The president of OM, Pablo Longoria, is in the sights of Rachid Zeroual, the leader of the South Winners supporters group.
The temperature rose another notch in Marseille, and the visit of Frank McCourt was not enough to bring it down. The timid announcements made by the American owner, who has no intention of selling the club and maintains his confidence in Pablo Longoria, caused Rachid Zeroual to react. Very influential, the manager of the South Winners does not hide his dissatisfaction, going so far as to threaten the management of the Marseille club.
“McCourt only did one thing: he came to comfort Longoria. For the rest, nothing changes. They are complicit in the misdeeds that plague OM from head to toerelease the ultra in The Marseillaise. In the end, I tell myself that the nightmare will continue. Do we deserve such leadership? And how much longer will we endure it? He can put whoever he wants on the bench, as long as Longoria requires his players to play, OM will not advance. »

If Rachid Zeroual intends to give the Olympian leaders time to find their coach and complete their transfer window, he will not be patient forever. “We are asking to see who will come and under what conditions. How I would love it if OM didn’t have to recover (Jordan) Amavi or Vitinha. When I see the season that is being prepared, I would not like to be in Longoria’s place”says the South Winners boss.
And to conclude with a serious warning: “We should get rid of some, but they have contracts that no serious club can take on. If things go badly again, things will go wrong again in September. » Pablo Longoria, Medhi Benatia and the OM management know what to expect. The corners of the Vélodrome will not endure the same circus as last year, when Marcelino was disembarked after seven matches.
