Attacked from all sides, Thibaud Vézirian confirmed disassociations between the Saudi state and OM decision-makers regarding the takeover of the club.
Thibaud Vézirian does not budge: Frank McCourt and his teams have indeed been approached by investors from Saudi Arabia about the sale of the club. Information further confirmed by the former journalist for the L’Equipe channel, accused of having “divided Marseille supporters” with false information.
“In my opinion, what happened is that what he announced did not happen and that for three years, he has persisted in his thing of “you will see, it “It’s done…” But it’s not done and so he insists”thus castigated the Phocéen journalist Romain Haering in the podcast L’OM au Café, and added: “The problem is that he divided the supporters in an incredible way with this. (…) It’s destabilization, and it has hurt the club and the supporters. (…) The Saudi state is not interested. »
“Those close to the Saudi government themselves said they were going to buy OM”
Statements that made Thibaud Vézirian jump, who responded to his colleague in a scathing manner. “Dare to say that my little person was able to divide OM supporters when we see how they attack themselves on social networks, they don’t need me. Rudi Garcia, Jacques-Henri Eyraud, and then even the Longoria management divided the supporters enough not to get involved in that”blurted out the 38-year-old journalist.
“Regarding his little sentence to say that the Saudis are not interested, it’s still the funniest, since people close to the Saudi government themselves said that they were going to buy OMhe continued. It’s quite curious, even now, at the end of 2023, to dare to say that. Another person who is looking for light, who has never investigated the subject, who apparently only follows the club’s official communication, since these are the same words that we hear from the OM communications department , and who, moreover, dares to lecture and disrespect the work of others. It’s a funny way of doing things. »
