Olympique Lyonnais: "There is a good chance I will buy Everton using my own financing" (J. Textor)

"The acquisition of Everton FC (Premier League) would be made using my own financing, and I would buy it in my capacity as John Textor, not via Eagle Football Group. There is a good chance that this will happen, but the owner has several offers on the table," said John Textor, president of Olympique Lyonnais (Ligue 1 McDonald's) on 11/09/2024.

"We want to contribute to the good governance of French football, but sometimes we are not being heard. I wonder whether other clubs will survive the decline in TV rights. Getting into this situation was a big mistake. If we hadn't been a multinational company with multiple revenue streams, it would have been a very difficult season."

"The sale of Eagle Football Group's shares in Crystal Palace (Premier League) is moving forward and should be completed before the end of the year, which will reduce our debts," added the American, who owns OL via his company Eagle Football Group.
