Kicked out, John Textor comes back through the window into European football news. While he now only takes care of Botafogo on behalf of Eagle, the American businessman has been making waves again, both in France and in England in recent days. On a common theme, that of the transfer market. OL thus noted that he still had to pay the costs of various far-fetched schemes carried out by his former boss. On the English side, it was Crystal Palace supporters who were upset when they read Textor’s comments on his arrangements with Nottingham Forest, which cost the London club the place in the Europa League this season.
Aware of the outcry caused by his comments, John Textor wanted to return to the Timesevoking among other things “a clumsy translation”. Then he hit the nail on the head on what he considers to be quite usual when it comes to transactions in the transfer market between two clubs. “A team owner can say, ‘Do me a favor on this one; you know I overpaid for the last one based on his performance.’ Every transaction is a negotiation, and if you want to continue trading with a particular owner, you sometimes accept that owner’s perception of value, sometimes forgoing your own perception. These negotiations can be double-edged. I was talking about how you adjust a transfer pricing negotiation. Of course it’s allowed and it’s not unusual at all. »
