I keep thinking about the feud between Nasser Al-Khelaifi and John Textor is at the heart of our predicament. Back in February they clashed, which was reported by L’Equipe as follows:
PSG’s Nasser Al-Khelaifi and
OL‘s John Textor have clashed repeatedly over the years, with leaked messages often coming out over their disagreements.
This time, it was leaked audio from a
Ligue 1 presidents’ meeting obtained by L’Equipe.
With disagreements about the league’s TV rights deal taking over, it’s claimed that Al-Khelaifi led the call but took down an interrupting Textor.
“John, shut up, you don’t understand anything. You’re a cowboy who came from nowhere to talk to us,” he said.
“Nasser, you are a tyrant,” Textor bit back.
Al-Khelaifi then said: “John, John, John… Shut up, you don’t understand anything. I’m going to get off this call, because he’s really making me angry.
“I swear, I’m wasting my time. I’m going to leave the meeting, he doesn’t understand anything.”
No wonder we’ve been stitched up!
