Jean-Michel Aulas will never stop. As long as there is hope and he has not exhausted all the resources at his disposal, the OL president will fight with all his might against the end of the Ligue 1 season which he considers deadly for French football. Responding to an elected representative from the Rhône who supports his position, Aulas has made various proposals which, according to him, could make it possible to envisage a resumption of the 2019-2020 season.
“We must resume, recover our rights to this end of the championship,” he suggests, presenting the bill for broadcasters: 300 million euros. Canal + terminated its contract with the Professional Football League last month when the latter was preparing to formalize the final cessation of the season. The LFP was to collect 234 million euros for the broadcast of the games at the end of the season. An amount that she had to give up.
@OL @DanielRiolo @lfp @PierreMenes yes it is necessary to take back recover our rights on this end of championship 300 Million €, then to negotiate 1 end of + with MediaPro, to give 1 little + to L2, to withdraw from the vote the clubs conflicted by this judgment unfair, do like all other countries

Put some clubs away from the vote
Jean-Michel Aulas then plans to “negotiate a bit more with Mediapro, give a little to Ligue 2, remove from the vote the clubs involved (sic) by this unfair judgment”. Who is it in the latter case? The clubs which he judges would have expressed their own interest during this vote he denounced? Jean-Michel Aulas does not specify this. He just wants to “do like everyone else”. His obsession of the moment.
Wind up against the end of the professional sports season, Jean-Michel Aulas is undoubtedly too lonely to achieve his ends. Most French football executives preferred to secure the juicy contract for television rights to come, which was 60% higher than the previous one with the arrival on the Mediapro market. And although they give, for some of them anyway, reason to Aulas on the bottom, they do not seem to want to backtrack.
