Another rubbish owner.Once again it's the fans who suffer!

I have the feeling there will be many more falling into this trap, this is just the tip of the iceberg.

It's very saddening to see, but I do feel its only going to get worse for some clubs who are struggling.  

[liampie]

i hope they manage to find a way forward but if they become an afc at least they should come back stronger.  

[allardyces tash]

It is a shame. I do hope they manage to fight off bankruptcy.

It just ocurred to me , I didn't know where Sochaux played....A town with a large PSA car factory, close to the Swiss border

[CliftonMagpie]

Sochaux? I’m not sure I’ve heard of them before, but like Southend, I hope they survive.

[Nocturnal-Magpie]

Sochaux used to be bigger than they are now. I hope they manage to survive their financial issues. The French leagues aren’t easy when you don’t have money. It’s much harder to survive or even attract interest.

[AmericanPie]

Good luck to Sochaux. I don’t know anything about them, but it’s not nice to see a club struggling to exist.

[ARLukomski]

Used to be regulars in Ligue 1. I remember when they beat Marseille to win the Coupe De France in 2007. Such a shame. Hope they survive

[Countyman]

I’ve heard that it’s very common for teams at that level not to even pay their players. According to their wiki, they don’t have a very large squad. I do hope they manage to overcome this issue.

[Joshua]

I don’t know much about them either, but hopefully, they can survive as it’s not easy being in this situation.

This is concerning, and I hope the club can secure its future. It would be a shame to see them go the way of so many other clubs.

[BlackandWhitePie]

Oh, I hate reading things like this. I hope they manage to survive. Good luck and best wishes to them.

Its not nice for the fans when theres news like this, they are the ones that will suffer. Hopefully they will be survive and get a new owner that actually cares about the club.

[TheSkipper]

Good luck to Sochaux in their efforts to secure their future and move forward. It seems like a challenging task.

[KingMaynard]

This sucks; I wish Sochaux all the best with their survival.

[NottsLoyal]

I hope Sochaux can survive their financial issues. It is terrible to see so many clubs suffering.

[NottsCountyKev]

Good luck to Sochaux. I’m not sure how severe their financial troubles are or the likelihood of them emerging stronger, but as a community-based sport, I wish them well.

[thommo]

Personally, I hope Sochaux can resolve this issue. I hate seeing football clubs suffer.

[ARLukomski]

Looks like they've been saved thankfully. The grandson of the founder is taking over
