A giant of French football in the second division! Lyon did not comply financially and bid farewell to Ligue 1 after – a decision – a decision of the Audit and Management Committee in France.
The “nightmare” got flesh and bones for Lyon! The Economic Committee for the Control and Management of French Football had … warned, the Lion administration did not comply and the pelican fell heavy for the club.
As it became known on Tuesday night (24/06), Lyon is relegated to Ligue 2! The competent body reached this decision due to the frightening debts of the French club, which reached 200 million euros. Lyon, however, reserves the right to appeal and is given that he will run the case with the aim of salvation.
With these data, of course, the Lion will slide in the second category for the first time since 1989. To date, 36 consecutive seasons have counted at the top level.
Lyon belongs to the investment group of American businessman John Texter, who also has shares in Botafogo and until recently and in Crystal Palace. In France, however, Texter made them … sea with the financial management of the club and the price the team “paid” it in the toughest way.
