Monday briefing: Lyon owner John Textor blasts PSG’s model as ‘illegal'

Lyon and Crystal Palace part-owner John Textor has blasted French champions PSG’s ownership model as ‘illegal’ during an interview with Spanish sports publication Diario AS.

In November, Lyon were given a provisional relegation to Ligue 2 by the DNCG, the organisation that oversees French clubs’ accounts, and received a transfer ban.

During the interview with AS, Textor criticised the DNCG’s decision stating that the club will launch an appeal against the ‘unfounded’ ruling.
