John Texter, Lyon's majority owner, assessed the likelihood of the team's relegation from the French top flight.
- "We are too strong for this, we are not in the place we should be in the standings. I don't see any threat of relegation, but the season will be mediocre, it's obvious," said John Texter.
We would like to add that after 9 rounds, Lyon is in last place in Ligue 1.
