John Textor did not hold back against PSG.We have to compete with Qatar in France. I am competing with a country, not an owner. A model of unbridled spending, without restrictions. As long as they can generate enough revenue, and they can through the relationship with Qatar and the sponsors, they can use the revenue exactly where they need it, to spend. They can then use the revenue exactly where they need it, to spend what they want because they want to win the UEFA Champions League.”“, declared the owner of OL two days ago.
He concluded with an equally scathing formula.I hope we kick their asses and they have a bad year. But all they have to do is reach into their pockets, give up a little oil money and it’s over.” Obviously, these words relayed by Globo Esporte quickly reached the ears of the Parisian management. They followed the decision to grant TV rights to DAZN-BeIN Sports tickets, much to the dismay of John Textor. OL and PSG disagree on this very important subject since the survival of most Ligue 1 clubs depends on it. It took the Parisians a day to respond, via a letter from its general secretary Victoriano Melero.
PSG lights up John Textor…
According to information from RMChe took up the pen in a salty missive addressed to the American. PSG simply threatens to take the matter to court. “We will not stoop to responding to your absurd comments and reserve the right to take legal action.says the Parisian leader, arguing that these are declarations more inappropriate, particularly false, hypocritical and disrespectful, not only towards PSG but also towards French football.“The letter invites Textor to review its copy on the shareholding of PSG, now held at 12.5% by the American investor Arctos Partners.
RMC also reveals an even more embarrassing passage for the businessman.You lecture other French clubs about not worrying about the lack of guaranteed income, while privately asking for advance payments for Bradley Barcola’s transfer to benefit from income for your own transfer window.“, assures PSG, also defending its domination of the French championship, “Almost all European and World Championships are dominated by a small number of teams.“This was also the case for OL between 2001 and 2008, the letter recalls, before QSI and Textor were there.
…and threatens him with legal action
Before concluding its response, the capital club indicates that it does not “don’t waste any extra time» on this subject, wishing in passing a «a fruitful upcoming season to all the players who want the best for French football.“The end, however, is more threatening.”However, if you continue your defamatory and damaging comments, we will be forced to add you to our growing number of legal actions in Brazil with an additional procedure in France.“The tone is set at the dawn of this new season where OL has already spent considerably with the arrival of Textor at the helm.
