The noose is tightening a little more each day. For Noël Le Graët, current president of the FFF, the future looks almost like a dead end. This Tuesday, it was Patrick Anton, the president of the National Ethics Council of the FFF, who called for his resignation in an interview with The Team. For him, the instance needs a power “who is strong and serene“.
“Regarding the president of the Federation, if obviously we do not intend to seize a disciplinary committee, we can only ask him to withdraw, in the best interests of footballhe added. We don’t want to shoot an ambulance either, since we can see that it’s coming out everywhere. But we are not going to spoil the good financial and sporting results of the FFF with a soap opera that is more a matter of the page of miscellaneous facts than of the football section..”
For the former referee, “NLG” held “words that show that he has lost some of his lucidity“.”He is a man who is tired, who needs to move on. Governing a Federation which has two million licensees presupposes that one does not lose his calm and serenity as he did. We must find a strong course“, he believes. As revealed L’Equipe and RMC Sport Tuesday afternoonNoël Le Graët convened an extraordinary executive committee at the French Football Federation on Wednesday morning.
