Camara Has Regrets About Switch

Last updated : 02 March 2004 By Kevin Markey

The 24-year-old French defender joined on loan in the summer and admitted the depressing state of affairs has dragged him down.

'Financially and sports-wise the club is at the bottom of the abyss,' Camara told French daily L'Equipe.

'This is the first time in my career that I have experienced such a situation, and if I knew I would not have come here. This is depressing because the club has enormous potential.

'At the start we would find out about the club's situation via the press, no-one would tell us what was happening.

'But since we accepted to reduce our salaries by 25% the managers tell us more.

'Since the arrival of the new coach (Eddie Gray) the French players don't play any more.

'As far as I am concerned I feel I am not in his favour either. At least we get paid regularly and I am in good health.'
