John Textor suggested that Nasser Al-Khelaifi could be behind the negative decision of the DNCG, while others point the finger at Vincent Labrune. Romain Molina joined the dance.
This Sunday, the independent journalist returned to the financial situation of Olympique Lyonnais, and above all he wanted to put an end to the rumors circulating about a decision which would have been suggested to the DNCG to heavily sanction OL with a possible demotion at the end of the season. Because on Friday evening, the owner of Eagle Football Group had made it clear that he would not be surprised if Qatar, owner of PSG, was involved in this decision. And a few hours ago, an insider even claimed that Vincent Labrune was delighted with this sanction and had revealed it to several Ligue 1 presidents before it was official. In other words, the idea of an anti-OL plot is in the air, but for Romain Molina, all of this is completely false.
Textor must assume responsibility for OL's financial results
Even if he does not deny an antagonism between Nasser Al-Khelaifi and John Textor, the journalist believes that the DNCG had no other choice but to punish Olympique Lyonnais, and should even have done so before.
« It is not me who is going to compliment the DNCG, which is basically an important and necessary instrument, but which is neither independent nor strong. If that had been the case, Olympique Lyonnais would have already fallen to Ligue 2, because when they asked John Textor to do things, he didn't do it last year. I also remind you that the quarrel between Vincent Labrune, John Textor and Nasser Al-Khelaifi comes from the fact that Textor thought that he was going to be brought into the TV rights file. So yes, Textor was the only one to have the courage to oppose Al-Khelaifi, but to see links there, it's too twisted. Because when we see the financial situation of OL, it was obvious that there was going to be a sanction. So no, it's not a conspiracy. The situation at OL is dramatic », Explained Romain Molina, who believes that it is mainly the employees of the clubs concerned who are to be pitied.
