Banned from recruiting and demoted as a precautionary measure at the end of the season, OL is currently limited in its winter action. The club has chosen to contest these sanctions and will be heard next Friday.
For a few days now, the winter transfer window has opened its doors andOL largely occupies French news. It must be said that with the sanctions handed down by the DNCG a month ago, the Lyon club was not going to be inactive. At least in the direction of exits. Not necessarily convinced by John's plan Weaverthe financial policeman of French football had sanctioned OL with a recruitment ban and, above all, with a precautionary relegation to Ligue 2 at the end of the season.
The club therefore had to show its credentials to avoid such a disaster scenario and this therefore involves a reduction in the salary lifestyle and a downsizing of Pierre's workforce. Sage. After five days of opening, Anthony Lopes, Jeffinho a poison Orban have left the banks of the Rhône and the Saône, but this is still insufficient. OL do not despair of selling certain “undesirables” between now and January 31, but part of their short-term future will be decided in the coming days.
The club wants to provide answers to the DNCG's questions
As reported The Teamthe Rhone management chose to appeal these sanctions, after finally receiving notification of these decisions only a few weeks ago. It is therefore next Friday January 10 that John Textor and Laurent Prud'hommein particular, will appear before the appeal commission of the FFF to assert their rights and hope to see the sanctions lifted or at least reduced.
To do this, OL will have to present a file which highlights all the operations which were presented last November and which have been carried out since. We can think of the money promised before the listing on the New York Stock Exchange or the recent sales at the start of the winter transfer window. Savings that will be taken into consideration? The Lyon club obviously hopes so in order to experience a less stressful second half of the season behind the scenes…
