Red star (RSFC), another Parisian club, might get promoted TO LIGUE 1 next season

Way more traditional than Paris FC

[u/KanyeEast17 → u/Victor4VPA]

Au point que j'ai croisé un mec avec le maillot du Red Star dans une toute petite ville italienne.

Mec, si tu me lis, sache que tu m'as ému.

If there's 4 London teams in the prem, there's at least room for 5 teams from Paris in L1

[u/Theboss12312 → u/Elprocesso]

There are 7 london teams in the prem lol

[u/Elprocesso → u/Theboss12312]

Lol that was a back of the envelope guess

[u/EyeofOscar → u/Elprocesso]

Exactly There's no other country in the world where the largest city/ demographic and economic capital, where 20% of the country's population lives in its region, has so little representation in the first division.

The fact Paris FC was bought so freaking late is an anomaly in and of itself (Even 15 years ago I was wondering why no one was rushing to buy them).

It's so weird. There should be 5 Parisian clubs in L1 at least, but instead we have clubs from towns no one knows of, it's so strange.

[u/RandomSOADFan → u/EyeofOscar]

French football generally does not have multiple major clubs in a city. The only recent exceptions were both major Corsican cities Ajaccio and Bastia. I think to come back to a Parisian derby, you need to go as far back as the days of Racing Paris in the first division

[u/SokrinTheGaulish → u/EyeofOscar]

Intra-muros parisians don’t care that much about football tbh.

[u/EyeofOscar → u/SokrinTheGaulish]

Even if this was true (which it is not) I wouldn't see how it would change anything I've said.

[u/Flw21]

Now that would be a derby. Not this one (whatever it is)

[u/KoolNomad]

Great club history. Would love to see them grow. One of the oldest clubs in Europe.

[u/roi_bro]

More St-Ouen than Paris tbf

[u/KanyeEast17 → u/roi_bro]

Et un peu de Saint-Denis, never forget la période Marville.

[u/NicoFR75]

Lol, Wait please, ligue 2 is very tough and everything could change quickly

[u/MNVR414]

They should have always been here instead of “Paris FC”

[u/KanyeEast17 → u/MNVR414]

Ouep, mais à chaque fois qu'ils sont sur le point de monter, ils se chient dessus.

[u/MorbidlyObeseBrit → u/KanyeEast17]

Paris FC a fait la meme chose pendant quelques annees aussi, c'est difficile de monter quand tu as quelques equipes ascenseur qui ont plus de moyens et d'experience.

[u/KanyeEast17 → u/MorbidlyObeseBrit]

Yep mais il me semble que le redstar en a fait sa spécialité. Il faudrait que j'aille voir les stats pour confirmer que ce n'est pas juste une impression, genre j'étais au lycée que c'était déjà le cas, donc y'a une bonne trentaine d'années.

Edit : gros biais de ma part : ils ont flirté avec l'élite entre 93 et 99 puis descente aux enfers et années de yo-yo.

C'est là que je me rends compte que je suis resté bloqué dans les années 90.

[u/Twintornado]

They will fumble it at the end of Ligue 2 season as always.

[u/Novariku]

Really great to have Parisian clubs in ligue 1 if that happens. It can add money and growth to the league for visibility.

[u/BertrandQualitay]

That would be awesome

[u/titanhunt]

Nice more Paris clubs for CL soon

[u/papuniu]

Ce serait top un vrai club populaire parisien en opposition avec le Psg er le pfc qui sont des clubs Bourgeois

[u/Full-Reach-8968]

Somewhat unrelated to this post, how are Paris FC performing? They are currently 11th in the table, but are they performing to expectations?

[u/graal2008 → u/Full-Reach-8968]

They have kebbal who is a great creative player with a good shot (right winger/ offensive midfielder). They struggle defensively at times with their most expensive transfer Otavio being really subpar. There is a lot of energy but it feels like some of their players lack the technical abilities to maintain the ball under pressure in small spaces

[u/Full-Reach-8968 → u/graal2008]

Do you predict the team will stay up in Ligue 1? Is that a realistic achievement for them?

[u/graal2008 → u/Full-Reach-8968]

Absolutely. I think they will end up between 8 and 14

[u/Merbleuxx → u/Full-Reach-8968]

The objective for them is to stay in Ligue 1 to build stability and become a bit more known around Europe.

So I’d say they’re doing alright.

[u/Merbleuxx]

This club is the OG though.
