FC Sochaux-Montbéliard were France's first professional football club, founding members of Ligue 1, and the only team to win multiple Ligue 1 titles before WWII.
Sochaux were founded and funded for almost 90 years by Peugeot, until the company sold the club to a little-known Chinese business in 2015.
Now the club has been relegated from Ligue 2 for the first time, and is facing the very real possibility of extinction - so in this documentary, HITC Sevens takes a look at how Peugeot discarded FC Sochaux, the club's plight ever since, and the extraordinary recklessness with which they have been run.
