In addition to the DNCG, OL's accounts are closely monitored by the UEFA club financial control body.
Eight days after the DNCG's massive blow, Olympique Lyonnais supporters took a second blow this Saturday. L'Equipe informs us that the club financial control body, an organ of UEFA, has opened proceedings against the Rhone club. It is specified that this procedure was opened before the DNCG sanctions but also before Eagle Group revealed its accounts, which were largely in deficit.
Lyon leaders serene
UEFA did not want to comment on the Lyon file, it simply said that it “closely follows the financial development of the clubs as part of its monitoring”. The aim is to judge the viability of the projects of each club owner. In any case, Lyon's leaders seem calm, as evidenced by this statement from OL's general director, Laurent Prud'homme: “We are collaborating with UEFA services as part of an audit procedure.”
