Fabio Grosso’s week isn’t getting any better. Last weekend, he was verbally abused by Strasbourg coach Jean-Marc Furlan for being a “piece of macaroni shit.” Today, during Lyon’s 2-2 draw against Caen, Grosso was sent off, the third Lyon player to be red carded this year. Apparently, Grosso - who had already received a yellow [...]

Hey, just because it’s January doesn’t mean that the only thing Lyon care about is the mercato! At least Aulas hasn’t forgotten. Project OL Land is going full speed ahead.

On Thursday, June 6, Gerard Collomb, Mayor of Lyon and Blogger Extraordinaire, presented “Project OL Land” to Lyon town officials.
Unfortunately, this was not a public presentation (that takes place on September 24), but some sketchy information about the new stadium has been published on OL’s website.

What Will It Take For Lyon to Become a Big Club?
By: Inara | 19 Comments
An excellent article was published on Sportsvox which asked whether Lyon fulfilled the criteria of being a “big European club.” It’s in French, so I thought I’d list the main points here in English, with some of my own comments. Let’s go over it, shall we?

This post is about money.
But before I get carried away, a warning: what follows is an in depth look into the economic side of Olympique Lyonnais. As a scientist-to-be, I love numbers and percentages, and I’m curious about where Lyon’s money comes from (beside Roman Abramovich’s wallet). So if you have no interest in [...]
