For John Textor, OL do not need the Champions League

The president of OL, John Textor, said at the microphone of RMCthat his club does not need the Champions League to ensure its profitability: “ We demonstrated our business plan to the DNCG. Thanks to our current income, even if it is falling because of TV rights. Based on our average income, we are a very profitable club. We don't need the Champions League to achieve profitability. This is OL's big improvement. We rationalized the club's income to survive even without C1 ».

The Lyon president also minimized the impact of the recruitment ban on the current team: “ We also have to see that we have a lot of players in the squad. The recruitment ban is not going to affect us. We have a player like Zaha who doesn't play even though he deserves to play. Thiago Almada, Luiz Henrique or Igoor Jesus could come too, even if for him (Jesus), I see him more in the Premier League ».
