In France, the question of TV rights is still not resolved. Concern is also growing among certain consultants while the hope of fetching the billion euros no longer convinces many people.
The future of French football has been up in the air for some time now. While Vincent Labrune wanted to negotiate for 1 billion euros, the broadcasters are very far from being of the same opinion. A real war is underway and the president of the LFP will certainly have to make concessions. According to some, TV rights might ultimately be negotiated for 600 million euros. That is to say a potential shortfall of 400 million euros, for clubs which make a large living thanks to television rights. A catastrophe for Gilles Favard, who predicts monster economic difficulties for the vast majority of elite clubs.
Towards a deep crisis in French football?
During an intervention in In Le Carré Poker, the consultant did not in fact speak the language on the subject, showing himself to be quite worried regarding the future of French football. “No, but we have Mr. 1 billion. Labrune is Mr. 1 billion! I’m not in on the secret of the Gods but the fact that it’s hanging around is always a bad sign. I think we’re closer to 600 million than 1 billion. And it’s a disaster for French football. We will lose players and clubs will be forced to sell. Which clubs will be able to keep their players apart from Paris? We have Monaco and Rennes. And following ? Marseille, they do cavalry every year. Longoria has some big players he is forced to sell. He has purchase options to defer payments hoping for possible Champions League qualification to give him oxygen. It’s a club that makes money, so it’s important”, notably indicated Gilles Favard, who will closely follow the end of this episode concerning TV rights. And the consultant working for La Chaine L’Equipe ensures that all clubs will suffer, apart from the three exceptions mentioned.
