The setback once morest the Buffalos was the drop of water too much. In the last quarter of an hour, the T4 launched several songs hostile to Mehdi Bayat. The ironic “Thank you Mehdi” quickly gave way to more insulting chants.
After the final whistle, the supporters remained in the stands, asking Sporting’s managing director to come and explain. In front of him, Pierre-Yves Hendrickx and the head of security of the club, the fans regretted the lack of means and ambitions deployed for the team. “The president (Fabien Debecq) is a straw man. Every year, it’s the same thing. He doesn’t miss much but there is no ambition.”
Mehdi Bayat tried to explain himself but he left under the jeers and the “A Bayat remains a Bayat”.
