The Council of State resumed, this Tuesday, the plan of the authorities of French football. In this case, the relegations of Amiens and Toulouse are suspended ... "In accordance with the decision of the Council of State, the LFP will work in concert with the FFF to examine this question of the format of Ligue 1, explains the boss of the French Federation, Noël Le Graët, for Le Figaro and Sport24. On these files, there is no victory or defeat for each other. In a difficult context of major health crisis, there was a priority, health and respect for the recommendations of the State. From a sporting point of view, in this unique context, the objective is to find the best, most coherent and fair solution possible in the collective interest of football. ” President Le Graët is, moreover, not a fervent defender of this multiplication of appeals: “I will exaggerate voluntarily. The League puts a red card on a player, he appeals. He was not happy with the result, he appealed to the FFF. He is still dissatisfied, he goes to the CNOSF, it comes back here. He is not yet satisfied, he is going to court. Frankly ... I think we have made significant improvements in respecting the decisions of the authorities. It is far too long for many decisions. Too many decisions, even. We have entered a system that no longer corresponds to a reality. I will not go so far as to ask for a sports court, but still ... We need more speed in decisions, except in the case of an accident or a collapsed forum. For the rest, the soap operas are often endless for details. ” In this case, it will still last a few weeks ... Even if Amiens and Toulouse have already celebrated their maintenance.
