Ligue 1 Lyon was demoted to Ligue 2 for financial violations. Why did they have such a result?

Lyon's financial violation was demoted to Ligue 2, and this situation reminded me of an interesting story about playing FM football manager. I remember when playing this game, Real Madrid also encountered this dilemma.

Forgot which version it was, was it CM0304 or FM2006. Anyway, one year Real Madrid was quite weird and bought players in the transfer market. First, he spent 100 million euros to buy Kaka, then spent 80 million euros to buy Ronaldinho, and then bought other stars in the transfer market.

After watching the news, I estimated that I spent about 500 million or 600 million yuan. I was surprised to see this number. Why did Real Madrid have so much money to buy these stars?

Only two years later, I got even more amusing news, Real Madrid went bankrupt, players were sold at a low price, and all were listed. Many stars in the team are selling, such as Kaka can buy it for 10 or 20 million euros.

Then Real Madrid fell directly to the Spanish Second Division, and their underwear was stripped naked.

In the early football manager game, the computer AI was a bit weak and often made inexplicable things. Real Madrid, Juventus, and Liverpool all had a season of crazy buying of players, the team's salary was too high and the team went bankrupt.

Back to reality, let's look at the incident of Ligue 1 and Lyon. Financial violations were demoted to Ligue 2. In fact, they also had a similar problem to that in the game.

First, he spent a lot of money and bought stars, and did not pay attention to costs in management, which was extremely wasteful. Not long ago, they suddenly spent nearly 130 million euros and brought new faces including Nyaket, Ben Hirama, Mikataze and Weiletu.

However? He is only ranked sixth in the league, and he cannot enter the Champions League, but only enters the UEFA Cup.

Just looking at the results, you think it's not bad, but compared with their large investment, this is a bit "insufficient" and has lost a lot of money. Just the transfer fee and the salary paid to these players, the league's results obviously cannot support this club, and they will pay a lot of money.

Seeing that the team's performance was not good and the finances were tight, many of the team's stars were sold out again. Ben Horama, who had just arrived, was loaned to the Saudi Arabia, and the team's management and planning were also very chaotic.

and Cherky also came to the Premier League under Manchester City's offensive, and the team also sold their leading stars to other teams.

But even so, it cannot make up for the mess that the team has wasted in the past few seasons.

Regarding this issue, many French media and experts criticized Lyon's boss Texto, saying that he was the culprit of the team's relegation. After coming to the team, there was a lack of reasonable planning and extravagance, and the players and coaches changed frequently, making the team very unstable.

In just a few years, they went from being a wealthy family in the past to being able to become a mid-range player in Ligue 1, and gradually moved away from the ranks of championship competition.

This model of fighting to support war and blood exchange for blood is too expensive for Lyon. They do not have as strong strength as the Paris Consortium. When their own situation is not good, they must imitate other people's "high-paying development model", and the result is rapid decline.

Their current situation is very similar to Parma in Italy before. All of them are the consequences caused by excessive expenses and waste.

Asset restructuring, shareholder capital increase and other methods cannot alleviate the pressure. So what Lyon can do is to "do accounts illegally" and work hard on the finances, hoping to avoid violations.

But the thing about accounting is always flawed after all, and it is impossible to make up so many messes for you.

For example, you actually owe 30 million yuan, and then you have to make fake accounts. Can this situation work? Players still have to pay their salaries, and investments are still needed in stadium management and construction. Where will this money come from if it is gone?

Disassemble the east wall and repair the west wall, but the result will only get worse and worse, and the holes filled cannot be filled until the end.

Radical management strategies and chaotic financial systems, Lyon could not escape the consequences of downgrade.

There is nothing too regret about this matter, as it will decline when it is prosperous. No matter how brilliant a team is, if it is poorly managed and managed, it will decline one day, and no club will prosper forever.

The sport of football still needs to follow objective laws and start from the long term. Do not be too capital or eager for quick success or instant benefits, otherwise you will encounter difficulties.
