“An incomprehensible decision”. OL leaders decided to reply by press release after the heavy sanction imposed by the DNCG this Tuesday evening: a relegation to Ligue 2 which amazed the Lyonnais, the club not expecting such a sanction on the part of the authorities.
“In the past few months, we have worked closely with the DNCG, satisfying all its requests with higher fund investments in the requested amounts,” write Lyon leaders. Thanks to the equity contributions of our shareholders and the sale of Crystal Palace, our cash has improved considerably and we have more than sufficient resources for the 2025-26 season. »»
Despite the sanction, OL will not give up and decided to call: “With demonstrated funds and a sporting success which earned us a place in European competition two years in a row, we sincerely understand how an administrative decision was able to relegate such a big French club. We will call on to demonstrate our ability to provide the necessary resources in terms of cash to guarantee the maintenance of OL in L 1. ”
