It's sad to see the next big French club relegated due to financial troubles. Honestly, the French league is so completely broken that it seems possible that we will not be referring to the top five leagues any more in a few years.

Both the meddling by Qatar and the terrible tv deal a few years ago have broken the back of too many french clubs. Perhaps, after hosting the world cup and finally also purchasing the Champions League, Qatar could even lose interest? Such a scenario might even see France drop below the likes of the Netherlands and Portugal in terms of league coefficients.
