Racing Club Strasbourg are embroiled in a bitter civil war between supporters and owners BlueCo.

The French club was bought by BlueCo , a consortium headed by Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali , in June 2023 .

Since then, the fanbase has been torn apart, with ultras and supporters' groups organising protests at every game.

Strasbourg have the youngest average age in Ligue 1 this season at 21.3 years .

Johnson says Strasbourg fans must accept the positive impact BlueCo has had on the club financially during difficult times for Ligue 1 .

Strasbourg could have been in major financial trouble last summer without BlueCo during France 's latest TV rights debacle.

Johnson believes multi-club ownership is becoming more common in modern football.
