Mark Kheirallah: Toulouse Olympique form down to fun factor


After returning to the English leagues in 2016 after a four-year absence, Toulouse won the League One title in their first campaign.

In the following season, they had ambitions of reaching the top four and a place in Super League but those were checked as they finished fifth.

This season, however, a top-four berth in the Championship was secured.

“Considering it’s only our third year in the English competition, to see how far we’ve come is a massive achievement,” Kheirallah added.

“Last year we set our expectations a bit too high and we got a bit ahead of ourselves, you come crashing down pretty quickly, so this year we just aimed to make the top four and then see what happens.

“It’s a step forward, and it’s a better set-up for us, because when we don’t have pressure, we play better.”
