It's not a surprise but it remains fascinating, even after all these years. Jean-Michel Aulas does not give up, despite the LFP's decision to close the championship for this season due to the pandemic. In yet another interview with the team , the President of Lyon reiterates his misunderstanding following the vote of the Board last Thursday, and even takes the opportunity to do some political interference by lecturing Edouard Philippe.
Didier Quillot (LFP): "A difficulty for the clubs if France were the only one to have made this decision" - Foot - Coronavirus @LFPfr @FFF It is true that nothing required the LFP to make that decision as quickly: wrong? https://t.co/DEOZKuUECp
- Jean-Michel AULAS (@JM_Aulas) May 3, 2020“First, there was a political error. Why rush to say that it is difficult to play before August? While we do not know if the other countries will have the same judgment ... We had to take a political tour of the other four major leagues. The France of sport is like the France of companies, it is in competition. We should not rush into politics if we are not sure that others do not do the same. Then there is a democratic error. It would have been useful to consult all the clubs by a general assembly. The League believed it was necessary to stop the Championship when we could wait 15 days, 3 weeks, until the beginning of June, to know if individual and collective training could resume. ”
Rewound like a cuckoo, JMA therefore hopes that the resumption of other championships that is decided, at least in Spain and Germany, since Serie A and the Premier League are still cautious, will push French football to reconsider its position on May 20 , date of the GA of the LFP which will have to ratify the decisions of the Board of Directors.
Defamation Complaint Against Eyraud
“I call for these decisions to be resumed at the general meeting (this Monday) or that of May 23. I understand the elected officials of Amiens (19th) for example. Or the leaders of Lille (4th) because the team was closer than us to be in C1. What is sporting merit, as UEFA said? OL have played 44 games since the start of the season, Nice who could qualify 32, including 15 at home, us 13 ".
Gérard Houllier on the judgment of Ligue 1: "A little too early to make this decision" - Foot - L1 - OL @OL @LFPfr @FFF De + c the CA of the LFP which decided without a general consultation meeting and prior opinion from UEFA.! https://t.co/kQIvtqh1hM
- Jean-Michel AULAS (@JM_Aulas) May 3, 2020Fearing also not to be able to play his C1 return match against Juventus in the best conditions, if the latter is maintained in early August, JMA does not forget his longtime friend Jacques-Henri Eyraud, who takes it for his grade, as usual: “There were no insults to the CA with Eyraud as Raymond Domenech said. He (Eyraud) made a pamphlet in the very serious JDD which will be the subject of a defamation complaint. When my dignity and my human qualities are attacked (in this article) , I reply. ” Here we go. See you soon for the next one man show from the big boss of Lyon.
