Questioned by AFP, Jean-Michel Aulas assured that women’s football was promised to a bright future thanks to the arrival of foreign investors. In a press release, the UNFP tackles the president of the LFFP on its management of women’s football.
In the aftermath of the formalization of the nominees for the next ceremony for presenting the UNFP trophies, the footballers’ union took advantage of a scathing press release to send a huge tackle to Jean-Michel Aulas. Earlier in the week, the president of the LFFP had granted an interview to AFP in which he claimed that women’s football was doing well and that he was not at all worried about his future. “” We are not at all worried about the future because we have prepared this alternative and ensure that if clubs are in difficulty, we can offer them the possibility of bringing a certain number of partners to help them. Partners, especially foreign, are ready to invest in women’s football He explained. An outing worthy of a great politician who did not at all pleased UNFP.
“He distributes hope to the auction”
« In the absence of certainties and a firm commitment, Jean -Michel Aulas, perfect in his role as president of the LFFP, distributed from hope to the auction, and we want to believe – and even rather hoping since he commits us – than foreign investors, that he claims to be ready to cross the Rubicon, will be there. The best European women’s league, promised to France by Jean-Michel Aulas with the arrival of new investors, is a beautiful goal, in which the players and the UNFP want to believe and for which they are ready to fully invest. An objective – an ambition – which is timely and would make it possible to resume negotiations to finalize a collective agreement that the players and their representatives are impatient to see being put in place. And not an unfinished and unacceptable convention like the one that the clubs would like to ‘oblige’ “Launched the union in its scathing press release.
Jean-Michel Aulas, however, continues to benefit from the support of the UNFP, which concludes its remarks by reaffirming the hope that it carries in the project of the former illustrious president of Olympique Lyonnais. But the union of players and players are asking for concrete acts, and not promises of development or club buyouts which are currently only on paper.
