Overview
- Textor used new RMC interviews to allege the DNCG gave OL a green light on May 20 before imposing administrative relegation on June 24.
- He claimed the club added €25 million in cash and sold Rayan Cherki for €30 million before the June decision, assertions not independently verified in the coverage.
- He said he asked Michele Kang to take charge because changing the leader was, in his view, the only way to win the appeal.
- OL was ultimately kept in the top flight after the appeal, Kang now leads the club, and Textor praised her management of relationships with French football authorities.
- OL’s recently published accounts showed a €201.2 million net loss for 2024–25, and Textor also blamed legacy issues tied to former president Jean‑Michel Aulas while acknowledging supporters’ anger.
