I've got absolutely no idea either. I've not looked into it but had the bewilderment as yourself.

It might be to do with the deal for TV rights. The main media partner backed out of the previous deal early, and some US company (CVC) bought into the package for a tiny amount but with the same terms as the previous backer. Most clubs are in a dire state, and CVC loaned lots of French clubs money at silly interest rates to get them through in the short term. They took the deal because they were expecting revenue to rise by 25% and in reality this is not happening so clubs are saddled with lots of expensive debt.

Struggle to find TV deal leaves French football clubs fearing bankruptcy

League president Vincent Labrune predicted broadcast revenues of €1bn a season but reality has proved different

Cheers for this.

Not quite the same mess as ITV digital left but along the same lines.

No problem. Just shows how fragile leagues are outside of the top 3 European ones. Unless ofcourse you have a sugar state like f***ing horrible PSG

Can someone explain to me like I'm 6 years old what happened with Lyon?

They've got links to Palace, yet buy 2 of our players at massively inflated fees, then almost immediately are reported as being in financial trouble and needing to offload?

I feel like I'm missing a key part of the story here.

I don’t think there is a master plan or an easy explanation.

Textor is another 777. He has no liquid cash, throughout his ownership of all his clubs he has had cash flow issues.

One of the reasons Everton naming him preferred bidder is batshit mental. They massively overpaid for Mangala & Niakhate and he now wants the money he spent to try and buy Everton.

Fiorentina want him, as Amrabat looks to be finally leaving. A far better destination for him than Merseyside.

Top half Serie A footy in Florence or relegation fighting in Liverpool. What a tough choice

 

[Rzar]

His style really doesn’t suit Dyche’s football & because of that the chances are pretty high he’s going to be spat at during some point by their fanbase

Chernobyl would be a better destination that Merseyside.

 

[Canadian_red]

I really don't understand what's going on either. In his way to Everton on straight loan with a big loan fee (not as big as we got but that was part of a bigger deal).

 

[Listen 'ere young man]

 

[Strummer]

That makes me vomit.

 

[Gareth Edds]

Yeah this one hurts. Rather he was still playing here. Good buisness by everton

 

[Deleted User]

I’m happy with it. Tidy player but ultimately he wasn’t good enough here, hence he won’t be good enough there.

 

[Bohinens_chip]

Liked him and he was (one of) our first forays into the new bracket of player. Good player and decent guy who played a big part in us stopping up.

Wish him well but not at our expense.

 

[garibaldi]

Good player and a top guy when the kids saw him out and about.

I'm looking forward to watching him in the Prem and I hope he can get his career back on track but not to our expense.

 

[Baronvon]

He's a good signing for them. Was disappointed to see him go.

 

[Eddie Yates]

Bang average at PL level so couldn't give a shiny shite that he's gone to Everton

He'd be behind Sangare, Anderson, Yates, Danillo, Dominguez & JWP at Forest

 

[Cureboy]

He's better than Dominguez imo...but yeah not too bothered, it's an odd one though.

 

[JohnnyCarey]

He's a player I really like but he seems an odd choice for a Dyche side. Their fans will turn on him very quickly and he'll find the ball sailing over his head a lot of the time.

 

[Steve Stone’s Brylcreem]

He’ll have some days we wished he was still ours but then be anonymous others. Think Garner.

Interesting they’ve gone for Broja too, who is injured until October. Their recruitment suggests they’re in a pickle and could be in serious trouble with a handful of injuries

 

[eyupmeduck]

Signed to assist Textors weird football operation, effectively if he takes over then will probably ensure he signs and in the process moves £40m cash back to Lyon when he does (We have a sell on as well so good news).

Exact opposite of a Dyche midfielder, neat on the ball and low centre of gravity is not what Everton play like. He needs to either run like a lunatic and kick the hell out of opposition teams to desperately "defend the V" or be 8 foot tall and a threat from set peices.

Will definitely develop at Everton, unfortunately for him it will only be his neck muscles that this applies to as he watches 86 year old Ashley Young smash diagonal balls over his head to grease ball Jack Harrison to misconstrol out of play.

Shit for the lad that - harsh from Everton too given he'd become a regular starter for them.

I can see how he's loaned for the season and not able to play again how it might be in all parties interests to end the loan and make a purchase conditional on him recovering.

Seems a bit unfortunate since he missed a fair chunk of our first season with a different injury.

Does this move him into the biscuit barrel?
Shocking injury to have.
My Mrs ruptured her cruciate ligament before she and I got together.
She was a whole year out following an operation to repair the damage.
We met when she turned up for her first gentle game of squash at the squash club I played at.
