While the club is going through a new historic crisis, Frank McCourt would indeed be determined to sell Olympique de Marseille. But the owner of OM would be too greedy…
Olympique de Marseille is going through a new storm. The coach has left and the management of the Marseille club has been wavering for three days. Consequence of the meeting with representatives of supporter groups on Monday, during which threats were allegedly made. Although he has withdrawn, Pablo Longoria does not intend to leave the presidency of Ciel et Blanc. The Spanish leader hammered it home in an interview with Provence.
The future of the club does not appear any less uncertain. Unsurprisingly, rumors surrounding the sale of the club have flourished in recent hours and Romain Molina has also put a piece back into the machine in a video broadcast this Wednesday on YouTube. According to him, OM has no shortage of courtiers. “ You have people, behind the scenes, a former sports director of a French club, who says he has a sales mandate, from the Gulf and other people, there are people who want to buy OM. McCourt has demands that are just unachievable. That means hundreds of millions of euros, more than half a billion,” he said.
Ready to sell OM, Frank McCourt wants to hit the jackpot and is inflexible. “In the middle of all this, you have an owner, he is never there, we say to him: ‘you do that’ he says ‘yes’. He was promised to sell OM for hundreds and hundreds of millions of euros. Beyond half a billion. Yes, yes of course, €600-700M even, of course. He’s convinced of that, so his goal is to get the jackpot by telling him that he’s going to make a lot of money.” continued the journalist.
