RC Lens are facing difficult times. Such are their problems that they could be expelled from the professional leagues altogether.
Last season they were denied promotion from Ligue 2 to Ligue 1 because of financial irregularities. The decision was overturned on appeal, but they are having to deal with Ligue 1 with a squad assembled for Ligue 2. They are also having to play away from their stadium while it is renovated for Euro 2016.

They thought they had found a financial saviour in Azerbaijan’s Hafiz Mammadov. But he encountered financial problems and can’t help them any more.
