It is the war between Jean-Michel Aulas and John Textor. The former president of Olympique Lyonnais had the accounts of the Rhone club seized. Since then, each side has passed the buck. JMA, however, benefited from a switch to The Evening Team to explain the situation to Rhone supporters who think that their former president is attacking their favorite club.
“OL has been my club for 35 years and will always be my club. I deal with Textor, Eagle’s boss, and tell him that it will be OL groupe that will buy back the shares with Eagle’s guarantee and that if OL groupe cannot do so, it is Eagle that will replace him. It was approved by the board on May 10 of this year, I believe. The procedure at the commercial court was the only possible way to go to Eagle, it was not OL that I went for, it was Eagle. (…) It was done on August 10th. There was no money in the accounts. The DNCG had asked not to invest more than €25 million. At that time, it was already done. You have the impression that it was me who blocked the accounts, but it was not me! It’s the Cucci version of smoke that makes you think that I tried to slow down OL “did he declare.
