Since the announcement of the DNCG's decision, the president of the Professional Football League, Vincent Labrune, has been absent.
Thunderclap, Friday, late in the day. L'Olympic lyonnais is prohibited from recruiting this winter and demoted as a precautionary measure at the end of the season by the National Directorate of Management Control. The Lyon staff therefore failed to convince the financial policeman of French football. Actually, even if John Weaver displayed a certain optimism at the end of his hearing, the DNCG's decision was already made and even known.
Some L1 clubs already knew of the DNCG decision
Indeed, as surprising as it may be, at midday, certain elite clubs were already aware of the DNCG's decision according to several consistent sources. Another element that may be of concern: the president of the Professional Football League (LFP) Vincent Labrune didn't bother to get news from OL. Neither Friday nor this Saturday.
Caillot and al-Khelaïfi have OL in their sights
Since John's position Weaver and its CEO Laurent Prud'homme on the subject of television rights, OL is clearly in the sights of some Ligue 1 presidents. Like Jean-Pierre Clot (Reims and LFP L1 college) and Nasser al-Khelaïfi (PSG) who no longer hold back in private to criticize the Lyon club.
