OL has a week to straighten the bar spectacularly financially. Michele Kang is hard at work, with great concerns, however, and not only for the male team.
By dint of going straight into the wall, Olympique Lyonnais finally understood that its current system was not suitable for French football bodies. John Textor ended up resigning from his post and Michele Kang took over into Eagle Football Group. The simple fact of changing the manager does not allow us to elucidate all the problems, and the American business woman will have to get their hands in the pocket and find solid, fast funding and capable of immediately supplying the OL account. 100 million euros are claimed by the DNCG to cover the deficit cash and the expenses to come in League 1. See Michele Kang taking this responsibility could have surprised, because the woman of South Korean origin had for the moment intervened in Lyon for the female team whose orders she had taken.

Precisely, this decision to try to save the male OL boat may be linked to its investments in women's football. Indeed, according to BUT FC, Michele Kang would simply fear that in the event of relegation in Ligue 2, Olympique Lyonnais does not recover and ends in liquidation. Its investments would be engulfed by this sports and financial disaster, but its FFF affiliation number could disappear according to the local media. John Textor has indeed kept 15 % of OL Lyonnes' shares after the acquisition by Kang, and this allows him to assign the affiliation number to the women's team in order to evolve in D1. This would therefore explain one of the reasons why Kang is struggling to save Olympique Lyonnais, and thus avoid a fiasco which would affect all the components of the club.
