Officially a candidate for the presidency of the FFF since December 15, Frédéric Thiriez continues to appear in the media to try to win votes. And if he had to communicate in the face of the reproaches made to him concerning the Luzenac affair, the former boss of the LFP raised a completely different subject on the set of Paris Premiere : the TV rights case with Mediapro. The opportunity for him to tackle the former management of the League and the duo Didier Quillot-Nathalie Boy de la Tour.
“It bothers me to criticize the actions of my predecessors, but personally, I would never have signed a contract with Mediapro. Why ? It is a company that has a very bad reputation internationally. It is not a broadcaster, it is a rights dealer. Chinese shareholders. If there is a dispute and you get a court decision, go and have it executed in China. Finally, you never put all your eggs in one basket. I was president for 14 years, I made four calls for tenders, I multiplied the rights by three, but I still had a rule which was to always have two clients! A good hearer.
