Wtf. Apparently the manager laughed it off
Many things though they slowly been declining since the mid 2010s realistically
- a bad transition from the Aulas era leading to fukkery with Aulas
- a youth development system that isnt outputting as much talent as before which is a huge issue as OL had a Barça-like project centered around it.
- they built a stadium and like Arsenal back then, they chose to have a strategy of buying talent for the low to sell them high to La Liga or the EPL (Lacaz, Ndombele, Mendy...) which is not a sustainable project
- homegrown talent not living up to expectations and not selling well or too early
- a team that isn't attractive to foreign talent anymore compared to the 2000s
- ego issues between management (why Juninho left as sport director)
- bad coach choices (Sylvinho, Garcia, Bosz, Blanc... Now Grosso)
- supporters/ultras having players shook
They looking prime for Ligue 2 right now... Kinda like Bordeaux did 2 years ago.
that's what that lil disrespectful fakkit Marcos Leonardo gets.
