INEOS-owned French club Nice were the the subject of shocking and violent scenes outside their training ground.

The supporters were furious over a dreadful run of form that has seen Nice lose six games in a row.
The Ligue 1 side are languishing in 10th place in the league and are bottom of the UEFA Europa League standings.
Violent Nice protests
Footmercato reports that supporters chanted “Move you ar*es” and demanded the resignation of sporting director Florian Maurice.
The protests then turned violent. It is reported that one Nice supporter made his way onto the team bus and threatened the players, demanding that they get off.
The players then left the bus where Jérémie Boga and Terem Moffi were physically attacked by fans.
Nigeria’s Terem Moffi & Jérémie Boga were both attacked by 400 fans after 3-1 loss to Lorient 😡
Players spat on, kicked & racially abused. Moffi even placed on sick leave after being targeted for joking with Lorient president.

Fans are said to have targetted these two players because Boga invited Marseille supporters to watch the 5-1 home thrashing by Marseille last week, while Moffi was seen lauging with Lorient staff after the loss on Sunday.
Both players were kicked, spat on and slapped by supporters, while Maurice was also hit.
The incident has caused shockwaves through the club and French football.
It is also the last thing that Sir Jim Ratcliffe and INEOS needed given they are already under severe pressure having struggled so badly since taking over Manchester United.
