Seems a little harsh on Nice since Payet escalated things by throwing an item at the crowd. Deducted 2 points and could lose further 3 from this game where they were 1-0 when the game was suspended

L’Équipe have broken down the much-scrutinised transfer of striker Victor Osimhen from Lille to Napoli in the summer of 2020, revealing that the current title holders only received around €36m out of the €71.3m fee.
Former Lille president Gérard Lopez had explained to RMC after the transfer that the transaction was set at €71.3m along with €10m in potential bonuses. Speaking to La Voix du Nord, current president Oliver Létang reported the fee to be only €68m, with the current club management indicating that only €10m has been brought in by the Nigerian’s move.
According to the documents read by L’Équipe, the €10m bonus brought up by Lopez is dependent on Napoli reaching the Champions League quarter-finals over the next four years – €2.5m for every time the Italians reach the last eight.
Part of the €71.3m fee includes €20m made up of four players which went the opposite way, a transaction which allowed Napoli to ease their Financial Fair Play obligations by registering incoming transfer fees. Gérard Lopez had accepted the offer as a result of the immediate cash injection it would provide, contrary to offers from other teams who would have paid in instalments.
One of these players is goalkeeper Orestis Karnezis, who is currently injured and has played one match so far with Les Dogues. The three others are Italian players whose contracts have been terminated and currently play in the lower leagues – Ciro Palmieri, Luigi Liguori, Claudio Manzi. All three young players were evidently sold for far beyond their worth, having been earning between €5,000 and €10,000 a month at the time of their sales.
LOSC were also made to pay out €3m of the transfer fee to Osimhen’s previous clubs in compensation, under FIFA’s recent scheme. An additional €8.3m was paid out to Charleroi as a signing-on fee. €6m are to go towards agents’ fees, although these are currently blocked by the club, who are investigating the legal nature of these.
Finally, Lille also paid interest on a loan from Banca Ifis, who billed the payment of the transfer fee in return for an interest rate of 4%. Lille received €40m from Banca Ifis. According to an internal souce, Osimhen brought in €36m to the club, which greatly relieved its financial issues during the summer of 2020.
Although this would mean clubs controlling players from a young age and dictating their career moves.For once he says something that makes sense...
The problem nowadays is that greedy, cunning agents now control players from a young age and dictates their career moves.
There would be a huge danger of young players being held for years and not playing. 3 years is enough. It would be wrong to have 16yr olds tied down for 6 years. I feel accept that some teams have found themselves ripped off but what he is asking for is excessive.Well, it's clubs and not the agents who are investing time, money, and energy into these players; so it's fairer that the clubs have some control of their players rather than greedy agents whose only interest in making money does it.
Aulas was talking about the 1st pro contract of academy players. There should be some "payback" attached to signing for a club that spends time and money to develop youth players. From what I understand (correct me if I'm wrong) is that in France, after your max contract of 3 years expires the concerning player can leave for free. And, clubs - who complain about greedy agents - are more than happy to pounce on other clubs' talents. It's a bit like the clubs shooting themselves in the foot.I do agree fully with you that agents need sorting out. They are as menace and should not have that level of influence over young players who are still children. I just don't think they way to deal with that is to hand the balance of power to the clubs. 3 years is plenty I think, as frustrating as that is for clubs. Even seasoned professionals would probably think twice about signing a 6 year deal. It's why our own Harry finds himself in a career pickle.
Fabregas' legs went years ago. There is almost zero creativity in that midfield.They have many players in the midfield , Tchou / Fofana / Lucas / Fabregas
Their creative players/wingers are infuriating. I bet they are sorry they sold Faivre. He could really give them something extra.and their wingers are good , Diop / Gerson but they failed with Pelligrini (25M) for a big bid and Geubbels too , they did a flop.
