Libero 030: John Textor, Skateboard Champion

<p>On today’s Libero, Jack Pitt-Brooke, Tariq Panja and John Brewin ask the big question of the summer so far: who is John Textor? And what is going on with the ownership of Lyon and Crystal Palace? Lyon used to be one of Europe’s model clubs but now they are facing the prospect of relegation to Ligue 2. What does this tell us, not only about Textor, but about the multi-club model in general? Is there any upside at all in it for clubs.</p><br><p>There is one Textor club that is having a great summer, though, with Botafogo through to the last-16 of the Club World Cup. All four Brazilian teams, in fact, have progressed from the groups. (31:27) Why is Brazilian club football so strong again? And does that change how we feel about Gianni Infantino’s big party in the USA?</p><br><p>Produced by: Tom Bassam</p><br><p>Email in at <a href="mailto:[email protected]" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">[email protected]</a></p><p>Follow us on X <a href="https://x.com/podcast_libero" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@podcast_libero</a></p><p>Follow us on Bluesky <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/liberopodcast.bsky.social" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@liberopodcast.bsky.social</a></p><p>Follow us on Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/liberopod" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@liberopod</a></p><p>Subscribe to our YouTube channel <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@liberopod" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@liberopod</a></p><br><p>Music: Kid Kodi - Blue Dot Sessions</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
