Large debate than that of the multi -ownership and the possible drifts that this induces. This winter, John Textor's dominant position on clubs that are Botafogo and OL allowed Gones to see their workforce reinforced by the arrival of the Argentinian international Thiago Almada from Rio. And this despite the recruitment prohibition which the Lyonnais must face, under an administrative relegation pronounced by the National Directorate of Management Control (DNCG).
