Not kind to the French football authorities, nor to Nasser al-Khelaïfi or even Vincent Labrune, John Textor should not be punished for his comments on RMC.
When he speaks, John Weaver rarely, if not never, has his tongue in his pocket. He says what he thinks, the way he wants it, and too bad for conventions. The interview he gave to RMC Monday is in his image, and he took advantage of this appearance on the radio to scratch a good part of French football.
Nasser al-Khelaïfiboss of PSG and beIN Sportsis in his sights, just like Vincent Labruneand generally the authorities of French football. The League, the DNCG… Everyone takes a little for their rank, even Jean-Michel Classes.
The National Ethics Council lets it slide
Faced with such comments, the National Ethics Council hesitated to refer the matter to the LFP disciplinary committee, indicates The Team. Ultimately, the organization responsible for combating inappropriate behavior and comments will do nothing, and the American should, in all likelihood, escape sanction. Already punished by the National Directorate of Management Control, the Rhone leader thus escapes further reprisals.
