John Textor, the owner of Olympique Lyonnais, must face new financial problems as his club hits the bottom of the Ligue 1 standings.
A phrase from a former President of the French Republic has remained famous. “ Trouble always flies in squadrons”, said Jacques Chirac. A formula adapted to the situation of Olympique Lyonnais.
The team coached by Fabio Grosso, successor to Laurent Blanc after the 4th day of Ligue 1, occupies last place in the standings with two points taken in seven matches (five defeats and two draws).
Beyond 18th position, the poverty of the game offered by Anthony Lopes and his teammates worries many. It is therefore not surprising to hear rumors of an unhealthy atmosphere in the locker room. We are far from a sacred union, really.
