The threats from the DNCG ended up bearing fruit for OL. Four days before his appearance before the Federation appeals committee to contest the ban on recruitment and the control of the payroll pronounced last November 15 by the DNCG, the president of OL John Textor seems determined to show its credentials to an authority which has not stopped asking for months for guarantees of financial stability.

A DNCG listening to the American whimsy?
Indeed, according to The Teamthe boss of Eagle would have entered into exclusive negotiations with a group of Saudi investors, ready to put in the 180 million euros requested by Textor to sell its shares in the English pudding. If the process should logically take a little time, such negotiations not being done with a simple snap of the fingers, and the Lyon club will not receive the entire sum in its coffers, these measures are still as much pledges of good faith given by the OL sheriff to the DNCG.
There is little chance that this will lift the threat of a demotion to Ligue 2 before the end of May, but perhaps it will agree to be lenient by lightly reviewing the control of the wage bill and the transfer ban pronounced recently. Enough to give the Lyon board a little breathing room, while, on the field, despite a difficult and narrow victory against Montpellier, Pierre Sage’s gang, which remains on three victories in five championship matches, is only five points away. of OM, runner-up to PSG.
