OL has decided to use its demotion in L2 pronounced Tuesday by the DNCG. He must find € 70 million for the gendarme of French football allowing him to stay in L1 …
A violent earthquake fell on OL Tuesday evening with the announcement of its administrative demotion in Ligue 2.. A camouflet by John Textor, pushed towards the exit by the supporters, and which could be dismissed from the next passage of the club on appeal. The team unveiled the challenges of this return to the DNCG.
Prud'homme en Sauveur?
According to the media, OL must provide an additional 70 million euros as guarantees. A crucial mission for Ares Management, the fund which had helped Textor to buy the club two and a half years ago. The team also reveals that Tuesday, in its hearing, the famous sale of the shares of Crystal Palace, estimated at 210 million euros, will have been useless, or almost, since 170M € were used to reimburse the wages of the American fund. There are only 40 million euros that will finish in the OL boxes next September, once the Premier League has validated the sales process. Too late, therefore, for the sale of the shares of Crystal Palace to be taken into account by the DNCG, while Textor had put him a lot when entrusting his great confidence on the verdict on Tuesday evening … The American would feel the wind turning and would think about getting back in order to try to save the club. Michele Kang, Mikael Gerlinger or Laurent Prud'homme, who left OL, could take on the role and try to save the club in front of the DNCG. A hell of a challenge!
