Satisfied? No. Relieved? Yes. This is the tone of the spicy press release published by the Bad Gones this Wednesday evening. During the day, OL had learned its maintenance in Ligue 1 following its hearing on appeal to the DNCG. But it will take more to satisfy Lyon supporters. Like the total eviction of John Textor, who still remains at the head of the club despite the abandonment of his functions as president. “To OL lovers. We write to you following the verdict rendered this afternoon by the DNCG. We are not satisfied but relieved … relieved that this club, which ignited our city and makes France dream in the 2000s, competing with the largest in Europe, while being an example and a model by its professionalism, its management and its training center, can continue to fight in the first division. Relieved, but not satisfied. And we can never be satisfied as long as our club is part of this multi -ownership system. Admittedly, we can recognize that we were too indulgent, at least publicly, because our speech eyes in the eyes with the various officials was unequivocal. We are undergoing your multi -ownership without accepting it, and no, we are not a “family” with your other clubs of which we have absolutely nothing to do with. It is therefore impossible to be satisfied when John Textor, the magouilleur, the thief, the liar, remains a major actor of Eagle, even if he would not be physically present. Impossible to be satisfied when the structure and organization chart of the club remain also vague, with the presence of certain parasites already mentioned previously such as the Florent Deligia case. Impossible to be satisfied as long as we see our club satisfy vultures and other putaclics by making the headlines for economic affairs, questionable management or ubiquitous transfers, and not for its sports performances. »»said the press release.
“Conversely, we see this test as an opportunity to put the club back on good rails. Allowing it to return to the essentials by rebuilding itself around the values that are dear to us and which have forged the success of Olympique Lyonnais: work, reasoned ambition, a lucid project in short-Moyen then long term, stability of actors both on the sportsman and the administrative, a solid and highlighted training, a story and the old valued. And of course, supporters listened to, respected and integrated into the project. We do not question the will of Ms. Kang and Mr. Gerlinger to want to hold the club, but we want to distance our people as long as the people previously cited have a storefront within the latter. To rebuild links and move forward together in the same direction, it will take us time. And that we gain our respect and confidence by the work put in place to find our club and the values set out above. Finally, it is at the staff and the players that we are addressing. We are aware that the coming season, and perhaps the next two or three, could be complicated sportingly. However, be sure of our dedication for the property of the club. We will be behind our coat of arms everywhere in France and Europe. And as for almost 40 years, we will animate the north turn with fervor and passion, for our team and our colors, creating a heavy atmosphere for our opponents. But this will only be possible with players who are hungry. Hunger to want to hand over the club where it must be: at the top of the poster! Hunger to fight and give everything on the field, as we do on a daily basis for our club. With the desire to provide happiness and pride in the Lyon people, to create a real link with the latter. This is the only thing we wonder: be proud to fight for this jersey, for this coat of arms struck with the lion, put your whole heart, you will win ours. We give you an appointment for the first match in Lens and don't forget: Textor outside! Multi -ownership kills football! “ The message has passed.
