Former OL president Jean-Michel Aulas is calling for sanctions against OM following the incidents which took down Olympico.
Although he no longer has official functions at OL, Jean-Michel Aulas nonetheless remains an attentive observer of Gones news. Also the iconic ex-president of the Rhone club did not fail to comment on the sad events of the aborted Olympico on Sunday evening at the VĂ©lodrome after the attack on the Lyonnais’ bus.
Commenting on X on a shocking photo of Fabio Grosso’s injury, “JMA” directly charges OM this Monday: “ When incidents of this type are premeditated and carried out by groups of subscribed supporters of a club, we cannot exclude the responsibility of the organizing club, especially if these acts have been reported to the delegates on numerous occasions previously?? » As of Sunday evening, still on social networks, the former boss of OL called for sanctions: “ All the last LFP delegates from OM-OL matches will tell you: these incidents have already taken place in the past and I made complaints that were not followed up because there were no injuries at the time! Enough is enough, the sanctions must be exemplary! »
@OL @Sports_gouv When incidents of this type are premeditated and carried out by groups of subscribed supporters of a club, we cannot exclude the responsibility of the organizing club, especially if these acts have been reported to the delegates on numerous occasions previously??

On the airwaves of RMC this Monday evening, JĂ©rĂ´me Rothen has a more nuanced speech: “ Responsibility on public roads is not OM. It once again taints football, but I don’t even know if these guys are Marseille supporters, if they come to the stadium or if they are just fighters, breakers. But we must not minimize things. I blame the prefecture, the buses have been stoned for years in Marseille. I am well placed to know this, I have suffered it. Every time I went to Marseille with PSG and it was high-risk matches, the buses were stoned and the windows gave way. The difference is that there were never any injuries. What concerns me is that you have the police who are there to ensure that there is security and that they do not intervene, it is a real ambush. »
