Real life is not Football Manager. It’s not enough to open the door to heaven by qualifying for the Champions League with a small team. Watch Eric Roy perform at the Stade Brestois. The exciting team, who finished third in Ligue 1 last season, may have saved up the €18.3 million associated with C1 qualification, but their daily lives have not been disrupted. There were no star recruits and no sweeping changes to the project.
The beginnings of a new version are taking shape amid the pain of the Championship (two defeats). This is not a national drama, especially against opponents as strong as Marseille and Lens. Then, Eric Roy recalled, “When a new player comes on the scene, there is a new impetus. For now, the launch is still difficult. »
The Brestois Stadium is a victim of its success
Apart from its interlocutors, Club Breton does not change the paradigm. The latter now have higher expectations for SB29 at the bargaining table. Thoughts summarized by Athletic Director Gregory Lorenzi newspaper team : “We are victims of success because we are in the Champions League, but we do not have the means of a Champions League club. » The dream was cursed before it even began.
« “Some players or people around them will tell you: ‘It’s great that you thought of me, but I’m not interested,'” the head coach continued. Some don’t even answer you, or say: “What’s the salary?” This year, we may be able to give 100,000 (euro), but next season, that will no longer be the case. Otherwise, if we continue at this rate, not in three years, but in two years, we will go bankrupt. » »
Amavi, Ayok and Favre are smart reinforcements
Especially since Brest has other issues to resolve. The Breton club have lost all hope of playing C1 at home and have set their sights on the Ruduru stadium, which still needs minor upgrades at the expense of SB29.

There are many factors to explain the cautious transfer window: Jordan Amavi arrived on a free, while Ludovic Ajok and Romain Favre arrived on loan. Better than nothing, but not enough to make both sides useful. Lorenz had only a few days to create a miracle.
