Paris St-Germain threaten Lyon owner John Textor with legal action unless he stops what the French champions feel are 'defamatory and damaging statements' about the club.
Paris St-Germain have threatened Lyon owner John Textor with legal action unless he stops what the French champions feel are "defamatory and damaging statements" about the club.
In it, Textor, who through his Eagle Football Holdings group is a majority shareholder in Lyon and the biggest shareholder in Premier League club Crystal Palace, said he was competing against "a country, not an owner" and that PSG were a "model of unbridled spending, without restrictions". In a letter signed by PSG’s general secretary Victoriano Melero, seen by BBC Sport, the club has called Textor’s comments "false, incendiary, undignified and nonsensical".
“You falsely state PSG has 'a model of unbridled spending without restrictions' while ignoring the fact your own club has had significant issues with Uefa and DNCG restrictions under your management."They added: "You mention you are competing 'against a country' with PSG, ignorant of the fact that a significant portion of our club today is owned by US investor Arctos – which we thought you might be aware of, coming from the US.
