Lyon, Feb 17, 2021 (AFP) - Jean-Michel Aulas, the powerful president of leading French club Lyon, has admitted that supporters of his side are fundamentally opposed to any plans for a breakaway European Super League. Our supporters who we have spoken to are fundamentally opposed to a private European league, said Aulas at a press conference to reveal the latest financial results of OL Groupe, Lyon s listed holding company.
Aulas added that clubs need to listen to the cultural and social demands of supporters. I think in France they are rather against a private European league.

Yesterday wasn’t too wild of a news day, but we still have the framework of this year’s MLS schedule (assuming the CBA is worked out, and that Covid-19 doesn’t force another delay, and probably four other obstacles), a D.C. United re-signed for another year, a Washington Spirit contract move that’s almost to that stage, and a few other things. Let’s go!
Felipe Martins was out of contract, but now he’s got a deal with United through this year (with an option year in 2022). No real surprise, but it’s good United got the deal done. Felipe’s experience playing deep in the Red Bulls midfield during their 3331 days with Jesse Marsch may end up being quite applicable to what Hernán Losada wants from his deepest midfielder. Hopefully his ACL rehab stays on course for a return earlier in the season rather than later.
