Position about the decision-bomb that speaks of possible relegation her Lyon after the end of this season due to debts, the president of the club took John Textor.
The American businessman has been at the helm of the club since May 2023, when he replaced Jean-Michel Aulas, also owning the majority of the shares in Crystal Palace (England), Botafogo (Brazil) and Mollebeek (Belgium), while a few months ago he tried (unsuccessfully) to buy Everton as well.
Now, he is asked to immediately find a solution so that the debts of 505 million euros are settled as soon as possible, so that the historic relegation of the 7-time champions of France does not come.
“The team will not be relegated. There is no way. We are very optimistic about our model. Our shareholders have capital, we have the financial resources. No one will allow the team to be relegated. There is not the slightest chance that we will fail”the Lyon strongman initially reported, before responding to a question about upcoming player sales, saying:
“We have a lot of great players. The coach will be asked to make almost impossible decisions. I hate the rumors about who will be sold, it depends on the opportunities that arise. What is certain is that we have an abundance of footballers”.
