“Let them give us 2 million TV rights” claims President Erisoglu

The FFF issued its verdict on Thursday: all championships, from National 2 to district championships are stopped. The National championship, for its part, will have to end this summer, like Ligue 1 and Ligue 2, to the great regret of Benjamin Erisoglu, president of SO Cholet. The latter does not understand and criticizes the decision of the federation. “I don’t have the words. I find the situation so serious that what revolves around football … Finally, it would still be nice to know where we are going to sleep when we have to resume travel. As the hotels are closed. It will also be necessary to know if the players want to go there, because they can exercise a right of withdrawal … “he entrusted to West France.

Misunderstanding therefore, for the leader who has trouble digesting. Ligue 1 and Ligue 2 are subject to the decisions of the Professional Football League (LFP) while the National is under the authority of the Federation, so why is the future of the National not the same as that N2 and N3? “If we continue the championship, while they give us two million TV rights, they do not leave us in agony. I try to stay calm, to be a responsible boss, but I understand that some people lose the ball. The decision that has been taken is unsuitable for the current crisis, ”he conceded before recalling all the questions raised by a resumption of the championship: the accommodation of players on the move, contacts on the field, tests, etc. Besides these technical aspects, what example should be shown to young people deprived of football, what justification should be given to them?

“If the employee wants to exercise his right of withdrawal, there will be no match!”

“Beyond my status as president, it is as a human being that I find all this inappropriate. “He declares. The Choletese president accuses a decision which privileges the business with the human one, in connection with the TV rights. He proposed a radical solution: “Let them catch the two broadcasters and tell them:” We will go with the one who pays us the end of the season and basta! ” The manager also recalls that in a democracy the employee has a right of withdrawal. A law that the players of Ligue 1 and Ligue 2 would intend to apply according to him in a context where “nobody has the head with the championships”. “Being a club president does not change anything: you are in a country of law and if the employee wants to exercise his right of withdrawal, there will be no match! “

Regarding next season, Benjamin Erisoglu admits that the economic impact will be substantial for his club. Wages will necessarily have to be cut and the budget will almost certainly be cut in half. The club will then favor loans to strengthen and will have more confidence in the local players. With this in mind, the relegation of the reserve team to Regional 2 may allow young players to progress.
