Historic clubs and their biggest recent falls from grace 😬
Poor management doesn't forgive... It's official, Boavista, a Portuguese first division club and 2001 champion, has been relegated to the amateur level (5th division)! A huge and violent fall for the club and its supporters, echoing that of Bordeaux last year, which went from Ligue 1 to N2. Advertisement Both teams are owned by... the inevitable Gérard Lopez, who risks gaining even more detractors, reinforcing his reputation as a club killer. Several other clubs have experienced similar big falls recently, for different reasons, although poor management is a common denominator. Here's a selection of these recent big failures: Sunderland (England, Premier League) One of the most well-known examples, which you may have discovered through the Netflix series. A mythical Premier League club, Sunderland experienced relegations and found itself stuck in the 3rd division in 2019. This season, with Régis Le Bris at the helm, the club validated its return to the PL and regained its rightful place. Nottingham Forest (England, Premier League) Double winner of the Champions League in 1979 and 1980, and English champion in 1978, the club experienced difficulties in the following decades, until it landed in League One (3rd division) in 2005, becoming the first club in C1 history to fall so low. Since then, it has been playing a leading role in the elite again. Malaga (Spain, Liga Adelante) Bought by a wealthy owner in the early 2010s, the Spanish club experienced a golden period, culminating in a Champions League quarterfinal in 2013. Then the owner cut off the money tap, left, and the club plummeted to the 3rd division, 10 years later. Today, it is navigating the 2nd division again. Palerme (Italy, Serie B) A historic Serie A club, Palerme also experienced financial problems, leading to a demotion to Serie D in 2019! Since then, the former club of Pastore has risen back to Serie B. Bastia (France, L2) Last in L1 in 2017 and bankrupt, the Corsican club lost its professional status and was relegated to N3 by the DNCG. Like Strasbourg, with great popular fervor, Bastia rebuilt itself and has been playing a leading role in L2 in recent seasons. Nîmes (France, N2) Unlike the other clubs on this list, Nîmes is still in a downward phase. Having gone from L1 to N2 in four years, Nîmes did not experience the most direct downfall, but perhaps the worst. The Gard club paid for its president's folkloric management, illustrated by the stadium's problems (no hot water, etc.) and its eventual abandonment. A very sad evolution. Some stories can give hope to these clubs still at the bottom. Do you have other similar downfalls in mind?

US defender Reggie Cannon wins court case over unpaid wages from Boavista
American defender Reggie Cannon has won his appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (Cas), which overturned a decision by Fifa's Dispute Resolution Chamber and will result in the player being owed about 400,000 euros ($468,000) from Portuguese soccer club Boavista. The court said Wednesday it had overturned Fifa's decision on 3 July. 'At the end of the day, who knows if I'll see that money, considering the club,' Cannon said Thursday during a telephone interview with The Associated Press. 'Hopefully, I do up end up getting paid. A lot of things in Fifa just require patience.' Cas said the parties, which include English club Queens Park Rangers, have a period of time to request the text of the decision remain confidential and that if they do not it will be published. 'I feel completely vindicated as well as QPR,' he said. 'I've had to stay silent about this for a long time. To finally have a decision and now being allowed to speak about it just feels so invigorating. I'm so happy.' Now 27 and a member of Major League Soccer's Colorado Rapids, Cannon transferred from Dallas to Boavista in September 2020 and agreed to a five-year contract with annual salaries ranging from 175,000 euros (then $207,000) for 2020-21 to 550,000 euros for 2024-25 (currently $645,000). Cannon filed several notices of default in 2021 and 2023. Portugal's arbitration commission in July 2023 decided he had the right to terminate the contract. He terminated the agreement in June 2023, citing unpaid wages, and signed a four-year contract with QPR that September for salaries ranging from 180,000 pounds (then $220,000) for 2023-24 to 725,000 pounds (currently $685,000) for 2026-27. Boavista claimed breach of contract and told QPR in December 2023 it was owed 2,107,425 euros (then $2.27m). The Portuguese club filed a complaint with Fifa and Cannon filed a counterclaim. A three-person Fifa Dispute Resolution Chamber panel of Frans de Weger, Mario Flores Chemor and Roy Vermeer ruled in June 2024 that Cannon was owed 88,000 euros (then $94,000) by Boavista plus interest and that QPR owed Boavista 1,287,000 euros (then $1.37m). Sign up to Soccer with Jonathan Wilson Jonathan Wilson brings expert analysis on the biggest stories from European soccer after newsletter promotion Cas said it annulled the decision, except for a small portion detailing the case history. 'It's taken up so many days,' Cannon said. 'The amount of legal stuff that I had to read up on, the amount of calls with the lawyers, the travel to Switzerland, which I did for the actual case. It feels like it just took up so much of my mental space, so much of my time, so much of my energy. Ultimately, this is why I feel such a weight of relief.' QPR spokesperson Paul Morrissey said the club declined comment, and Fifa and Boavista did not respond to requests from the AP for comment.
