The end of the discussions were initially scheduled for last Friday but the various actors chose to give themselves a few more days. It is therefore this Tuesday that the decision will fall concerning the Dazn-LFP file. The almost exclusive broadcaster of the French Ligue 1 championship and the body led by Vincent Labrune are one last time on Tuesday to act their final decision. The boss of the LFP will not, however, be on site. What Pierre Ménès deplored.
On his social networks, the former troublemaker of Canal Football Club did not go with the back of the spoon. For him, the physical absence of Vincent Labrune in this decisive meeting is a gross fault. On the road to Aston Villa to follow the quarter-final return of the Champions League between the English club and Paris Saint-Germain, the manager will attend the meeting on video. But that is not at all to the taste of Pierre Ménès.
Almost exclusive diffuser of Ligue 1, Dazn chats with Vincent Labrune's LFP. Is the association between the two parties will continue or stop prematurely?
“And where is it at the time of this vital meeting for French football?” In Birmingham, let's see and he will participate in Visio. We are very beyond the foutage of mouth. He must emerge urgently. »» A radical opinion not shared by a good number of Internet users who have not understood the rant of the observer. Many reminded him in particular that many meetings were being made on video today. Others explained that it was not abnormal that the boss of the League attended a match involving one of the French clubs on the European scene.
Four scenarios offered between Dazn and the LFP
In the meantime, Pierre Ménès was not optimistic about the outcome of the meeting between Dazn and the LFP. “This afternoon we will know what happens to the LFP-Dazn mediation and what sauce French football will be eaten (devoured?). Suffice to say that I am not optimistic. »» Four scenarios were envisaged between the two parties. The LFP first offers a premature end of the partnership with Dazn. His second suggestion is a prosecution of the association for two years, with a rejected exit clause.
For his part, Dazn worked on a first proposal with an agreement for a withdrawal at the end of the season. As for her second idea, it consists of recovering all matches, the ninth being allocated to Bein for the time being.
