French Football Club Olympique Lyon president Jean-Michel Olas, who is fighting on all fronts to challenge the League's decision to suspend the final season of the 2019-2020 soccer season due to the pandemic of the Corona virus, has sent a message to French parliamentarians to persuade them to "retract" this decision.
In one of the letters addressed to the deputies and members of the Senate, published by the newspaper "Le Parisien", and seen by Agence France-Presse, the President of Lyon said, "France is the only one of the six major championships (Spain, England, Germany, Italy, France and Portugal) decided to stop the 2019/20 season, without Think carefully about the consequences. "
He added: "We are therefore against the current of most other European countries, which means very clearly, the risk of an economic disaster for France," referring to the number "900 million euros of accumulated losses."
Olas, who is launching a very strong media campaign against the footballing authorities in his country, announced on Tuesday that he lodged two appeals before the Administrative Court regarding the early suspension of the championship with the support of the government, hoping for a decision "before the end of May."
On the one hand, these two appeals relate to the decision to end the season early, and on the other hand the criteria for stopping the championship and the method of calculating the final arrangement in light of the twenty-eighth stage, which was the last before the league stopped due to the emerging Corona virus.
Lyon came in seventh place in the order in which the League decided to end the season, crowning Paris Saint Germain the title, and thus President Olas' team will be absent from participating in one of the two continental competitions (Champions League and European League) next season, for the first time since 1997, unless if He crowned the League Cup title at the expense of Paris Saint-Germain in the final match (to be determined later), or crowned the title of the Champions League competition this season and suspended in turn because of the "Covid-19" virus, where the second representative of France in the competition returns the final price against his host Italian Juventus (1-0) Ba in Lyon).
