Lens' preparations for their return to Ligue 1 have been hit after being handed a ban on signing new players. The northern club finally had their promotion to the top flight rubber-stamped on appeal after it was initially prevented - despite them finishing second in Ligue 2 last season - for failing to provide sufficient financial guarantees.
Could this affect us In any way possable edd just wanted to ask the question cause it's all leading back to the same financial difficulties.

The article does not make clear if the 4m euros "owed" by Lens was extra money promised by HM and not delivered - or, if it was inserted by Martel into his submission as a means of getting round the objections of the regulator. Hope it is the latter. Anyway, the French have seemed less than straightforward in their dealings thus far.

Starman closest to truth I think, majority of French press comments that can see little justification for ban other than spite and revenge for Lens winning the appeal.
A couple of articles suggesting that Lens have more funds available than half of the other clubs in the league, so hard to believe its related to money.
