In recent days, the various information that leaked to the French press have confirmed the more than tense relations between the president of PSG Nasser al-Khelaïfi and the president of OL John Textor. For several months, the two men have led a frontal war and it started with the TV rights crisis last summer. In an extract from the meeting of presidents of Ligue 1 unveiled by France Télévisions, the Parisian president attacked John Textor. “John, John, John, John, John, stop talking. You don't understand anything. You come, I don't know where, Cowboy. And you tell us. Jean-Pierre, I come out of this call because he really will get angry, I swear to you, I waste my time, I leave the meeting, he does not understand anything, I swear to you ”. Since then, John Textor has multiplied the media outings to type on the Parisian president.
Last Sunday, we were looking forward to the confrontation between PSG and OL in Lyon. And in this meeting, the capital's club has established itself (3-2). John Textor, who had drawn a cowboy hat for the occasion, had made a crisp revelation. “Tonight, we could have talked about football. I would have liked PSG to respect that. They filed a reserve against Thiago Almada tonight. For you to know, Damien (Comolli) also put a reserve in Toulouse, Pablo (Longoria) also in Marseille. I think there is another ”he had launched. For several weeks, Ligue 1 clubs have been challenging the arrival of Thiago Almada at OL when the same OL had been prohibited from recruitment by the DNCG. The US leader had circumvented this sanction by obtaining a free loan from his player who belonged to Botafogo, club of the Eagle group of John Textor.
Textor continues his war against Al-Khelaifi
And while we thought this little war was finished at the moment, this is absolutely not the case. This Wednesday evening, The team reveals that Olympique Lyonnais has filed a complaint on the participation of KHVITCHA KVARATSKHELIA in the OL-PSG meeting last Sunday. The French daily reveals that Club is based on article 560 stipulating that by “Case of offense at one of the provisions concerning the qualification and/or the participation of a player, and regardless of other applicable sanctions, the club at fault lost by penalty but the claiming club does not benefit from the points corresponding to the gain of the match. He then retained the benefit of the points acquired and the goals scored during the meeting; The goals scored during the meeting by the team of the club at fault are canceled. If it is a meeting which must have provided a winner, it is the demanding club who is declared winner. »»
The team explains that the file is far from being at an advanced stadium, but that John Textor continues to question the financing of PSG by the state of Qatar. Recently, he had not excluded the idea of a possible recourse before the Court of Justice of the European Union. Before that, he therefore decided to tackle the file of the Georgian star, excellent against OL and who had been elected man of the match. It remains to be seen whether it will be successful now, but this new text stroke illustrates the cataclysmic relationships between the two men.
