Amiens SC have gone to Paris FC with a bid, and the supporters have gone to the internet with an opinion about it. Whether either changes anything is up to the selling club.

Amiens SC close the window on a squad of their own making
26 in and 6 out, and no more changes for months. The manager has what he has, the supporters have their opinion of it, and the table will have the last word.
Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Enguerrand Bouard is 20, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.
“I have tried. I have really tried, and every day I wake up in the wrong place.” Nobody at Amiens SC can coach that out of a man, and nobody there is pretending to.
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Amiens SC this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.
Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. US Boulogne have kept their man, and Amiens SC go back to a list with one name crossed off it.
He is 19, and nobody at Amiens SC signed him for this season. Deals like this are judged in four years, by people who may not still be in the building.
“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Amiens SC can pretend not to have heard.
1 for Giovanni Haag, marked 7.77, and a centre-half's name in the part of the report he normally only reaches by mistake. He will not be allowed to forget it in the dressing room for a month.
$490.0K on the table at Stade Brestois. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.
The offer went to SC Bastia this week and it is theirs to answer. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loud the door closes.
It happens to all of them and it is still the hardest paragraph a local paper has to write. 36 years old, 3 points down on where he was, and a body that has started charging interest on a career.
A point taken on 89 minutes is worth exactly one point and considerably more than that to a dressing room. This side does not stop, which is a reputation worth more than the result.
Yoan Koré and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.
The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.
Nobody at Amiens SC will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.
Nothing in writing and nothing in public: a word about playing time, given face to face at Amiens SC. The team sheets over the next month will show whether it was worth having.
Adama Sarr and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.
Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Victor Lobry falls out with a teammate over standards
The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.
“We were not good enough today and I am not going to dress it up.” Christophe Pierre after 0‑1, in the tone of a man who knows the next question and does not intend to answer it.
The manager wanted a different profile for this opponent, which is a real football reason and no consolation. He did nothing wrong and he did not play.
