It was an important day for Jean Michel Aulas. As confirmed in a press release from OL, the president of Les Gones faced the deputies on Tuesday. “He exchanged with the deputies of the information mission on the audiovisual broadcasting rights of sport“, explains OL in its press release, revealing the main proposals made during speeches. Here are the five main ones to remember:
A recovery plan through investment
“The PGE (State Guaranteed Loan) has played its role perfectly for the clubs. Without him, some would be in bankruptcy. What is important now is to restart the activity. For a sector like football which wants to relaunch very quickly with entrepreneurs, there is a lack of a device that would support those who have projects that generate jobs, whether in terms of the construction of halls, stadiums, productive projects of traditional businesses“, first explained Jean-Michel Aulas in front of deputies, specifying that the”banks are cautious” according to him. “I imagine that we could make sure to facilitate the recovery, to allow those who have projects to create jobs to benefit from a sort of investment EMP.“.

The idea of a “football Spotify”
To justify this at least original proposal, JMA explained that the idea “is to offer a structure that allows you to find what you need“.
“We realize that a supporter of Marseille would eventually like to acquire the rights of his favorite team in all competitions. Today, if he wants to have access to his favorite team, he must go and acquire the rights of all the teams in the French Championship, and then if Marseille plays in the European Cup, as is the case this year, all European rights. There was this desire to try to think about how the user can find what he wants at a cost acceptable to the greatest number and which allows him to retain his loyalty. I think that today we are not in that solution“, he estimated.
Health pass for the stadium
Regarding the rather delicate subject of the return to the stadium, Jean-Michel Aulas gave his point of view after having organized two friendly matches on July 17 at Groupama Stadium: “We managed to bring in 8,000 people, all with a health pass. When they did not have a Health Pass, we had antigenic tests, the vaccination center was open for supporters who wanted it without having to make an appointment. We always try to bring a global solution to people’s lives.”
The creation of a commercial company of the LFP
Regarding the LFP, the president of OL believes that the “creation of a commercial company is a will of all French clubs“. “This structure is practically present in all countries. Since the league distributes all the TV rights for the clubs, this company would make it possible to professionalize, internalize and manage the attribution of these same rights.“, he added, explaining that”many investors are interested in the medium and long term in financing related to TV rights“.
Infrastructure and reform of the first professional contract
Still in this desire to reform football, Aulas thinks it is important for French clubs to become owners of their infrastructure. “For example, most English clubs own their stadiums, so do Spanish clubs, Italian clubs try to do so. They are doing pretty well. On our side, there are traditional models in France which have not facilitated this structure of costs and environments.“, he explained. Before returning to the question of the first professional contract.
“Discussions are underway so that the first pro contract will be, not for 3 years, but for 5 or 6 years, and to ensure that the clubs which train players have the certainty that they are not leaving for free. outside. A player who arrives at the end of his training contract in France has the possibility, if he does not sign his first professional contract, to go abroad for free. So there is an obvious loss“, lamented JMA.
