Crystal Palace co-owner Textor takes aim at Molenbeek ultras

Crystal Palace co-owner John Textor has responded to protests from Molenbeek fans.

Textor is the owner of the Belgian club, which Palace also count on as partners.

And ultras are upset with the American as they struggle this season. One group sent a message to Textor, stating: "RWDM is not a virtual reality, we have a soul and a history.

“Textor, your management is not an American dream but just a very bad trip."

Yesterday, after Molenbeek's defeat against Genk (3-1), Textor responded on social media: “Identity... We are not at the service of the identity of the ultras. We serve all fans, in our multicultural community.

"After years in the lower divisions and similar expectations in 2022-2023, we have brought the club towards promotion."
