As we know, the relations between John Textor and Nasser al-Khelaïfi are execrable. The American criticizes the Qatari his stranglehold on the French championship and especially his double cap of president of Paris Saint-Germain and Bein Sports. The broadcast of extracts from the electric meeting of July 14, 2024 between presidents of Ligue 1 and Vincent Labrune confirmed the contempt that Nak has to his Rhodanian counterpart. And tonight, Textor has decided to comment on this event.
Textor requires change
After indicating that it is certain that the decisions had already been taken by a small group of people before this call, Textor returned to the hard words of Al-Khelaïfi against him. “John, John, John, John, John, stop talking. You don't understand anything. You just have I don't know where, Cowboy. And you tell us. (…) Jean-Pierre (Rivère, the president of Nice, editor's note)), I leave this call because he really will get angry, I swear, I waste my time, I get out of meeting, he does not understand anything, I swear. »» A criticism that the American did not understand because he recalled that he built his fortune thanks to the streaming.
“”Being reprimanded by “Nak”, as nothing knows, was both comical and counterproductive. The governance of our league must change immediately, because each Ligue 1 club should be represented on the board of directors. All conflicts of interest must be disclosed and attenuated“, He said in an interview with The team. Annoyed by the behavior of Nak, Textor confirmed that he was one of the few presidents of L1 to want to kick the anthill by publicly denouncing the submission of the L1 to the boss of PSG.
The pros nak pointed out
Besides, when The team Asks him why no president denounced the attitude of Al-Khelaïfi during this call, John Textor does not hesitate to tackle the leaders pro NAK. “I can't say it. I am shocked that this behavior is only made public now. I guess that it took a disaster for it to be revealed, but it clearly shows how our league is dominated and is deteriorating. We have too many presidents and too many leaders who believe that their careers would be better, personally, if they were collaborating with Nak. »»
Finally, when evoking the double cap of al-Khelaïfi and the conflict of interest generated, Textor this time accuses the board of directors of the LFP of having sworn loyalty to the Parisian president. Worse, the American is surprised to see this CA accept the double cap of Nak as well as the influence of a state (Qatar) and to want at the same time the skin of his OL. “Our governance gives them the possibility of directing, and they chose to tighten the ranks around the wishes of a powerful man. Why does the same group of men collaborate to protest match match against the economic model of OL and with the DNCG, when they have no problem with the state subsidies which feed the imbalance in favor of PSG? Who asks them to make such protests, and why does OL threaten them more than PSG? »» The rest of the next episode.
