The former OL boss has filed a defamation complaint after comments made by John Textor on Tuesday evening.
This time, the war is total. More than four months after leaving Olympique Lyonnais to leave the controls to John Textor, Jean-Michel Aulas seems to have reached a point of no return with his successor. The American made the rounds of the media on Tuesday evening to express his reservations about the conditions of his arrival, suggesting that JMA had masked OL’s financial difficulties before the club’s move to DNCG, which ended by a failure.
This communication from John Textor was very badly perceived by Jean-Michel Aulas. After spreading the idea that he could file a complaint for defamation, the former OL boss was at the end of his step. A complaint has actually been filed against Eagle and John Textor by the company Holnest, as confirmed by an official press release issued on Wednesday afternoon.
“The Holnest company, controlled by Jean-Michel Aulas, is filing a defamation complaint against Eagle and John Textor (director and main shareholder of the Eagle group, majority shareholder of the company Olympique Lyonnais Groupe (OLG), and chairman of the board of directors of ‘OLG), following the latter’s remarks during a press conference on August 29″, can we read in this press release. The rag is burning behind the scenes at OL.
