Move around, there's nothing to see!
Good news for two clubs which are experiencing very different struggles this season: RC Lens (7e) and FC Nantes (17e) emerged unscathed from their passage in front of the National Directorate of Management Control (DNCG) this Tuesday. No restrictions, no sanctions, just a “ it's okay, move on » for the Blood and Gold as for the Canaries according to The Team. Enough to breathe a little… but not too much.
Lens: accounts in order despite a summer of flops
In Lens, we can finally release the pressure. After a summer transfer window where the hoped-for sales of Kevin Danso and Neil El-Aynaoui never came to fruition, RC Lens was in a cold sweat at the idea of passing in front of the financial policeman of French football. But with a well-prepared speech, the sale of Wahi for 25 million to OM and a positive balance of almost 20 million euros, the Artesian leaders escaped without blocked arteries. With a payroll that exploded last season and an XXL squad (29 professional players under contract, nonetheless, to be top 6 in Ligue 1 in squad size), the club is thinking of parting ways with its favorite Uzbek, Abdukodir Khusanov.
Nantes: Kita issues receipts
Among the Canaries, the atmosphere was even more tense before the hearing. Subject to supervision of its payroll since last June, FC Nantes had an interest in showing its credentials. Result: no measure, no sanction, and above all, the end of this supervision. A small feat for Waldemar Kita, used to being more criticized than congratulated. « We worked hard »we assure internally. Understand: “We let some hefty salaries slip away, and we are preparing a wave of departures for this summer, when several big contracts will come to an end. » All this to prevent the DNCG from coming back to knock on the door.
So yes, everything is fine in front of the DNCG. But as the Voice would say: “That's all for now.” »
