Increasingly contested at the head of the LFP, Vincent Labrune was not spared this Sunday in Lens.
RC Lens beat Stade Brestois this Sunday in a match counting for the second half of Ligue 1 (2-0). A championship match played in Bollaert’s lair which took on the appearance of a grandstand for the Artois supporters, clearly angry with the president of the Professional Football League.
In recent weeks, Vincent Labrune has been going through a media storm, he the embodiment of an LFP that failed in the allocation of TV rights – painfully sold 500 million euros over the period 2024-2029 against the expected 800 million. All with a considerable increase in the price of subscriptions for L1 followers, via DAZN and beIN Sports.
“The jerk, the dick and the crook”
” TV rights negotiations: your amateurism is killing French football “, we could read in the Blood and Gold aisles this Sunday. Not without a message directly addressed to the boss of French professional football, in flowery terms and according to a cinematographic reference: ” The idiot, the dick and the crook: 3 names for one president. »
Candidate for his own succession during the next elections of the LFP bureau scheduled for September 10, Vincent Labrune must face the emergence of dissident voices within the French football industry itself. No less than six contenders have already declared themselves: Karl Olive, Alain Guerrini, Cyril Linette, Stéphane Martin, Christophe Bouchet and Gervais Martel.
