Olympique Lyonnais is going through a historic crisis. Driven in Ligue 2 by the DNCG, the Rhone club quickly announced its desire to appeal this decision. Yes but here, after the departure of John Textor and the arrival of the duo Michele Kang-Michael Gerlinger, OL will now have to present a viable plan to the financial control body of the clubs which sits at the FFF. The stake? Save your place in the elite of French football.
This Thursday, The team said, as such, that the Lyonnais file will be studied on July 10. A decisive day for the future of one of the biggest French clubs. And the concern is in order … If the French daily said, a few hours ago, that OL had to find at least 70 million euros to have success, the amount to pass the stage of the call commission of the financial gendarme is ultimately much more important.
Michele Kang at the controls
As revealed by The teamLyon will finally have to immediately inject more than 100 million euros into its accounts and guarantee, at the same time, at least an additional 100 million euros for the rest of the season. If this second sum should not be immediately injected into the accounts, a firm and irrevocable commitment must however take place.
Appointed president, Michele Kang – who “Will play an active role in supporting the executive management of Olympique Lyonnais, in particular by directing the club's appeal procedure with the National Management Control Directorate” – is therefore at the controls of this burning file with Michael Gerlinger. Under pressure, the businesswoman, greatly invested in women's football, must therefore provide solid responses to the DNCG, in less than a week. The countdown is launched.
