She speaks so well, I really hope she can deliver on her words and revitalise OL.

Lettre de Michele Kang : « Un nouveau chapitre pour l’Olympique Lyonnais »

Chers supporters,

Aujourd'hui marque un nouveau départ plein d'espoir pour l'Olympique Lyonnais.

Après une période difficile, nous tournons la page et allons de l'avant ensemble avec une détermination renouvelée. Je m'engage pleinement dans cette aventure et je suis vraiment impatiente d'écrire ce nouveau chapitre aux côtés de chacun d'entre vous.

Au nom de toute l'équipe dirigeante de l'OL, je tiens à vous remercier personnellement pour votre soutien indéfectible et votre remarquable résilience. Vous avez soutenu le club dans les moments les plus difficiles, et votre passion n'a jamais faibli. Votre énergie les jours de match, tant à l'intérieur du stade qu'à l'extérieur, a été notre plus grande source de force. Elle nous a permis de surmonter les moments de doute. Cette même énergie nous a aidés à réaliser ce que beaucoup qualifient déjà de miracle dans le monde du sport : sauver l'Olympique Lyonnais non pas une, mais deux fois en moins d'un an.

Nous n'oublierons jamais d'où nous venons, mais notre regard est résolument tourné vers un avenir meilleur. Rien n'aurait été possible sans vous, et nous vous devons d'honorer votre confiance et votre fidélité.

Ensemble, nous allons reconstruire le club et lui redonner la place qui lui revient parmi l'élite européenne, au service de notre communauté et du football français. Avec vous à nos côtés, nous posons les fondations d'une culture de haute performance, d'unité, d'excellence et de responsabilité.

Ensemble, écrivons un nouveau chapitre glorieux de l'Histoire de l'Olympique Lyonnais, un chapitre qui honore notre passé, célèbre notre présent et inspire notre avenir.

Avec ma plus profonde gratitude,

Michele Kang

Letter from Michele Kang: “A New Chapter for Olympique Lyonnais”

Dear Supporters,

Today marks a new and hopeful beginning for Olympique Lyonnais.

After a difficult period, we are turning the page and moving forward together with renewed determination. I am fully committed to this journey and truly excited to write this new chapter alongside each and every one of you.

On behalf of the entire OL leadership team, I would like to personally thank you for your unwavering support and remarkable resilience. You have stood by the club through the toughest times, and your passion has never wavered. Your energy on match days — both inside the stadium and beyond — has been our greatest source of strength. It has carried us through moments of doubt and helped us achieve what many are already calling a miracle in the world of sport: saving Olympique Lyonnais not once, but twice in less than a year.

We will never forget where we came from, but our eyes are firmly fixed on a brighter future. Nothing would have been possible without you, and we owe it to you to honor your trust and loyalty.

Together, we will rebuild the club and restore it to its rightful place among Europe’s elite, proudly serving our community and French football. With you by our side, we are laying the foundations for a culture of high performance, unity, excellence, and responsibility.

Together, let us write a proud new chapter in Olympique Lyonnais’ history — one that honors our past, celebrates our present, and inspires our future.

With deepest gratitude, Michele

If England aren’t settled on Ahmed or Jacks as their spin/all rounder option, I think Sam Curran has to be in the conversation to come in at 7 as the new all rounder for test matches.

[Liam Wraith @liamwraith22]

Pickford is such a bad goalkeeper. It’s beyond me how he’s considered England’s best.

@OL Can you bring him home?

[Liam Wraith @liamwraith22]

France were superb again tonight. I can’t recall an international team with such attacking riches before that manages to find a perfect balance.

[Liam Wraith @liamwraith22]

I like Mateus Fernandes, but £85m is wild. Potential is expensive but this feels like a massive overspend.

[David Ornstein @David_Ornstein]

🚨 EXCLUSIVE: Tottenham Hotspur win race to sign Mateus Fernandes from West Ham United. Spurs submitted highest proposal (believed to be ~£85m guaranteed) & 21yo #WHUFC midfielder opted to join #THFC. Numbers beyond where #MUFC willing to go @TheAthleticFC https://t.co/8JMyfl8LoS

Worrying news regarding George Hill's heart palpitations. Hopefully, he isn't out for too long and the problem is nothing serious. He would be a big loss. Speedy recovery, George!

[Liam Wraith @liamwraith22]

Looks like the losing streak for Yorkshire extends to 12 years at Queens Park…

[Liam Wraith @liamwraith22]

Leclerc is a sitting duck.

[Liam Wraith @liamwraith22]

Ferrari’s pace is so poor. After the win in Barcelona, this is such a regression.

[Liam Wraith @liamwraith22]

Dreadful start for Yorkshire from a bowling sense. 53-1 after 4 overs, Derbyshire walking down the wicket and gaps all over for boundaries to be hit…

[Liam Wraith @liamwraith22]

That Verstappen, Hamilton exchange. Wow.

[Liam Wraith @liamwraith22]

The Ferraris don’t have the pace in these conditions. Verstappen on the other hand, could easily challenge Russell here.

[Liam Wraith @liamwraith22]

Leclerc is dropping like a led balloon. Horrible start.

[Liam Wraith @liamwraith22]

Joe Root is as good as if not better spinner than Shoaib Bashir…

[Liam Wraith @liamwraith22]

With Joe Root at the crease anything can happen, but this batting performance from England has been poor on what looks a decent surface.

[England Cricket @englandcricket]

You look up, and Joe Root's on 14,000 Test runs.

[Liam Wraith @liamwraith22]

I’m loving Hasan Ali’s batting at Yorkshire. He just comes out hitting and the ball stays hit.

[Liam Wraith @liamwraith22]

What does the Munoz signing mean to the pursuit of Diomande or Barcola, I wonder.
