John Textor may give beautiful speeches in front of the media, his real intentions remain unknown. The owner of Olympique Lyonnais says he is ambitious but his words do not correspond to the trends mentioned before the opening of the transfer market. What to wonder about the real objectives of the businessman already criticized even before landing, he who had finalized the takeover after long months of waiting.
“For the moment, we have an average team, which we have to make average more, and then… average more more.

It is therefore not surprising to see Sidney Govou questioning his ambition. ” I always have a doubt about the guys who invest so muchconfided the former player of Olympique Lyonnais in the magazine So Foot. I wonder why. If I buy a car, it’s not to leave it in the garage, unless I’m an idiot or a collector. If you buy a football club, it’s because you have ambitions. And in Textor’s case, I can’t figure out which ones. The fault with a speech too different from the other bosses.
Textor in the short term?
“ All the presidents will tell you that they want to train players who go to big European clubs and that at the same time they want to win. It’s only at PSG that we don’t say that. There, at OL, the final objective, I don’t know what it iscompared Sidney Govou. What scares me is that I feel like it could be very short term. And behind, it might be complicated, especially if you don’t win. Suffice to say that John Textor will be expected at the turn for his first transfer window without Jean-Michel Aulas, the former president dismissed at the end of the season.
