Last in Ligue 1 with only three points collected in nine days, OL are heading straight into the wall according to a former member of the house.
Like an air of dĂ©jĂ vu… In 1983, under the orders of Robert Herbin and despite the presence in its squad of internationals such as Serge Chiesa, Jean-François Domergue or Albert Emon, Lyon was unable to avoid relegation – the the only one suffered by the club between 1954 and today. A young professional at the time, Laurent Fournier was part of this sad adventure.

“ Yes, OL can go downhe judges. I was in front of my TV on Sunday and I was moaning on my couch. It’s terrible. All the stories of the last few weeks must have disturbed the group.
