Look at the man's posturing, doesn't he look like the Godfather of FFR. Even Marlon Brando would be proud of that pose...

And now he is blaming soccer for rugby's woes. This is the next FFR president. AU SECOURS :o

I tell you les Bleus are in serious **** with this man at the helm.....

C lui qui est grave
 
lol lmaaooo it's hilarious how this isn't even far-fetched, he LITERALLY could NOT look anymore Corleonistic !!! He's the poet kind, have you heard him when they asked him what his role for France was ?? "because Rugby is more than a sport, it is a brotherhood blah blah blah...and the life experiences with the teammates, that's what it really is all about". I feel he thinks the French people is more stupid than it really is.

And yes if things continue this way, we're fkd for sure...but then again all it takes is a spark or decent change in the coaching staff.
 
As far as the 2016 final goes it can not be played in Paris as the Euro footie is on, and ask Montpellier foot how they found our pitch the other week, not great for footie!!!!!!!! personally i think the idea is superb, rugby in France has always had a massive following in the South West, which is only 2/3 hrs drive to Barca, great weekend out for me, a 4/5 hr drive nothing!!!! La Rochelle last weekend 7hrs!!!! and whats more if full and there is no reason why not, it will be a new World record for club match attendance 98,000. If the FFR and LNR had spent a little less money on their banquets, fine wine, and expenses, the National rugby Stadium would already be constructed and the problem would not exist!!!!!!!!!!!! so Mon Blanco a little reality svp or wil be be joining the pleureuses already present.
Stade Francais, Montpellier, La Rochelle, Lyon, soon Racing Metro all have new or improved stadiums yet we are still waiting for the National one, they gave Marcoussis a massive new face look!!!!!!!!! money well spent when you are thinking of moving somewhere else!!!!!!!!!, finacially probably not the best choice, but that would mean planning and forward thinking, and that my friends rarely comes into the Agenda of these infamous controlling establishments, unless its for their own better good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
I agree. The idea of moving the game to Barcelona is great. Biarritz have played some of their european games in the Spanish basque country before. Why does Blanco go public in the media and attack the game of football over this when we have far more serious issues to deal with? :huh:

They will fill the stadium with French supporters alone. Barcelona is only a spit away. All the Basque and Catalans will flock there. I'll go if I can get tickets.

What the media are really quiet about in this country is the MASSIVE AMOUNT OF MONEY FFR ARE SQUANDERING on hairbrained projects like the revamping of Marcroupis, and now their 600 M euro stadium that this country does NOT need.

There is absolutely nothing in today's Top 14 money that comes anywhere close to 600 M euros. This is more than DOUBLE the entire budget of ALL Top 14 clubs combined for one season. Insanity.

There is a bad case of double standard as well. Pro clubs cannot go into debt. They have to balance their book to the PENNY or face annihilation. Yet FFR can happily borrow 300 M for their new stadium. How is that possible for an amateur sports federation to rack up that amount of debt?!

Maybe the self-righteous socialists can explain that one to me...

Top 14 money is chicken feed compared with the money FFR are currently spending on projects that go absolutely nowhere towards developping the game. They are not investing a dime into the game of 7 for instance. ZIP. I have asked many FFR officials about it and they are are CLUELESS :eek:

This is what's wrong in French rugby. Not the Top 14, with or without the foreigners, not Boudjellal.
