Two years after the club severed ties with their president, the two-time French champions went into liquidation and were relegated to the third-tier Championnat Nationale, where they remain today.

Yesterday, a Narbonne judge sentenced Elsom to five years in prison and ordered him to repay €705,000.

Elsom was also accused of having paid €79,000 to a former coach when “nothing could justify it” and of hiring for about €7,200 a month an individual living in Australia who “never came to Narbonne” and “did not perform any service” for the club, lawyer Patrick Tabet said.
