The microphone is off, it's time to come home John.
In full swing at RMC, John Textor has revealed his recipe for a Ligue 1 that is more visible abroad. Starting from the observation that “the product shown by the League on TV, in general, is rubbish”,he president of OL described ways to improve French football: independence between the DNCG and the LFP, cheaper stadium tickets (“An empty stadium is horrible on TV”)higher standards of television broadcasting, and greater storytelling. And for thatthe example is not glorious : “We need to tell stories: why watch this or that match? Why Le Havre? Where is it? In Normandy? What's the weather like there? Are the girls pretty? »
Obviously not satisfied, the president of OL started: “Same for Paris FC with a billionaire who bought it. Who is he? Who does he get along with? Who does he hate? The wife of the owner of Rennes is Salma Hayek, that too we should be able to talk about. […] The product we show to the world must be sexy. Everyone loves France too. You love to make fun of us Americans. We are obese, we dress poorly, we buy anything and everything when we are in France. But we love France! So why can't we represent France on television or radio? »
No Bahamas with Jean-Michel Aulas
Another thing: John Textor and Jean-Michel Aulas are not the best friends in the world. « We agreed with Jean-Michel Aulas to make a clean sweep of the past. Obviously, he hasn't turned the page. He told me I didn't know too much about football, but I amassed some nice trophies in South America. […] He needs to put the past behind him. I was invited to buy this club, and I'm helping this club. We are in the Europa League and we are going to return to the Champions League”sent the American, who bought the club from JMA in 2022. The latter had criticized him for being someone “quite elusive on a logical level.”
At least he has an agenda.
