As Hugh Quennec tells 24 Heures, six potential buyers have expressed interest in obtaining the shares Quennec holds of Lausanne HC: four Swiss (two Vaudois) and two out of North America.

"We are currently finalising the framework on which negotiations will be built, so that they are aware of the context", says the president of Genève-Servette HC. He adds that he will do his best to sell his shares until February 17, but wants to make sure that the next owner is reliable and knows what he is getting into.

As for the six million injection Lausanne HC needs for their infrastructure, Quennec now sees the necessity of it and it is "also the number one condition that is attached to potential buyers." However, he is not ready to reveal for how much he will sell his shares, nor is he ready to say that he will give up all of his shares, as he wants to wait until the league has settled the new regulations. If the new owner wants him to stay on board and if "the league allows it", he is ready to stay as a minority shareholder though. (mso)
