Lyon being bad is definitely something historically sad. I watched them dominate this league when I was growing up, during my college years Lyon was the best team and they had some great European games as well not just France, and unfortunately financial ruin caused them to never recover.
I feel like they need to do better though, they have income, and they are spending way too much on player salaries, if they could get younger players for cheaper, then about a 50-60 million salary spending would be possible and they could pay that easily and then get out of debt. Sell some stuff that they own too, whatever they can, it would cover some of the debt, just like how Barcelona sold some stuff to pay the debt and get some players.
It's sad to see Lyon's current condition, they should be one of the strong teams in Ligue 1, but now they are only ranked 15th. They have 1 win, 1 draw & 3 losses from the 5 matches they have played so far. Their condition is inversely proportional to Marseille, now Marseille is performing better than last season, they are lucky to have Mason Greenwood there who is performing well. Their next match is against Toulouse, let's see what they can get there.
Olympic Lyon will face Toulouse today at noon. In their last Europa League match, they managed to beat Olympiakos, one of the strong teams in Greece, by two goals. This gave them great morale. In the five matches they played in the French League, they gave us images far from the football expected of them. I can't say that they played very well in the match they won either. However, I expect them to play a little better football today. It's time to shake things up. They should come to their senses
