It's a disastrous result for the only European league which, coincidentally, has with the exception of La Liga, is partially owned by the CVC fund. This stake is also the subject of an investigation for alleged corruption in France.launched Pérez during the General Assembly of his club.
Several Ligue 1 teams have suffered the full brunt of this fall in the value of TV rights. Teams like RC Lens, Olympique Lyonnais or Montpellier HSC for example now need to sell urgently to balance their accounts.
The transfer window was also very calm in France in general since many teams could not afford to invest. DAZN picked up the jackpot for less than expected but subscriptions did not follow. The catastrophe feared beforehand and confirmed by Pérez seems to have occurred.
