The financial situation of Olympique Lyonnais is extreme to say the least, since the DNCG has decided to sanction John Textor's club. The owner of OL is extremely worried.
John Textor is an anachronistic leader in French Football, the successor to Jean-Michel Aulas not being one to mince his words. We saw him face off alone against Nasser Al-Khelaifi and Vincent Labrune in the Ligue 1 TV rights issue, but we also heard him attack the DNCG when the latter pointed out to him that he had not at all kept his financial commitments and did not guarantee rapid settlement of a debt that had become colossal.
But this time, the boss of Eagle Football Group is not making anyone smile, because Olympique Lyonnais is now threatened with brutal relegation at the end of the season. John Textor is at the heart of a real hurricane, even if he repeats that he has the means to quickly rectify the situation by providing the DNCG with proof that OL's accounts will not be in the red at the end of the season. For Pierre Ménès, the time has come for Textor to tell the truth and to no longer look for excuses to justify the current state of the club's accounts.
Textor worries him very much
On his YouTube channel, the former member of Canal Football Club does not hide a certain apprehension regarding the current situation of Olympique Lyonnais. “ They were already obliged to sell in the summer transfer window, and where OL had to sell for 100 million euros, they sold for 40ME. Once again, John Textor's management is catastrophic. And the way he defends himself by saying that it was the DNCG that didn't know how to count, it's pathetic. It hurts my heart to see a club which was built stone by stone by Jean-Michel Aulas and which is being squandered, because OL have already abandoned a lot of things since Textor was there. I am very worried, and sportingly too because if you lose Fofana and Cherki in the winter transfer window, the team will not be the same » points out Pierre Ménès, who has moderate confidence in John Textor's ability to resolve all of the Rhone club's problems.
