A fervent supporter of ASSE, Régis Juanico did not fail to refer on Tuesday, ahead of Jean-Michel Aulas, to the next derby set for October 3.
It must be said that the deputy of the Loire chaired a committee which wanted to discuss with the leader of the OL on the future of football and TV rights, he who sits in addition to his club at the FFF and the LFP.
Faced with Régis Juanico and the reporter Cédric Roussel, JMA notably mentioned the Mediapro fiasco and the thorny issue of TV rights in France during its 1h30 hearing.
This Tuesday, July 20, the president @JM_Aulas exchanged with the deputies of the information mission on the audiovisual broadcasting rights of sport.

With a central question addressed on Tuesday: how could French football be of more interest to investors? “We must reduce uncertainties,” says Jean-Michel Aulas. The fewer clubs will automatically descend, the more investors will be protected. That is why I am in favor of a reduction to 18 [this will be effective from the 2023-2024 season] or even to 16 teams from professional leagues. There must be a minimum of automatic descents, that is to say, one, and that it is at the end of play-off or other very precise criteria. "
A position which should not fail to react other presidents of Ligue 1, as we imagine this prospect of an elite with 16 divisive clubs.
The boss of OL also believes that "we are going to get closer to a model" akin to a "Spotify of football".
Prepare the popcorn.
