Yesterday, Olympique Lyonnais obtained its maintenance in Ligue 1 after a sound hearing before the DNCG appeal commission. A relief for the whole club, but also for Ligue 1. This Thursday, Vincent Labrune, the president of the LFP, delivered his impressions after this news. His remarks are relayed by RMC Sport.“We are obviously happy and delighted that a football institution like Olympique Lyonnais is present in Ligue 1. We are happy for us, the League, we are especially happy for the territory, for Lyon, its inhabitants, the supporters.”
He then added: “That said, it is a complex situation and there is no right pass. It is not because your name is Lyon that you are going to be treated differently than the US Orleans which is in National. There were strict rules decreed this season by the DNCG. The rule was simple: to start the season, it was necessary to ensure in cash the full operation of the season. All clubs have executed. Moreover, there were more than half a billion euros which was reinjected into the clubs by the shareholders this summer, which is much higher than the drop in rights. I think there was undoubtedly a form of misunderstanding between John Textor and his teams and the DNCG initially on the operation. But the new OL leaders have taken their responsibilities, we are delighted. ” The boss of the LFP is therefore delighted for OL.
