On RMC, Jérôme Rothen harshly attacked an OM legend.
It’s the crisis in Marseille. After a stormy meeting with representatives of supporters groups Monday evening, Pablo Longoria spoke this Friday, during a press conference organized at 7 p.m., to announce that he would remain the president of OM, despite the threats he suffered.
Over the past few days, Pablo Longoria has received many messages of support. On the other hand, the emblematic figures of the Marseille club did not rush to defend the Spanish leader, starting with Jean-Pierre Papin, who was nevertheless appointed advisor to the president. A silence deplored by Jérôme Rothen, who was not kind to the former French striker.
“He should have been the first to draw to defend Longoria”
“Papin, everyone had forgotten him in Marseille in recent years, launched the ex-Parisian on RMC. The only one who managed to bring him back was Pablo Longoria. He is an advisor to the president. He did not attend the meeting on Monday, which had been planned for many weeks. If there is anyone who can act as a buffer between the groups of supporters and Longoria, it is him with his knowledge of the club. He arrives at the airport on Wednesday with his suitcase all smiles, we have the impression that he is satisfied with having gained weight in the organization chart. I don’t understand, he should have been the first to draw to defend Longoria. »
🔵⚪ Pablo Longoria hasn’t received much public support in recent days.

And Jérôme Rothen also slipped a tackle on Basile Boli: “Basile Boli, the role of ambassador means more or less nothing and we don’t hear it, he doesn’t want to get involved and alienate the supporters’ representatives. »
