Questioned by RMC at the start of the week, John Textor questioned the DNCG and its impartiality. He is not the only one since the financial policeman of French Football is the subject of debate among OL supporters.
Still unknown to the French public two years ago, John Textor is now a character that everyone has identified. The owner of Olympique Lyonnais doesn't have his tongue in his pocket and when he has something to say, he doesn't beat around the bush. On the airwaves of RMC at the start of the week, the American businessman clashed all over. Vincent Labrune and Nasser Al-Khelaïfi have taken their position, in the same way as the DNCG, not as independent as it claims according to John Textor. Accusations which earned the boss of Eagle Football the reprimands of Jean-Marc Mickeler, boss of the body.
“Mr. Textor's statements on the alleged attachment of the DNCG to the League, or on discriminatory treatment towards Olympique Lyonnais, demonstrate a manifest and persistent lack of knowledge of the operating rules of the financial regulation of the professional football in France » the boss of the DNCG particularly protested. But on the side of Olympique Lyonnais supporters, we support John Textor 100% and we also question the independence and impartiality of the financial policeman of French football. As the raises So Footsocial networks have been agitated in recent hours and tweets from Jean-Marc Mickeler have been unearthed.
OL fans contest the impartiality of the DNCG
“PSG fall champion, I feel 15 years younger. Special dedication to my Lyon friends » can we read in particular from the boss of the DNCG in a tweet published in December 2011. On social networks, another point is raised en masse: the daughter of Jean-Marc Mickeler is an employee… at Paris Saint-Germain, as journalist Romain Molina revealed a few weeks ago. A hell of a conflict of interest in the eyes of OL fans but also of John Textor, who should think no less of it. Suffice to say that the financial policeman of French football finds himself more contested than ever, at least in the capital of Gaul.
As a reminder, last November the DNCG pronounced a precautionary relegation and a recruitment ban against Les Gones. But as revealed by L'Equipe this Wednesday, OL is hopeful of escaping any sanction at the end of the season thanks to the 175 million euros found in recent weeks by John Textor in order to satisfy the authorities of French football.
