Paulo Fonseca was sanctioned nine months of suspension by the LFP disciplinary committee, following his attitude towards the referee of the match between Lyon and Brest (2-1). A decision that was followed by an official reaction from the US owner of OL, John Textor. “I stay by your side, today and always. You made a mistake … your apologies were sincere … and your sanction is clearly too severe. You are the ideal man for OL and we will persevere together. »» Words that made Carine Galli react.
The journalist spoke on Thursday evening on the subject and regretted the fact that Lyon does not accept the sanction against her coach. “This is the case every time. What a club says every time: 'Indeed we were too far away, we hear it.'. There is always a question of conspiracy. When it's Marseille, it's because we want Marseillais, when it is Lyon it is that we want the Lyonnais and the next time it will be the Parisians. But there is no club that really assumes. There is always the 'we apologize'and behind we try to save the soldier. It's always the same. »»
Not the first or the last time
Carine Galli has repeated her arguments in the form of a fatalistic observation several times: “Of course it annoys us. But in fact, next week there will be another club that will do exactly the same outing, after the apologies of of course. »» In the meantime, OL does not seem assumed the attitude of its coach. And the Rhone club is not the only one to challenge the sanctions of the league, because OM has decided to grasp the CNOSF about the sanction which Medhi Benatia received after his behavior against the referee during the Coupe de France against Lille.
A case that of course has nothing to do with that of Paulo Fonseca, but here again a choice of dispute which shows that certain clubs have a hard time accepting the decisions of the courts and commissions.
