Rugby: what is a club really worth?

Negotiations over the sale of Biarritz Olympique raise the question of the club’s true value? Vincent Chodel, founder of the Sports Business Observatory, sheds light on this topic

Louis-Vincent Gave has not yet sold Biarritz Olympique, a sine qua non to allow his trusted man Jean-Baptiste Aldigé to invest “in the house”, in Lot-et-Garonne. Responsible for selling the soundtrack, the latter did not receive an offer from Romain Détré, whom he met on March 17 in Bordeaux, and from his financial backers. However, the contacts are not broken. According to our information, Limougeaud has commissioned a Parisian law firm specializing in business law – Paul Zitoun Attorneys & Partners – to audit the operations office based on the documents transmitted through the “data room” that secures the exchanges. To make a formal offer? And if so, in what time frame? “It’s not a months-long process,” we slip in the footnote of potential buyers.

BO’s first professional contracts

On the vendors side, we suspect the file has been finalized. Jean-Baptiste Aldije has taken a look at the upcoming season of Biarritz Olympique, which hasn’t been a major concern lately. The club should go from 10 to 6 million euros into the budget. Foreign internationals will leave the club in June, such as Argentine Thomas Copley, New Zealander Elliot Dixon and Australians Henry Speight and Joe Toman.

The boss went in search of the right prop and scrum half. In addition to Copelli, Barnaby Quelod is nearing the end of his contract and will not be retained. He also offered first professional contracts to Baptiste Erdocio, Thomas Hébert, Kerman Aurrekoetxea (born in 2000) and Auguste Cadot (2001). The chairman had until April 15 to trigger the compensation associated with the prospective contract. They now have until May 30 to appoint themselves. They either sign with BO, or pay a training allowance to get involved elsewhere. In the same situation, hooker Clément Renaud and prop Luka Azariashvili have yet to receive an offer. Season 3 verses^H A versatile line (also played on the wing), Timo Mathieu and winger Baptiste Variscot will sign their first contracts. Still under contract, the versatile Joe Jonas (22) attracts envy, especially Stade Toulouse who dreams of making him a World Cup joker. Aldigé is not said to accept. And no potential buyer.

Arosteguy declines to comment

Asked by “Sud Ouest” about a possible meeting with Romain Détré, on a family visit to Biarritz last weekend in March, Mayor Maider Arosteguy indicated that she did not want to communicate with the assurance that she had met the three potential buyers in 2022. Of club. Namely, a trio of Irish businessmen, a group of Limogodes and a third “French”, without further details. I don’t know more. I concluded that my course of action was not to comment.
