All OL is breathing … for the moment. The Rhone club avoided the worst today after its passage before the DNCG appeal commission. After the hearing spent in the morning, the body decided to “Infinite the administrative demotion in Ligue 2 of the first team at the end of the 2024-2025 season.In other words, the Gones are saved. They remain in Ligue 1 but will have to start a drastic austerity cure. They have certainly escaped relegation but they see their mass and their recruitment be supervised for the coming season.
In other words, you have to get rid of big wages to make an acceptable salary grid, even though Alexandre Lacazette, Nicolás Tagliafico or Anthony Lopes have already left at the end of their contract, and that Maxence Caqueret and Rayan Cherki were sold for 15 and 42.5 M € with bonus. There is a real sporting risk to play the bottom of the table in Ligue 1 from the next school year, even if Michael Gerlinger, the brand new director general of the club wanted to look good at a press conference.
OL will target Europe …
«Commercial success depends on sporting success. You have to win, you need the sporting requirement. Our goal remains Europe, we want to play in European competitionsassures the German leader just hours after the rescue in extremis of OL. We will find the means to fight, like last season. We want to redo this battle for Europe next season.This season, the Gones will play the Europa League but will have to be satisfied with lower economic benefits that hoped for the fine inflicted by UEFA.
«UEFA applies a fixed sanction, for us it is € 12.5 million. It is deduced from the premiums paid by UEFA“, Continues Gerlinger, who promises a transfer window with a minimum of means in order to strengthen the team, and compete in European places as he announced a few moments earlier. “”There are transfers of players in the budget, like every year in all clubs. We slightly adapted the sports plan in the budget that we submitted on June 24 (during the first pass in front of the DNCG, editor's note).The mission promises to be delicate in this economic slump.
… With which players?
«It is not an austerity plan, it is a financial discipline plantries to minimize the former leader of Bayern Munich. The decision of the appeal committee confirms that we will play in Ligue 1 with the budgetary plan that we have submitted. We will analyze with the sports team the impact of the budget that we have submitted to the appeal committee.To strengthen, OL can perhaps count on its cousins of the Eagle Football galaxy or on “friends” clubs. “”On Nottingham, there are some transfers envisaged.In both directions since Malick Fofana is close to the English club, as we have relations.
