I have mixed feelings about this decision by the board. A part of me says that this is the right call considering Laurent Blanc's not being able to make much improvement since the previous season. You know they couldn't qualify for any European competition due to their bad placement. This season started horrible for them as well.

The other part of me questions this decision about if it was too early to sack him. But I guess they did the right thing because Lyon's statistics so far have been really poor. A team like Lyon deserve to be managed much better than this. They should be competitive for top 6 to achieve something this season.

There's always room for improvement, teams will continue to push for a more appropriate level. No time to misused chances because with the slightest mistakes, a team can missed out on the title race. Olympique Lyonnias have taken drastic decisions in sacking Laurent Blanc due to their present standings on the league table this season. The board made the right decision in parting ways with the coach because I usually do not see any promising future with him, making the club decline in performance and having slim probability of winning a spot in Ligue One next season.

It is still quite a tough decision so early this season, but will that really bring the positive change that they were now hoping for? Discussing the coach quickly is how it goes when the team doesn't perform well, but I wonder whether the squad is strong enough for the season to really reach their goals. I would have not expected them to do that well and I don't see them to be able to compete for the top either.

But when they decided to take action, I guess it was better to do it immediately like they have done now. We will see how it goes for them, but this season probably ended badly for them before it even had begun.
