← Division 1 1991/92 | |
The Division 1 1992/93 was the 55th staging of the professional French football league. It was the only season so far (as of January 2018) in which no champions were chosen; Olympique Marseille , who led the table after 38 matchdays , was subsequently stripped of the title and also not awarded the runner-up (see the chapter on the "OM-VA affair" below) .
The first game day was August 8, 1992, the last game day was June 2, 1993. From December 20 to January 8, there was a three-week “winter break”.
societies
The clubs that had finished the previous season no worse than 17th were eligible to participate, as well as two direct promoters from the second division and the winner of the relegation round . Thus, the following teams played for the championship title this season:
- three clubs from the far north ( Lille OSC , Racing Lens , promoted US Valenciennes-Anzin ),
- two from Paris and Bourgogne ( Paris Saint-Germain , AJ Auxerre ),
- three from the northeast ( FC Metz , FC Sochaux , relegation winner Racing Strasbourg ),
- three from the northwest ( Le Havre AC , SM Caen , FC Nantes Atlantique ),
- two from the southwest ( Toulouse FC , promoted Girondins Bordeaux ),
- seven from the southeast ( AS Saint-Étienne , Olympique Lyon , HSC Montpellier , Olympique Nîmes , defending champions Olympique Marseille , Sporting Toulon-Var , AS Monaco ).
Season course
The two-point rule applied ; in the event of a tie, the goal difference was decisive for the placement.
The season began with a small anniversary, as it was the 50th year in France's top division for FC Sochaux. Otherwise, the season went as expected, as far as the championship contenders were concerned, and the French public also enjoyed the success of Marseille in the European championship competition . In the first three quarters the usual favorites at the top had alternated; at the beginning it was the PSG capital club, reinforced by the millions of sponsors from Canal + , then Nantes and finally Monaco; the Monegasque benefited from their home strength, which was ultimately reflected in an almost flawless record of 17 wins and only two draws at the Stade Louis II . On matchday 30, Marseille finally moved up to first place in the division 1 table and did not give it up until the end. What followed was the OM-VA affair and the retroactive withdrawal of the championship title (see below ) .
At the bottom of the table, Toulon and especially Nîmes were relegated to Division 2 relatively early on; Bottom line Nîmes won a total of only three games, and only one of them in front of their own audience. The two teams were replaced the following season by the second division SCO Angers and FC Martigues ; due to their victory in the Barrages, AS Cannes joined them as the third climber .

The "OM-VA Affair"
Olympique Marseille, which was leading the table by four points at the time, had to face Valenciennes-Anzin on the third from last matchday, which urgently needed every point against relegation. Six days later, OM had to contest the Champions League final against AC Milan and therefore requested that the match be postponed; however, this had been rejected by the association. As a result, Marseille midfielder Jean-Jacques Eydelie telephoned on behalf of General Manager Jean-Pierre Bernès with three of the opponent's players, whom he knew personally from previous years together. Jorge Burruchaga , Jacques Glassmann and Christophe Robert finally agreed to do their part for 250,000 francs (around 38,000 euros) each so that OM would not lose at the Stade Nungesser ; Glassmann later referred to this with a term from cycling as "putting your feet up" (lever les pieds) . The money was handed over to one of the players' women in cash at the team hotel in Marseille, and Valenciennes actually lost the game 1-0. However, Glassmann had had a remorse and confessed the attempted bribe to his coach Boro Primorac and the club president before the game ; They then protested to the referee at half-time, and journalists had also heard of the process during the game.
The Ligaverband Ligue de Football Professionnel (LFP) canceled the match result at relatively short notice - it was considered a defeat for both teams - and the Federal Council of the Fédération Française de Football decided to withdraw the championship title in September. Later in 1993, the Valenciennes Public Prosecutor clarified the facts; she described the fraud as "manipulation out of the power of habit". In particular, OM President Bernard Tapie , a successful entrepreneur and French minister until March 1993, and the club's financial conduct became the focus of the investigations. The report found that with a deficit of around 400 million francs, expenditures between 110 and 160 million could not be substantiated. In addition, Tapie is said to have tried in June 1993 to induce Valenciennes' coach Primorac to give false testimony with a large sum of money. After the new season was already in full swing, Marseille was not transferred to the second division by the LFP until the 1994/95 season . Valenciennes had already been relegated in the barrages and was not sanctioned any further. The European Football Association also punished the 1993 Champions League winner, who was not allowed to play the Super Cup final or take part in the 1993/94 Champions League .
In May 1995, judgments were made against the parties before the Tribunal Correctionnel of Valenciennes. Tapie was sentenced to two years imprisonment, including one year probation (only slightly reduced on appeal), a fine of 20,000 francs and a three-year ban on working; a combination of probation and fines was also imposed on Bernès (two years, FF 15,000), Eydelie (one year, FF 10,000), Burruchaga and Robert (six months each, FF 5,000), and Robert's wife received three as a "purse" Months on probation.
