His relegation to Ligue 2, the TFC deemed it "unacceptable". After having seen his appeal against the decision of the Professional Football League rejected Friday by the judge of summary proceedings of the administrative court of Paris, the leaders of the Violets decided to seize the Council of State, information confirmed at 20 Minutes by the most high administrative jurisdiction.

Red lantern of the championship during the shutdown of Ligue 1 because of an epidemic of coronavirus, the TFC thus joined before the highest administrative body Amiens, 19th in the championship, also depositary of an appeal before the Council of State.

The final classification, decided according to a ratio of points won per game played, sealed the fate of Toulouse, last in the class for a long month, with only three successes and a ratio of 0.46.

In two emails sent Tuesday to partners and supporters and posted online, the club said it was "our responsibility to defend sports equity and assert our rights, despite our twentieth place."

A first hearing of the supreme court, which will have to settle this thorny file, as well as the non-qualification of a European club like Lyon, is scheduled for June 4 in the early afternoon. The Council of State will examine at this time the three appeals filed by the clubs of Ligue 1, Lyon, Toulouse and Amiens. The AC Ajaccio, third of L2, also announced its intention to solicit the Council of State in order to play barrages of accession. His appeal was rejected Monday by the French National Olympic and Sports Committee.
