Despite the sanctions taken by the DNCG against OM, journalist Thibaud Vézirian says he is “serene” regarding the sale of the club.
Thibaud Vézirian does not budge: Olympique de Marseille is coveted by Saudi investors and the club’s sale process is continuing. And these are not the latest measures taken by the DNCG, the financial police of French football, which will prevent Frank McCourt from selling the residents of the Vélodrome stadium.
“You can have an agreement for the sale of a company and in the meantime have payroll supervision by the DNCG since the owner remains McCourt. And the tap has been off for quite some time”the journalist declared on Twitch in response to the decision of the DNCG, which announced on Wednesday a framework for the OM payroll “ to the revised budget presented by the club “.
“I have never been so serene”
“I have never been so calm (regarding the sale of the club, editor’s note)he continued. OM had planned a budget to play in the Champions League. But Longoria, seeing the fiasco with Panathinaikos, scaled back and found himself with this shaky squad. Longoria said in September that everything was going well financially. It turns out not. »
Via a press release, OM reacted to the DNCG’s announcement. “Olympique de Marseille takes note of the decision rendered by the DNCG, it is written. Hearing today, the OM management presented a budget that complies with the strictest management rules and which is part of the financial sustainability of the club advocated by the Chairman of the Board, Pablo Longoria. The financial regulator appreciated this presentation and unreservedly validated the club’s forecasts, thus allowing the management team to calmly continue the transformation of the club while respecting the budgetary framework. »
