AFPTHE BIGGER PICTURE
Bordeaux, who were once a powerhouse in Ligue 1, filed for bankruptcy in the summer. Their financial troubles came after a failed takeover attempt by Fenway Sports Group (FSG), the owners of Liverpool, which left the club in a dire situation. Placed in financial administration, Bordeaux were forced to release all of their players and rebuild from scratch, making room for new signings like Carroll.
(C)GettyImagesWHAT NEXT FOR CARROLL & BORDEAUX?
With six points from four matches, Bordeaux are slowly finding their rhythm in the Championnat National 2. Carroll’s contributions have been vital, and the team are hopeful that they can build on their newfound momentum when they return to action after the international break. Bordeaux’s next fixture, a clash with Avranches on October 19, will be a chance for the team to continue their upward trajectory.
