One of the leaders of the Lyon urban community said all the bad things he thought of the new owner of OL.
Since taking over at Olympique Lyonnais in December 2022, John Textor has received more criticism than praise. The successor of Jean-Michel Aulas was targeted by one of the political actors of the city of Gaules.
“ I am more than worried, we are in a catastrophic sporting situation with real risks of going down to the second division”judged Bruno Bernard, president of the Greater Lyon Metropolis, interviewed at the end of the week by BFM Lyon.

While OL occupied the penultimate place in the Ligue 1 standings at the start of the 9th day, Bruno Bernard found it difficult to project himself with the American businessman: “ The new owner(s) has an illegible policy. John Textor took six months to arrive and he tells us the team won’t change for three years. »
The boss of Grand Lyon fears that this institution of Lyon sport will weaken considerably: “ They are selling the family jewels of the club, the women’s section, the OL Reign, and now the Arena without counting the best young players of the OL » (Barcola, Gusto, Lukeba, editor’s note).
