After wishing the misfortune of Sochaux to have a chance to stay in Ligue 2, Annecy now becomes its first supporter. Collateral victim of the stoppage of the match between Bordeaux and Rodez on the last day of L2, the Haut-Savoyard club, 17th and first relegated, obviously hoped that its Sochaux counterpart, in great financial difficulty, would be rejected by the DNCG and demoted to National 1 to have a chance of being drafted. His wishes were granted with the relegation of Sochaux pronounced by the financial policeman of French football, in the first instance, on June 28, then confirmed, on July 11 on appeal.
