Hope will have been short -lived. For all those who hoped for the help of Canal+ to try to save Ligue 1, it is missed. Maxime Saada closed the soap, announcing that his group would refuse to distribute the future LFP channel.
It is a less subscriber base for Ligue 1, and the future league channel will be less accessible than Dazn, which was distributed by the Internet boxes and by Canal+. While the subscription price will be less than 20 euros, the amount of income should not be very high, as feared by Daniel Riolo.
“We will have to pay the production costs if they set up a drafting, with all the jobs to be created, Observe the RMC consultant. Before there is rab to share, how many subscribers will it be necessary? Then if the chain is sold with a subscription at 18 € or 19 €, then there … We will be in the mud, we will roll in it. »»

“I understand Maxime Saada, I would have done the same thing, says Daniel Riolo. Who wouldn't have done it? Very simple reasoning. The league will find itself as two round of flan, the nose in flour as usual. They still did anything. »»
