Olympique Lyonnais is no longer last in the Ligue 1 standings, but Les Gones does not reassure them. Yesterday, Fabio Grosso’s new team was held in check by the modest Le Havre team (0-0). But for the club’s management, if the start of the season is painful, it is also because the summer transfer window was very complicated. Questioned this Monday, on the sidelines of Grosso’s official presentation, John Textor took stock and did not fail to blame the sale of young talents (Lukeba, Barcola) on the former management.
“Financial stability is a big question. The club has experienced challenges in recent years. The DNCG has maintained measures to ensure that clubs are healthy. We would have liked to have more freedoms during the transfer window, that was not the case. From this point of view, yes, we have the feeling of being late. We didn’t have our hands free to pick up the players we wanted. The departure of the players was painful, we did it to be in line with the budget prepared by the previous management. Our team in the football department did an excellent job, we brought in nine players despite the constraints of the DNCG. These nine players all want to be there and don’t see us as a training club. (…) It would have been better to make a quick change (of coach, editor’s note) during the summer. Coaches like Fabio would have preferred to work with a preseason”he confided at a press conference.
