Overview
- Holnest, the company of former OL president Jean-Michel Aulas, said Textor’s recent comments are a diversion that distorts events and that he alone is responsible for his management choices.
- Holnest noted that courts have consistently ruled in its favor and said it will draw all legal consequences from Textor’s latest statements.
- Holnest credited Michele Kang and her team with assembling a credible case that won OL’s appeal at the DNCG after the June administrative relegation decision.
- In an RMC interview, Textor claimed the DNCG gave a full green light on May 20 before reversing on June 24, cited added cash and the sale of Rayan Cherki, and said a leadership change was needed to pass the appeal.
- Textor’s assertions of improved finances contrast with OL’s published 2024–25 accounts showing a €201.2 million net loss, a sharp deterioration from the prior year.
