OL must find a colossal sum to pass the DNCG!

The soap opera may well end next week. More than a week ago, Olympique Lyonnais was demoted in Ligue 2 by the DNCG due to major economic problems. However, his cleavage president John Textor was more than confident and kept explaining that OL was going very well financially and that it was not necessary to worry. But the reality struck the Rhone club with full force and so it was necessary to react quickly. OL quickly announced its desire to appeal this decision.

And for this call to pass, it was necessary to put the odds on its side. In this sense, John Textor was dismissed from his role as club president and distanced himself from OL. Ares Management, the investment fund behind a loan to buy the club, validated the new proposal with the duo Michele Kang and Michael Gerlinger to lead the new OL. On the other hand, there remained, beyond the settings in the organization chart, focus on the nucleus of the problem: the club's financial concerns. Except that Lyon left the press leaking in the press that he still did not know the reasons for the DNCG's decision.

OL is fixed

This Wednesday evening, the team gives us some revelations about the situation. Since Monday, OL is now aware of what it will have to do to pass the DNCG and therefore stay in Ligue 1. to validate its maintenance, Lyon must find at least 70 million euros. It will therefore be necessary to provide funds from several shareholders and money must be placed on a single account. Michele Kang will therefore have to convince his partners to get his hands in the pocket. And it won't be that simple.

OL will be fixed on its fate next week and in any case, if the situation does not evolve before July 14, the club will be automatically dismissed from the Europa League according to the UEFA regulation. At the level of the sportsman, this situation obviously blocks any initiative on the transfer window, both in the direction of arrivals and departures. And it starts to tense the entourage of certain players internally. OL must be on all fronts and hopes to manage this crisis as well as possible. It remains to be seen where the club will play next season. Ligue 1 or Ligue 2, supporters will soon be fixed.
