OL will have to tighten its belt next season. The summers follow and resemble each other - almost - for OL. A year ago, John Textor was put on the sidelines after a failed passage in front of the DNCG. This year, it's the Eagle galaxy, and its constellation of clubs with Botafogo in Brazil and Molenbeek, which is out of the running. The entity imagined by the American businessman has lived. The management will regain complete independence... but must manage the sale of the club, official since April, and the transition to an independent entity. The DNCG has already validated the OL project, but the budget uncertainties remain. OL must manage the sale of the club and the transition to an independent entity while respecting the DNCG rules.

OL is ready to take on the challenge and create a bright future for the club.
