This is news that all football players still have trouble achieving. But Olympique Lyonnais was well demoted by the DNCG last Tuesday and will evolve in Ligue 2 next season. The Rhodanian club has announced to appeal and has a chance to be maintained in the elite, but this dramatic situation was both too much for John Textor, more than ever threatened and criticized from all over, whose methods and style are still surprising.
To the point where the American owner could even be attacked in justice for his management of Olympique Lyonnais. According to information from Financial TimesJohn Textor would be threatened with prosecution by three American investors directly involved in the takeover of OL by funding 79.6 million euros from his company Eagle Football Holding. The billionaire Jamie Dinan and his two co-investors ask the owner of the Gones to buy these actions with them.
John Textor does not want to pay
A sum that would be upgraded to $ 93 million with interest. The company ICONIC SPORTS Management thus calls for reimbursement of this sum and has set an ultimatum on July 2, in a week, without which they will seize justice and will attack the current owner of OL. Still according to the American media, John Textor would have been aware of this threat, but assures that the three businessmen would not have “Not entitled to the contractual advantages they claim now”.
Enough to get the problems of John Textor, who had also borrowed $ 405 million at the investment bottom Ares Management (or 382.1 million euros) at a rate of 13% to buy Olympique Lyonnais. Ares Management could also rule out John Textor and possibly take control of OL and choose Michael Gerlinger as a new strong man. For its part, the most famous cowboy in French football should remain well behind.
