It's sad to see the next big French club relegated due to financial troubles. Honestly, the French league is so completely broken that it seems possible that we will not be referring to the top five leagues any more in a few years.

Both the meddling by Qatar and the terrible tv deal a few years ago have broken the back of too many french clubs. Perhaps, after hosting the world cup and finally also purchasing the Champions League, Qatar could even lose interest? Such a scenario might even see France drop below the likes of the Netherlands and Portugal in terms of league coefficients.

That's sad man.

I always blamed PSG for whats going on in Ligue 1

It's absolutely PSG's fault. But at the same time, there's also more eyes on Ligue 1 than ever before.

PSG, really fuck the French league, didn't they? I mean going from the most stabile in Europe to a lot of the big clubs going down is crazy.

The Premier League are determined to let Man City do the same to the English league because how has this 115 thing not been resolved yet.
