The tension is rising in Lyon. A few hours after John Textor’s statements to the press accusing Jean-Michel Aulas of having concealed from him the DNCG’s concerns about the finances of Olympique Lyonnais during the sale process, the ex-boss of Les Gones did not wasted no time in carrying out his threat. The day before, JMA decided to file a defamation suit against John Textor and his company Eagle Football. After having obtained the freezing of 14.5 M€ on the accounts of OL, the French sports leader justified his position during an interview granted to The Team. In addition, the former president of the Rhone club recalled that he did not want to harm OL but to act against its new owner.
“I am at OL’s disposal. I said it and I say it again. Fans know that for the most part, maybe not all the people who intervene on social networks, but the people who come to the stadium and who know. My club is OL. I’m sick of what’s happening because when I decided to give in and leave to do other things, it was to give Olympique Lyonnais more chances. And today, I see that it is slow to come. I am told that the accounts have been blocked. It’s not true. This hasn’t stopped the club from making transfers.”he said on the show The evening team.
