Should Lyon enter judicial recovery, this move would put the public body at the front of the queue to recoup money owed \u2014 a highly unusual and serious legal step that signals the extent of concern within public institutions over OL\u2019s finances.<\/p>\n<p>This development is yet another setback for John Textor and Eagle Football Group, who face growing regulatory and financial pressure in France. OL\u2019s failure to qualify for the Champions League, has deprived the club of key revenue streams. The DNCG \u2014 French football\u2019s financial watchdog \u2014 is set to audit OL\u2019s accounts and hear directly from Textor on June 24. <\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.getfootballnewsfrance.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:GFFN;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">GFFN<\/a> <\/strong>| George Boxall<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Olympique Lyonnais\u2019 financial turmoil has taken another serious turn as France\u2019s social security body, URSSAF, has launched a&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":125592,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5309],"tags":[55625,2000,299,55628,36,10039,55630,55629,2580,55626,55627],"class_list":{"0":"post-125591","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-france","8":"tag-dncg","9":"tag-eu","10":"tag-europe","11":"tag-financial-turmoil","12":"tag-france","13":"tag-lyon","14":"tag-olympique-lyonnais","15":"tag-should-lyon","16":"tag-social-security","17":"tag-social-security-body","18":"tag-urssaf"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114557854901937815","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/125591","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=125591"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/125591\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/125592"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=125591"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=125591"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=125591"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
