Information:

FC Girondins de Bordeaux is a French football team, playing in the city of Bordeaux.
The club was founded in 1881 as an omnisport club. The Girondins won the French league in 1950, 1984, 1985, 1987, and 1999. The club plays the home-matches in the Stade Chaban Delmas, named after the former mayor of Bordeaux, Jacques Chaban-Delmas. Parc Lescure was the previous name of the stadium. The club has often qualified for European football.

Their biggest European triumph was reaching the UEFA Cup final in 1996. After qualifying for the Intertoto Cup, the Girondins won that competition to get a place in the UEFA Cup. They reached the final after victories over Vardar Skopje, Rotor Volgograd, Real Betis, a heroic quarter final win over AC Milan, and a semi-final win over Slavia Prague. In the UEFA Cup final, Bayern Munich prevented the Bordelais winning their first European Cup after a 5-1 defeat on aggregate.

Came back after some long break

So I started the season, I bought :

- Martin Kamburov from Al-Ahli for 1.7M£
- Mattia Notari from Mantova for 150k £

Notari is an awesome CB ! Really good playing.
After 8 games in season I'm 3rd. Lyon on the top with 100% wins x_x. I'm 6 wins 1 draw 1 lost, Lost the game to Lyon :/.

In Champions League I'm doing really well I'm in group with:
Barcelona,Roma & Salzburg

Won the first game with Salzburg 2-1, And won with Roma 2-0

Maybe someone will start to play as Bordeaux.

I should have just looked at the thread. What about wages, at the start how much is free from the £274k per week budget?
