OL and its supporters are pushing a large relief phew. The DNCG appeal commission decided to “Infinite the administrative demotion in Ligue 2 of the first team at the end of the 2024-2025 season.The Gones are saved but will have to observe a great cure of austerity in the coming months. Their payroll and their transfer allowances are supervised by the body. We will have to present a tight budget for the coming season. On the sporting level, uncertainty is still topical but at least the club does not go down to Ligue 2 and will be able to play the Europa League at the start of the school year. This decision delights Jean-Michel Aulas, the former president of the club who sold John Textor and Eagle Football Group to John Text. Now vice-president of the FFF, on which the DNCG appeal commission depends, the 76-year-old businessman expressed his joy at seeing his club to be maintained.
«I rejoice deeply for Olympique Lyonnais, for its supporters, its employees, for Lyon and for these people who, for decadesvibrates to the rhythm of the club, he wrote on X. This decision is the result of collective commitment, patient and determined mobilization. Michèle Kang has convinced Ares, all partners and all those who love OL support a strong project: to release the club from previous dead ends. For my part, I acted with requirement and loyalty, so that OL surmounts this ordeal without ever betraying its identity. Michèle Kang was able to courageously bring the expected guarantees to preserve the future of the club. It is the union around a shared requirement which made it possible to deeply improve the file presented.Aulas still warns that OL is considerably weakened by its economic setbacks and that the hardest is to come. “”The most difficult remains to be done. A new step opens: that of reconstruction. She will have to build with all local partners, with supporters, this large OL family. The club must now find on the ground what it has saved on the institutional level. This involves rigorous management, a controlled payroll, and respect for an economic balance that meets the ambitions of a large club. I will remain fully committed, alongside Michèle Kang and all those who believe in the strength of the Lyon ambition.»
