Lyon’s owner John Textor spoke about lowering his club to the French League 2. His words quote ge.globo.

“I coped better on the football field than in the French system. In this I have not succeeded, it is obvious. The process of adaptation to the system for me as an American investor, always seemed unclear. But we have a great financial base.

We are going to invest a considerable amount of money in the club, we just sold Cristal Peles. We definitely have no financial problems, we have never had such liquidity. But in this process, I did something that disappointed the controlling bodies in France, and we need to correct it, “the textor said.

Earlier it was reported that PSG paid the entire amount for Barcol to help Lyon.
