The comments made by John Textor in “Rothen s’enflamme” on RMC on Monday provoked strong reactions. Notably Paris Saint-Germain and its president, Nasser al-Khelaïfi, who have already published
two press releases on this subject.
According to Daniel Riolo, the majority shareholder of Olympique Lyonnais says out loud what many French football leaders think quietly. “To say that what John Textor says catches our interest does not mean that we necessarily appreciate his model. This does not mean that timeshares are 100% validated. She’s just the only person who has the courage to speak out, so far. Our football must be saved. As long as it functions as it is there, it will be ruined. Because it is led by a man who wants his downfall, whose name is Nasser al-Khelaïfi”explained the sports journalist, Monday evening, on the same radio.
Al-Khelaïfi, the false friend of Ligue 1?
With Nasser al-Khelaïfi’s methods, the elite of French football were headed for ruin. “Try to understand it!” He doesn’t want things to change, it’s a championship crushed to give him time to play in the European Cup, which he doesn’t even necessarily want to win, continues Riolo. The business model is perfect. What he wants is to crush Ligue 1, he doesn’t give a damn about
Vincent Labrune who is his lackey, of all the presidents who eat out of his hand. What he wants is to screw up L1. »
For many years, Daniel Riolo has been very virulent towards Nasser al-Khelaïfi. He has already described it on several occasions as “worst president in history” of the capital club. “He’s someone who has never won anything in the end. He is strong with the weak, weak with the strong,” summarizes Géraldine Maillet’s companion.
