As expected, the two clubs were very angry with such a decision, believing that the league should not announce the team’s demotion without normal terminations in the season.
Xinhua News Agency, Paris, May 22 (reporter Xiao yazuo) seeing that the Bundesliga league next door has been restarted, the French league here is still struggling for the derivative problems brought about by the early end.
On the 22nd, the Paris administrative court announced that it rejected the appeal against the French professional football league (hereinafter referred to as the “league”) filed by the three teams, Lyon, Amiens and tuluz, who were not satisfied with the early end of the season. The reason given was that as local administrative courts, they had no right to rule on such a national event, but at the same time they gave suggestions-let the Supreme Administrative Court come.
One sentence explanation: it’s too big for me to manage.
The alliance immediately issued a statement on the same day, expressing “satisfaction” with the decision of the Paris administrative court “. The response from Lyon and Amiens was still very “fresh”: see the Supreme Administrative Court on Monday.
Why are the three clubs so dissatisfied with the alliance’s decision that they will not stop even if they go to court? The reason is very simple. Amiens and Toulouse do not want to downgrade, and Lyon wants to play the European war.
Before the suspension of the League in mid-March, Toulouse scored 13 points and ranked the last in the league; Amiens was a little better, with 23 points and ranked the last in the league, the difference between the two teams and the recent relegation team is 14 points and 4 points respectively.
At the end of April, after a meeting and discussion, the league decided that although there was no normal terminations in the season, the champion should be given, so “Greater Paris” successfully defended; the demotion system of the top league still needs to exist, so Amiens and tuluz were severely demoted.
As expected, the two clubs were very angry at such a decision, believing that the league should not announce the team’s demotion without normal terminations in the season.
Bernard Ioanni, the chairman of Amiens, said that the “fairness of sports matches has been challenged”.
“It’s like a game. It only took 60 minutes to play. How can you judge that a team has lost?” He said.
The chairman of the tuluz team, Olivia Sadran, also said angrily, “there are still 30 points to take in the following game!”
The two teams also proposed a solution-cancel the downgrade this season and expand to 22 teams in the French league next season. However, this proposal was not approved in the meeting and discussion of the alliance.
What made the two teams more unbalanced was that on 20th day of this month, the league announced that the de-grading system of the French league this season had been canceled, however, the channel for the third level league to rise to FA B is still retained, which means that there will be 22 teams in the FA B league next season.
Why is French B OK and French a OK? Perhaps both clubs are asking the same question.
In contrast, as a traditional rich team, the goal is to be more “lofty”-what about the European war next season?
Since the 1995-1996 season, Lyon has never missed intercontinental events. This season, the team performed generally in the last half, although it recovered from the beginning of January, but the pit in front was too big, and finally it only climbed to the seventh position. At this time, the league was suspended.
“This result is unfair. I feel that our European war qualification has been deprived.” Lyon president Ola has said many times on different occasions.
The solution proposed by Ola is that since the normal league can not be carried out, can we arrange a small-scale elimination match to determine the ownership of the European war quota. But this proposal was also rejected by the alliance.
In order to stay in the top league, or to qualify for the European war next season, the three clubs took up legal weapons at the same time. Judging from the current situation, although the Paris administrative court has “dumped the pot”, the development of the matter is still not over. The next step depends on what the Supreme Administrative Court says.
