Lausanne-Sport is once once more going through a very complicated season in sporting terms. The third in five years since the takeover of the Vaudois club by Ineos in November 2017. According to some sources, it is even the time too much for the multinational which wishes to convey a winning image in the world of sport in general and football in general. particular. What she is doing perfectly well with OGC Nice, a club she took charge of less than three years ago and which has already, this season, a foot and a half in the final of the Coupe de France and which currently occupies third place in Ligue 1, synonymous, for the moment, with qualification for the next Champions League.
But, despite LS’ hugely disappointing record – relegation in 2018, a missed Super League return the following year and a final Super League berth today – Ineos formally denies seeking to part ways with a club that has become cumbersome for his image. “There is no intention to sell the club!”, Vigorously assures Bob Ratcliffe, the president of Lausanne and brother of Jim, the founder and owner of Ineos.
In “24 hours”, several personalities and sponsors, who know the particularities and the way of doing things of Ineos well as well as the Lausanne context, express themselves regarding these unhealthy rumors while confirming their conviction that the multinational will not let go of the Vaudois club despite the difficult times he is going through. Quite the contrary.
