The French giant Lyon confirmed that the authorities would appeal to the “undesired” decision to relegate to League 2 after not convinced of the resolution of financial difficulties.
Seven French champions were temporarily relegated in November after a large debt, and since then, many of the first team players have been sold, but the French Football Watch Dok has supported the National Management Bureau (DNCG) following the Tuesday meeting.
Lyon owns John Text, And the decision to relegate them was the next day when an American businessman sold Crystal Palace’s stake to Woody Johnson, a New York jet owner.
Lyon owner John Textor sold his shares at Crystal Palace.
The influence on Lyon’s Europa League place and the additional meaning of Crystal Palace is unknown.
Whether Lyon meets the financial rules of the UEFA Club Financial Management Agency (CFCB) is still pending.
UEFA did not mention it when contacting Sky Sports News.
Lyon, who ranked sixth in the league 1 last season, said in a statement.
“For the past few months, we have worked closely with DNCG to meet all demands by over -investing stocks, thanks to shareholders’ donations and sales of Crystal Palace, and have sufficient resources during the 2025/26 season.
“Through the successful funds and sports successes that have been in place for two consecutive years in the European competition, we do not sincerely understand how administrative decisions could relegate such major French clubs. We will appeal to show the ability to provide financial resources necessary to ensure the continuous position of OL in Ligue.”
Text said team Last week he was convinced that Lyon’s financial position was resolved. In November, the club is unlikely to be relegated.

Lyon can appeal to the decision to be relegated to Ligue 2.
French football expert Julien Laurens told Sky Sports News:
“In November, they were tentatively relegated by DNCG because they had a tentative £ 200 million debt by DNCG. DNCG will go down regardless of the place to finish in the league.
“And John Textor said, ‘Yes. Don’t worry. There’s no problem. We’ll sell players in January. We will do the same thing before the end of June. We have made all this plan.’
“So they were quite optimistic to meet DNCG in Paris today, but this news was a huge earthquake of French football, and we all thought and understood that Lyon would be fine, so the plan suggested to classify their financial problems was not convincing enough for DNCG.
“They will appeal now, but now it won’t take much time so far. There is an appeal to make a different plan than what is presented today.
“They sold Rayan Cherki to Manchester City. It was part of the plan. (However) I couldn’t take money out of Botafogo and put it in a Lyon account. They tried to clean up such plans, but did not work.
Lyon sold Rayan Cherki for £ 34 million this summer.
“Now, I’m not sure what I can do other than selling Malick Fofana to an English club, perhaps other players or two people, but again, they will actually run against the clock, and the other clubs will also know that money is very fast, so it will not be in a powerful position with a transfer market and a transfer fee.
“I am really worried because we have been relegated in the relegated club and appealed and found a way to keep money on the way with new investors.
“It’s terrible. Since John Textor acquired and purchased clubs from Jean-Michel AULAS, this historic figure of Lyon’s historic figure, Lyon’s historic figure, has advanced to the semi-finals of seven league titles and Champions League in the second category of the mid-80s.

“John Textor confused this club. There’s no other way. He was one of the worst owners, spent money, plundered administrators, and hired wrong administrators.
“I don’t know how you get out of this. If you are Lyon, this is a terrible position.”
