Yann Roubert, une arrivée sans heurts à la tête de la LNR

Une transition en douceur : seul candidat après le retrait du sortant René Bouscatel, le président de Lyon Yann Roubert a été élu à la tête de la Ligue nationale de rugby (LNR) sans heurt jeudi, dans une élection où le rugby professionnel français a voulu montrer son unité.

Si l’assemblée générale de la LNR, réunie à Paris dans un hôtel du 12e arrondissement, a officiellement désigné Roubert président jeudi, c’est la veille que tout s’est joué, lors d’un vote informel entre les trente présidents de clubs professionnels, où Bouscatel n’a pu que constater un retard impossible à combler.

L’ancien président du Stade Toulousain (1992-2017), aujourd’hui âgé de 78 ans, a choisi de se retirer, afin d’éviter le scénario de 2021, où le rugby professionnel s’était déchiré lorsqu’il avait défié tous les pronostics en remportant son duel face au président rochelais Vincent Merling.

Âgé de 47 ans, Roubert, à la tête du LOU depuis 2012, a donc été proposé à l’unanimité par le comité directeur, puis élu à l’unanimité par l’Assemblée générale. Il devient le cinquième président de la Ligue nationale de rugby, après Serge Blanco (1998-2008), Pierre-Yves Revol (2008-2012), Paul Goze (2012-2020) et Bouscatel, qui reste malgré tout élu au comité directeur de la LNR.

Tout en déclarant son désir de « modernité » devant la presse, Roubert a assuré que ce mot « ne veut absolument pas dire rupture », remerciant ses prédécesseurs, dont Bouscatel.

Roubert plaide l’« intransigeance » sur le salary cap

« J’espère que nous aurons une Ligue qui sera forte », a déclaré le nouveau président. « Je voudrais qu’on soit unis : les élections sont passées, qu’on regarde devant », a ajouté le président de Lyon, qui quittera bientôt son poste.

Soutenu par plusieurs opposants à Bouscatel, dont le président bayonnais Philippe Tayeb et le Castrais Pierre-Yves Revol, Roubert n’a jamais renié le bon bilan de la mandature précédente, dont il s’est dit de nouveau « solidaire » : affluences et audiences en hausse, résultats brillants des clubs français en Champions Cup, droits TV sécurisés.

Roubert aura parmi ses principales missions de poursuivre le chantier du plafond salarial (salary cap) des clubs, fixé jusqu’à 2027 mais dont le montant et les modalités font débat.

« J’ai toujours plaidé pour une baisse modérée et progressive du salary cap », a déclaré Roubert, qui veut laisser les présidents de club trouver un accord sur le sujet : si le président de la LNR impulse des dossiers, il reste largement tributaire des rapports de force entre les clubs.

Sans se prononcer sur la médiation en cours entre le Stade Toulousain et la LNR sur le dossier du transfert de Melvyn Jaminet, où d’après les révélations du quotidien L’Équipe le club aurait cherché à contourner le salary cap, Roubert a cependant appelé à « une intransigeance totale sur les sanctions » liées aux dépassements du salary cap.

Roussel devra gérer les relations avec la FFR

Il a ajouté souhaiter une « aggravation des sanctions en cas de récidive » sur une infraction au règlement du salary cap, mais là encore s’en remet aux présidents de club.

Le nouveau patron de la LNR devra également gérer les relations avec la Fédération française de rugby, apaisées depuis plusieurs années mais qui pourraient se compliquer en raison de la situation financière difficile de la FFR, qui souhaite par exemple organiser un quatrième match du XV de France en novembre.

« Les relations avec la Fédération devront évidemment être très étroites », a dit Roubert, tout en reconnaissant que « on ne sera pas d’accord sur tout et qu’on aura des sujets difficiles à traiter parfois ».

Avant cela, Roubert devra rapidement trancher sur sa situation personnelle.

En quittant la présidence du LOU et sans autre source de revenus, il avait souhaité pendant la campagne que la fonction bénévole de président de la LNR devienne rémunérée, ce qui avait braqué certains patrons de club. « J’ai toujours été transparent sur le sujet, c’est une conviction et pas une condition », a-t-il assuré.

Hello everyone here, I am here to warn you to please do not make the same mistake I made in the past, I was a victim of a bitcoin scam. I’m so glad that I have gotten all my funds back without any stress thanks to CYBERSPACE HACK PRO company. For me. I am posting this review because I want to be of help to someone out there going through a lot to recover their bitcoin even though many people told me it’s impossible. I invested about $632,000 from a Binary Operation company I found on Telegram. After much depositing, I decided to withdraw after several weeks but the withdrawal wasn’t successful. I contacted the binary operation through their email and phone number, though I didn’t get any response from them and that was when everything clicked that I was scammed. Some weeks later I got an email from them insisting I should invest more money if I want to withdraw my money which I rejected, and I never heard from them again. I was really devastated at this moment and felt so bad that my hard earned money was gone. Then I was introduced to this wonderful recovery company Called CYBER SPACE HACK PRO company, so I emailed them Cyberspacehackpro(@)rescueteam.com explained to them what happened and all I had to do was to follow there instructions so they can help me recover my funds which they did and i got all my money back i am so happy i decided to share my good news for those that are having same issues should contact them via
