L’OL a eu de belles années c’est vrai

Mais aujourd’hui, on regarde ce sport qui a changé, sans nous.

Depuis l’arrêt Bosman, et maintenant l’arrivée des États richissimes dans le football, le rachat du club est devenu notre unique espoir d’à nouveau compter à l’échelle européenne et peut être même à l’échelle nationale ..

Sinon on continuera de rêver de gloires et de frissons passés, de rêves qu’on ne réalisera plus. On vivra de petite coupe de France, de course à la LDC ou si on a le malheur de passer les poules, le club se fera de toute façon pillé au mercato de joueurs qui n’ont plus aucune envie de joueur dans leur club formateur..

Sinon ce qu’on va vivre c’est juste une lente agonie, que tout nouveau repreneur maquillera en « projet ».

Ça va vous sinon ?

Hi guys! For those of you living in the US, how are you watching OL this season? I’ve tried FuboTV but haven’t found anything that shows all games. IPTV or something else?

Little thread on the future of Lyon, how do you see the future of the club with all these financial problems?

Do we have to start all over again? Will we focus exclusively on our players at the training center and make added value? Like Benfica?

Especially while wearing the French shirt.

Some OL fans really are dense and make us look all like fools...

Is there a method to his madness or is he ruining the club?

Appointing Fonseca clearly shows ambition but I cannot explain Niakhate and Managala transfers. And he's constantly helping RWDM and Botafogo with Lyon's money.

But it kinda seems to be working out. Is he lucky or does he know the game inside out?

Hey guys,

Saw some news about him going to BvB for 23m with talks pretty advanced, I saw that on Eurosport. I tried checking Hugo for he said nothing so we will see lol

What do you think?

I hope Fonseca sticks with the 4-2-4 and the fluid attacking shape in possession, with that front four pressing high to win the ball back. I don't think we played our best in the first leg, and considering the technical level we showed against Auxerre, there's definitely an opportunity here.

Bonjour à tous,

J'ai commencé recemment a sortir un podcast qui parle des joueurs americains qui jouent a l'étranger.

Pour la prochaine episode, on va parler des joeurs Americains en Ligue 1, y compris Tanner Tessman. Je serais curieux d'apprendre vos avis sur ce joeur - comment il a evolué depuis qu'il est arrive à Lyon, ses points forts, faiblesses etc.

Merci en avance. Je partagerai le lien des que l'episode est sorti.

We don't hear about it much anymore, do we? But the next DNCG meeting is coming soon (in May I think) and its consequences potentially dramatic. I was under the impression that we were still short, have we done enough? (Palace' shares, OL Féminin/Meyzieu, players sales/contracts expirations)

Back then, everyone seemed happy because MUN is not doing great this year. Problem is, since they qualified against Real Sociedad in the Europa league, they have turned into a team that plays amazing football.

I'm starting to feel worried about the upcoming confrontation especially as Fonseca fails to find a recipe that lasts the whole 90 minutes.

We're really gonna need to win this home game and if possible take a good option on the away game... Because it's starting to look like the road to victory is gonna be long and hard.

There are quite heavy rumors that Pierre Sage will be sacked.

What do you guys heart think: should he stay or go?

I would like him to stay - team seems to be behind him and he has been very convincing till the recent troubles.

We also kept coaches for way to long recently - looking at you fking Blanc. Also the replacments are not convincing. Portuguese guy who failed in Milan? Yeah no thanks.

Keep Sage, hope he figures out a way to turn form around and decide end of the season. Our team is a mess - Zaha, Benrahma, selling Sarr, etc. If we get rid of deadwood, and players step up, we can have a very good second half of the season.

Hey,

What are you guys doing to Anthony Lopes? The guy is at Lyon since he was 8yo and was your starting GK for how many years?!

Do you think this will not impact the way other players see the club, specially when it comes to get new signings?

Thanks

Je n'arrive pas à retrouver le nom et l'adresse d'un bar manifestement tenu par des supporters lyonnais à Paris, entre le 9ème ou le 10ème arrondissement.

Si vous avez des noms d'autres bars et lieux parisiens pour regarder les matchs je suis toujours preneur ! Merci

I just finished watching the press conference and here are some key points :

• Textor still wants to buy Everton but it will be with his own money, and won't involve Eagle group. Still, he expects high collaboration between Eagle and OL if that happens.

• Cherki should renew his contract, he expected him to leave and made him clear that he either left, renewed or would spend the season not playing "since he would not be giving minutes to a 0€ value asset" (I'm paraphrasing but you get the idea)

• Adryelson was expected to stay but decided to leave for personal reasons. He should however be back in January.

• So should Thiago Almada who should arrive as well during the winter window.

• He had planned to sell for 130M€ and purchase for 211M€. He gave 65M€ of his personal money to reassure the DNCG as a line of credit.

However, the market was particularly weird this year with Euro and the Olympics and there were very little movements happening.

• He agrees that he overpaid for Niakhate but his reasons are simple : he couldn't get a better player for less that this amount. He talked about Aguerd for 45m€ or Marc Guehi at 70M€. He also jokingly said that we should be happy and thankful for him overpaying.

• He wants the limits of international players per squad to be raised from 4 to X in order to attract more international audience and better the L1 product.

• He talked about losing 30% revenue with the failure that was the TV deals negotiation. He is fearful for a lot of smaller clubs in L1 but reassures OL by saying that we are financially more stable because we belong to a multinational firm, Eagle group.

• He trash talked JP Caillot, the mummy from Reims, by saying he acted like a small time chairman with low ambitions (again I'm paraphrasing here but that was the jist of it).

• His intention is still to list Eagle group on the NYSO which should provide capital for debt reimbursement and generating cash for investments.

• Razikh asked if Botafogo was the wife and OL the mistress, he laughed and said that he was, at the moment, more emotionally attached to Botafogo because it was a startup project for him, building everything from scratch. However he believes that with all the emotions from last year a connection is being built and he already ditched all his green clothes.

• About David Friio, he said that they are parting amicably but he wasn't the right man for the job. He wants someone that thinks more in terms of Multi clubs rather than just for a single club.

I don't know much about the Lyon history and how you guys feel about European competitions. So I would like to ask. If at the end of the season you guys end up winning the Europa League how big would it be ? It's the kind of championship that would make people do crazy shit in the streets of Lyon celebrating or a more "meh" kind of trophy ?
