Frank McCourt, the American owner of Olympique de Marseille, spoke in a press release about the crisis shaking his club.
Should we see the beginnings of a future sale of OM ? Frank McCourt’s press release, published this Thursday afternoon, raises questions when it says ” our management of OM has taught us that a profound change is necessary to give the club a real chance to develop without hindrance in the long term. »
Is the owner of OM thinking of letting go? He would then give the impression of giving in to the disguised blackmail carried out by certain interlocutors present Monday evening at the Robert Louis-Dreyfus training center.
“ Support the Management Board, staff and players of OM »
Regarding this meeting during which leaders of supporters associations verbally heckled President Pablo Longoria and part of his staff, Frank McCourt stands behind the Spanish leader.
“ The situation that occurred on Monday and led to the resignation of Marcelino and his staff is unacceptable and, unfortunately, it is not the only example of behavior that goes against the mission of our club“, underlines the Bostonian.
Most passages in the press release suggest that Frank McCourt, owner of the club since the fall of 2016, will continue to be involved: “ Supporting the Management Board, staff and players of OM, who are the guarantors of the continued success of our club, is and will remain my top priority.. »

By dismissing, in this last sentence, the supporters of “ guarantors of success”, the American businessman probably sends a message to Rachid Zeroual and Christian Cataldorespectively responsible for the South Winners and the Dodger’s.
