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.
Lyon always had the strategy of buying low sell high. The Michel Bastos/Gourcuff era is when it started to decline fall off. That's when they started to push/look for CL or to get to the semis and beyond. So they started paying higher and then that failed and that's when they were having money issues because they over spent. Even in Benzema last season they were spending more than what they were bringing in on sales.
It's funny Aulas took them to the promise land and stayed there long enough to become the Villain. I knew Lyon were phucked when they had to sell Martial for 5m to Monaco because Gomis wouldn't leave. And thats a decade ago. Which in a way is kinda poetic justice because Aulas would openly say he was all about ripping off PL teams.
To not even get a metro card for Aouar is criminal considering it made it obvious he wanted to move on like 3 years before he did leave

We've seen this before from Barca. A gang of youngers all coming up at the same time. If they keep Joao they could be a problem

Must be nice watching the team you support play great football.
As a Gooner, I am obligate to hate him. But he's SO fukking good.
Just need Fulham to get a fluke goal from Paulinha and take some points off these man.
