OL boss John Textor pulled no punches this Monday against Jérôme Rothen on RMC. By describing Vincent Labrune, the president of the Professional Football League (LFP) as Nasser Al-Khelaïfi’s “little lapdog”, the person concerned incurred the wrath of the two personalities concerned.
Just a few hours after the broadcast of the program, PSG reacted firmly to L’Equipe: “
Too bad that class and elegance cannot be bought because that would have prevented Mr. Textor from making a fool of himself through his crude and lying excesses against our president, our institution and our fans. May he come back to earth, and to France too, to better understand this Ligue 1 that we love so much. »
The LFP is also stepping up to the plate
The League for its part “ expresses its surprise at the recent statements of John Textor, president of Olympique Lyonnais
“. This by pointing “ several misunderstandings », namely, still according to the official reaction of the LFP: “ The DNCG is an independent institution, whose decisions and functioning are based on principles of autonomy and transparency. “. But also: ” The meeting mentioned, in which John Textor took part, was a meeting of the Ligue 1 college chaired by Jean-Pierre Caillot and not a board of directors. The exchanges and debates are led by Jean-Pierre Caillot and not by Vincent Labrune. »
And the League concludes: “ In terms of form, the LFP is also surprised by the nature of the comments made, especially since Vincent Labrune and John Textor had a very cordial exchange this afternoon. They also agreed to continue their discussions next Wednesday. »
