AS Saint-Étienne are the joint most successful team in French football, tied with PSG on ten Ligue 1 titles.
But in the same season that Paris Saint-Germain won their tenth league title - this season - to draw level with Saint-Etienne, Les Verts were relegated via the play-offs, sparking fan disorder that went viral on social media.
In this documentary, HITC Sevens takes a look at the incredible history of Saint-Etienne, their rise and fall, and how the French giants have ended up getting relegated for the first time in over 20 years.

As a Saint-Étienne fan, all I can say is that no one is willing to work for the badge, play for the badge or defend our honour. From the owners to the coaching board to the players, nobody has had the passion and the willingness to defend the club's honour; the owners just want profit, the coaches and players better opportunities elsewhere. As such none of them pour their heart into the club like the fans do. It's been the case since Galtier's (or Gasset's) departure and Loïc Perrin's retirement. The club will never quite be the same again, but one thing that is for sure is that the passion will never change for the Stéphanois. Allez les Verts from Hong Kong 💚💚

@pierfrancescocosta6336 2 года назад

As someone wrote before me, I think the only, truly positive aspect of going back to the second tier for clubs like Saint-Etienne and Bordeaux is the growing reputation of Ligue 2 itself. Just like Ligue 1, Ligue 2 has become more and more a hotbed of young talent and interesting tactical ideas, so much that it's become a fertile place for investments by clubs from the best European leagues: that could be a vital source of income for these "fallen giants". As an example, Toulouse, who finished at the bottom of Ligue 1 in 2020, during the last summer lost four of their brightest talents to top-tier clubs (Kelvin Amian and Janis Antiste to Spezia, in Serie A; Kouadio Koné to Borussia M'Gladbach and Amine Adli to Bayer Leverkusen, in Bundesliga). Still, thanks the amount of money they could reinvest from these sales and the number of promising players they still held on to, they've just managed to win the league and return to the top-flight. To be honest, both Saint-Etienne and Bordeaux have still some good talents in their hands, and if they can re-discover the magic they once had, I think they can pull a Toulouse and set themselves for stability and success back again quite quickly. If not, they could end up like Hamburg (former German icons) and become stuck in a limbo that might cause even more damage. I believe this risk is still worth-taking, but the question is: are the respective boards really willing to take it?

@bestoflui 2 года назад

Wake up babe, HITC Sevens uploaded a new video

@RaduIosif 2 года назад

Hey Alfie, could you do a vid on FC Dinamo Bucharest, my local team. As 18-time Romanian champions, 13-time Romanian cup winners, and 1st time champions league semi-finalists among Romanian clubs, Dinamo is Romania's 2nd most successful club side, and yet we are suffering an unprecedented plight. we have just suffered the first relegation of our 74-year history. Was wondering if you could take a look into what on earth is going on at Dinamo (with or without the WOEIGO title) Edit: In terms of English football, this is like Arsenal or Liverpool being relegated from the Prem. For Romania, this is hardly a first. It's happened to Universitatea Craiova, a provincial team who now have 2 teams with the same name in the top flight. It's happened to Rapid Bucharest, Romania's 3rd most successful team, who had to restart from the 4th tier, much like Rangers. And there is also a trend of new teams pumping money into the club, winning the league, playing maybe 5 mins of UCL football, and basically going bust within a few years. Oțelul Galați, Unirea Urziceni, and Astra Giurgiu are examples of this over the last 10-15 years. The latter famously got past West Ham in a Europa League qualifier, and now they've suffered back-to-back relegations.

@mihaistan3514 2 года назад

I would also like Alfie to make a video about Dinamo, but I don't think I would be able to watch it. Aside from that 2016-17 season, when there was a small chance for us to win the title, everything has been going wrong for the past 10-15 years.

@youoweme1937 2 года назад

With Dinamo being relegated they lose their titles as well IIRC because Badea had a clause inserted when he sold the club that if Dinamo ever got relegated the trophies would be transferred over to CS FC Dinamo, a team in 4th tier. Dark times..

@RaduIosif Год назад

@@youoweme1937 that's another thing that foreign viewers may be unfamiliar with. In Romania, buying a club does not mean buying the club's trophies and achievements up to that point, they are separate. Same with the club's badge. This is why Nicolae Badea (former owner of Dinamo, who are known as FC Dinamo 1948) now owns ACS FC Dinamo in the 4th tier of Romanian football and claims the club's badge and trophies. FC Dinamo 1948, the real team who got relegated to the second tier for the first time ever, still claim the club's badge and trophy cabinet. This could lead to a lawsuit, which would be difficult for DDB, Dinamo's supporters group, to handle. Over the past few years, DDB memberships and donations have kept the club from going bust in the last few years, going as far as paying players' wages and contributing to the club's transfer budget. A far cry from the days of Badea, specifically from 2007, when FC Dinamo 1948 last won the title and was also generating revenue from UCL and UEL games regularly. Edit: This is another video idea: Romanian sides constantly underperform in Europe and have been doing so for the last 10 years or so. Aside from Steaua's (now known as FCSB) UEL run that ended in a narrow 3-2 aggregate defeat to a Chelsea team featuring the likes of Eden Hazard and Fernando Torres, we haven't had any great European runs recently. As teams keep losing to smaller opponents, Romania's country coefficient also plummets, meaning Romanian teams have to beat even more teams if they want to make it into the group stage of a European tournament (which is almost always the Conference League nowadays)

Should be an interesting club to run with it's major fan base and historic achievements, you would think.

What is going on with 🇹🇷 Bursaspor? Twelve years after their maiden Süper Lig title (2009-2010), Bursaspor was relegated to TFF 2nd League, that said, the third tier of Turkish football. Since I'm not Turkish nor I speak/read that language: What leaded Bursaspor to experience such a slow but steady decline as a club in 12 years? For the record, set aside Trabzonspor with its dominance in Turkish football in the 70s and early 80s plus their recent title, Bursaspor is the other lone club not based in Istanbul which has won the league title in Turkey.

I 100% confirm that the city breaths football. Back in the days, my dad was playing soccer with the teachers at school, if the game was not over, the teachers would insist on finishing the game instead of going back to the classroom to study! The "derby" (Lyon - Saint-Etienne) is (was) always a very exiting event (won't happen any time soon sadly). By the way, the way you pronounce Saint-Etienne is kinda weird and cute at the same time. I just discover your channel, if you like to cover French Ligue 1 club, Olympique Lyonnais is quite an epic one to cover. Or even the "derby" OL-ASSE throughout the years could be a good continuity of that one. Cheers

Today a whole city is sad, because football is the only thing we've got here. We thought we had seen the biggest failure of the club, but it's still happening. Nobody is surprised anymore, yet many of us are crying the death of our club.

Thanks Pierre. I wish, sadly I didn't pay much attention in school, so my French is very bad. Hopefully one day I'll fix that!

Best German players in the premier league of all time. (Day 330) I will not give up until the video is made or Alfie himself tells me to stop. Everyone else telling me that will be ignored. If you don't believe my number, just go back to the previous videos. I'm at the bottom most of the time, but I'm there.

and since this video it's only getting worse, they're about to be relegated in the third division... such a shame for a legendary club like Sainté

Reminds me of Rust Belt cities in the United States and their football teams. Browns, Steelers, Lions, Bills, Colts, Ravens and Green Bay; these cities cling to their teams, for better or worse. I get it. I shall root for them in France.

Saint Etienne is a really good band, you should check out their music 😉

Can you do a video of the top officials who went to the World Cup from the 21st century on, you can’t have a game without Fans, players, & referees !!?

Hoever as "however" got me laughing so hard

Forgot to mention that in that 75/76 final st etienne could have won is the goal posts weree round. platini smacked a free kick from long range and hit the square post right on the corner so bounced out.. might have gone in with round posts..

@Jamie-927 2 года назад

Why would they be round?

@planetjanet3845 2 года назад

@@Jamie-927 they are today, and most of them were back then too, but a few still had square ones and it threw off ASSE

Don't take a drink every time Alfie says St Etienne.

Alfie's pronunciation of 'Geoffroy Guichard' just hits different.

None of the other French teams can compete with PSG'S millions it's that simple really and without major investment in the league it's not going to change any time soon.

@giodhuha6771 2 года назад

Ligue 1 this season is absolute madness. PSG reclaiming the throne; Marseille and Monaco resurgence; surprises like Rennes, Nice, Strasbourg and Nantes finishing top-table places; Lyon and Lille slumps; ultimately the demise of Bordeaux and Saint-Etienne, two traditional clubs. Oh yeah also, violence everywhere.

@LandelRey 2 года назад

To be fair, the previous owner sold Lille and they had to let go of many of their star players. I'm still sad about the mid-table finish, but it could be worse 😓

@asimplenoob6798 2 года назад

Nantes winning the French Cup was also surprising.
