Straight in his boots, the owner of Olympique Lyonnais is convinced that his club will not be subject to any sanctions. John Textor is still convinced that there is only a misunderstanding with the DNCG.
OL now know they are under threat of a possible descent to Ligue 2 at the end of the season if their accounts have not returned to a reasonable zone, but the club must also face a ban on recruiting in the transfer window. Faced with this situation, the owner of Olympique Lyonnais is anything but worried, because for John Textor, naturally, it is the DNCG which cannot understand the way in which OL is managed within Eagle Football Group. The American is still convinced that multi-ownership is the future of football, and therefore of Lyon, and that this implies financial management different from that which the financial policeman of French football is used to studying. Overall, John Textor is convinced that he is right, and even if Eagle Football has debts of 500 million euros, OL will not be sanctioned at the end of the season.
OL are not afraid of Ligue 2
Facing the media, the boss of Olympique Lyonnais wanted to reassure the supporters, without really succeeding in reading the comments on social networks. “ Having the DNCG tell me how to manage my business seems awkward to me. We won't get relegated, there's no chance. I know our situation generates skepticism. I prefer the Premier League system which otherwise punishes clubs with point deductions. We have resources that go well beyond the club. Even if we fail on all our initiatives, our owners will not let the group go under. There is no chance of being relegatedlaunched John Textor, who obviously decided not to appeal. We cannot make an appeal against what is a warning from the DNCG. » Likewise, John Textor repeated that before long he will manage to sell his minority shares in Crystal Palace, which will allow money to be injected into the coffers of Eagle Football Group. The only problem is that he has been repeating it for months and so far nothing has come to fruition.
