Rising to disaster, Ligue1+ succeeded in its bet. Better still, the beginnings of the channel launched by the League exceed expectations, whether in terms of editorial quality or number of subscribers. At the beginning of September, the channel was already close to one million subscribers while its end-of-season objective is 1.15 million customers.
However, the storm is brewing around Ligue1+ and on Thursday, during the LFP board of directors, the tone rose between Nicolas de Tavernost, the boss of LFP Média, and certain participants, first and foremost, Olivier Létang, the president of Lille and Foot Unis (the organization which represents the clubs in the LFP). The northern leader was indeed worried about the redistribution of economic benefits for the clubs. A concern shared by Nasser Al-Khelaifi, the president of PSG.
The situation is so tense that the former boss of M6 is considering leaving his position, as Daniel Riolo confirmed this Thursday at RMC. “ Today, Nicolas De Tavernost is so drunk that we cannot exclude the possibility that he will slam the door. he assured.
“beIN and Canal want to sink Ligue1+”
“ Because he simply notes that Nasser and his close friends want to destroy the chain,
he continued. And Labrune. They don't care about the channel. Létang is the new boss, he is the boss of Foot Unis, the boss of the presidents. When he constantly insists, with Nasser supporting him, to always ask the same questions: 'what about the money? What does the chain give?' These are false questions since the channel is the emanation of these people. »
And another historic player in French football would welcome the end of Ligue1 +: Canal+. “ What do they really want? Is there a buyer somewhere, a competing offer? No, there isn't. There is an agreement with Canal, because beIN and Canal want to destroy this channel, Daniel Riolo further affirmed, adding:
“With this new sketch, we are on the verge of making Nicolas De Tavernost fall for it. »
