In this correspondence, the management of OGC Nice notably states its intention to put Franck Giudicelli “out of harm’s way,” suspecting him of attempting to “destabilize” the club following his complaint of “fraud and breach of trust” concerning the allegedly dubious transfers of former striker Moussilou and midfielder Ederson.
Describing these allegations as very serious, Franck Giudicelli reserves the right to file a complaint for “public insult” against those who have tarnished his image and physical and moral integrity. Moreover, the shareholder is surprised that the OGC Nice management could spread such a climate of distrust and suspicion at a time when the club is playing for its future among the elite.
It is also surprising to note that the club’s website, which includes a press review page, does not mention the articles about the legal action initiated by Franck Giudicelli.
Furthermore, the shareholder reminds his detractors that he played a major role as a mediator and unifier in facilitating the signing of the agreement between the management and the association last January. Additionally, Franck Giudicelli clarifies that the complaint against person(s) unknown for “fraud” and “breach of trust” is part of an approach to transparency and clarity in the sole interest of OGC Nice, regretting at the same time that it is necessary to resort to bailiffs to obtain accounting documents and to conduct an audit on club management, which will start not without difficulty on May 14.
Indeed, the leaders have requested that the conclusions of the auditors’ report remain confidential and that no copy be given to Franck Giudicelli even though he financed this analysis out of his own funds.
Finally, the shareholder of the Gym is pleased that the Regional Chamber of Accounts is also currently conducting an audit on the management of the training center, which benefits from the most significant subsidies from public authorities in France.
Through all his actions, Franck Giudicelli, vice-president in charge of sports, confirms his deep attachment to the club as well as to its supporters, while nurturing great ambitions for the future of OGC Nice in French football.
