Saint-Étienne. He highlighted an execrable working atmosphere in the offices, marked by significant tensions and organizational problems. Molina also raised suspicions about cases of extortion involving former young players of the club, a persistent rumour in the football community which, he said, unfortunately repeated too often in Saint-Étienne. It expresses its hope that these cases will be dealt with by the courts and regrets the lack of transparency and sports culture within the institution.

The journalist wonders in particular about the persistent situation of Gérard Fernaendez in the training centre, describing this situation as incomprehensible. He insists that the club’s internal problems undermine its ability to achieve its objectives, particularly in the difficult economic context of League 2. Mr Molina strongly criticizes the lack of sporting results despite a significant financial investment, stressing the inadequacy of the club’s resources and its performance in the field.

Despite these criticisms, Romain Molina remains optimistic about the future prospects of AS Saint-Étienne. He recalls that the club is considered a great favourite for the rise in Ligue 1, especially because of the economic weakening of Ligue 2. He concluded by expressing the hope that the club could finally realize its potential and regain the elite of French football, stressing that Saint-Étienne deserves so much better than the current situation.
