John Textor Challenges Eagle Bidco Ouster, Accuses Ares of ‘Predatory’ Move

John Textor, the former president of Olympique Lyonnais (OL), spoke out on Saturday following his removal on Friday from Eagle Bidco, the holding company that controls 85% of the Lyon football club’s capital. His eviction resulted from the appointment of a judicial administrator, Cork Gully. Textor specifically accused his principal creditor, Ares, of orchestrating the maneuver, stating his intent to regain control of the company.
