OL bank Botafogo, Textor depresses supporters

John Textor wants to use OL’s money to fund Botafogo’s new training center. If he thought of benefits in return for the Rhone club, the supporters of Les Gones did not take off however.

Unity is strength, a famous proverb well remembered by John Textor. The owner of OL expects maximum support between the different clubs owned by his company Eagle Football. There are three of them: OL, Botafogo in Brazil and RWD Molenbeek in Belgium. The Rio de Janeiro club is his oldest possession. Contrary to the fears of Brazilian supporters, he does not want to put Botafogo aside after the takeover of OL. To grow the carioca club, he intends to offer him a new training center … with financial participation from OL according to Globo and Le Progrès.

Textor infuriates OL supporters

The news is not yet official but it is already annoying among Lyon supporters. If OL could recover shares in Brazilian players in the operation, it looks above all like a new financial arrangement on the part of John Textor. Reactions and criticism were immediate on social media after this news.

” Skeptical, the plan is to train the future Brazilian cracks who will play for the ol but the financial imperative / result on our side really allows us that? », « We are going to have shares on players at 4-5M so while we are going to finance I don’t know how many. He scares a little Textor », « Botafogo is Textor’s favorite team in the Eagle football galaxy », « Damn he’s going to use Lyon for the other clubs, how sad, our club is going to die “, could we read in particular on Twitter. In other words, John Textor’s strategy will have to be as precise as possible and above all the most beneficial for OL. Otherwise, the distrust of the supporters will only be reinforced. The transfer window should give the first clear clues to the American’s plan for OL.
