By: John | 12 Comments
After several weeks of waiting, one of the least suspenseful signings of the summer has been realized. Former Lille LOSC and Monaco manager Claude Puel is officially the new manager of Lyon. The contract is said to be for 4 years and JMA has agreed to a compensation package with Lille for the [...]
Is Alain Perrin Fired or Not?
By: Inara | 16 Comments
Lyon have officially announced that they are “reorganizing” the management of the club.
From the press release on the official website:
The Board of Directors of OL Groupe convened this morning to review the 2007/2008 season of Olympique Lyonnais’ men’s team.
The Board appreciates the performance of a team that won the French Championship and the [...]
The Perrin Chronicles: Part III
By: Inara | 19 Comments
I’m not a fan of Alain Perrin, but I’m starting to think he’s getting the raw end of the deal.
Here’s a guy who finished the year with 79 points, who led Lyon to their first ever domestic double, who - after an admittedly bad start to the Champions League - resurrected Lyon’s European campaign [...]
Two Three Pieces of Good News
By: Inara | 11 Comments
If any of you are keeping up with the U17 Euro Championship, France defeated Ireland 2-1 in the tournament opener, thanks to goals from Lyon players. Four of them started the match (Clement Grenier, Yannis Tafer, Enzo Reale, and Sebastien Faure), and the fifth, Alexandre Lacazette, was brought on in the second half. You can [...]

Normally, a rumor like this aren’t worth the paper it’s written on. But when L’Equipe gets involved, that means that something is afoot between the Rhone and the French Riviera.
Word is that Marseille would be willing to exchange Samir Nasri for Hatem Ben Arfa. It’s unclear if it would be a straight swap or [...]
Fabio Grosso Bitchslaps a Player, Plus Other Lyon Nuggets
By: Inara | 9 Comments
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 [...]

Alain Perrin on the atmosphere surrounding him at the moment:
“It doesn’t stop me from sleeping. We’ll see what happens at the end of the season. The president said he’d make a decision after the last league match (against Auxerre on May 17). Regardless, my departure has been the main topic all season. But I [...]
Raymond Was Young Once…
By: Inara | 11 Comments
I admit that I have a rather unhealthy obsession with Raymond Domenech. Even if his decision making is suspect, his tact is nonexistent, and his best quality is his amazing ability to piss people off, I just can’t help liking him. Maybe it’s because everyone else hates him, or maybe it’s because he’s a Lyon [...]
Rant of the Day: Lyon Are…Shittastic!
By: Inara | 19 Comments
Remember the game that Lyon barely won against Valenciennes? Well, two weeks and three games later, Lyon prove that they can play even more fantastically shitty. Hell, they make it look easy!
So if you’ve been wondering why I haven’t been around the last week or so, it’s because Lyon have been embarrassing themselves lately, and [...]
