With its entry into the elite and the recent buyout of the club by the Arnault and Red Bull family, Paris FC no longer has to worry about the DNCG. But for other clubs, Pierre Ferracci estimates that the next two years promise to be difficult because of the French football crisis.
Unlike many other French clubs, Paris FC is very small to be in the grip of financial difficulties. The fact that the Ile -de -France team now belongs to the Arnault family necessarily helps. However, all residents of the French Ligue 1 and Ligue 2 championships are not housed in the same brand. If for some, the DNCG is only a formality, for others, the sentence could be much more serious. In question, a deep crisis in French football linked to the amount and distribution of TV rights. For Pierre Ferracci, president of the PFC, the difference between modest clubs and others may hurt a lot in the next two years.

« Breakage among the most modest because of reduced TV rights? Yes, the difference will be very sensitive. And for all clubs. We at Paris FC, we have not yet made the calculations. But all the clubs have prepared for this fall. There will necessarily be one or two years difficult. This is why I hope that we will find a better balance in the distribution of TV rights. It is in the interest of all, that it is the clubs of the top of the table like the others, that the championship is attractive. To be attractive, it must be balanced. There is therefore an effort to be made in the distribution. If all the clubs are getting into it and we are doing a substantive job with Nicolas de Tavernost, there is no reason to be too pessimistic. The prices are already attractive. Now it's up to us to make the product interesting by improving it. Clubs have a role to play by opening the doors to the league channel “Said the boss of Paris FC in substance in an interview with the Parisian.
In early July, the DNCG has already made many victims. Jean-Marc Mickeler had warned that there would be administrative demances: we can say that he was right. Olympique Lyonnais was demoted in Ligue 2, Ajaccio in National, Nîmes has disappeared and clubs like Angers, Bastia or Concarneau are now under a very strict control of their expenses by the financial gendarme of French football.
