This Friday, OL went before the FFF appeals committee. Unfortunately, the elements presented did not change things. The club is still prohibited from recruiting and with payroll supervision, as indicated by the DNCG in November.

They didn’t necessarily expect much, but there was still hope that things would evolve in the right direction. This Friday morning, the leaders of OL, John Weaver in the lead, were received by the appeal commission of the FFF following the club’s appeal against the DNCG sanctions. The file presented by the Rhone club made it possible to provide new financial elements such as progress on the IPO or the sale of shares in Weaver has Crystal Palace. However, nothing new came from this meeting. This Friday afternoon, the commission rendered its decision and as could be expected, it upheld the decisions of the DNCG last November.

A file to consolidate between now and the end of the season

The ban on recruitment this winter as well as a control of the payroll remain in force between Rhône and Saône. In this day which accelerated in the direction of departures with the Maxence files He would lie downagree to join Como, and Adryelsonon the way to Anderlecht, OL did not experience satisfaction at all levels. The time has now come to consolidate the file in view of the next deadline at the end of the season. As for reinforcements in January, it will therefore be necessary to use the loan as in the Thiago Almada case. As for the precautionary relegation to Ligue 2, it was not within the scope of this appeal and was therefore not judged by the commission.
