Asked this Thursday at an OM-Bordeaux pre-match press conference on the failure of Mediapro which did not honor its deadline of October 5 (172 million euros) with the LFP, André Villas-Boas did not not mince words against the diffuser of Ligue 1. “I’ve never seen that in my life! A guy (Jaume Roures, boss of Mediapro) presents himself as the great savior of French football and now he does not have the money to pay the contract, it is absurd. “
“Surprised that the League does not protect itself with bank guarantees”, the Portuguese technician says he fears the consequences of such a decision, which risks putting “Clubs in a situation of economic bankruptcy. I don’t know how we’re gonna get out he specifies, we trust the League and the clubs to find the best solution. “
And to conclude with a joke: “I too can dream of a house in Beverly Hills for 20 million euros but I cannot buy it. So I will not make an offer to acquire it. It’s the same thing: if you don’t have the money, you don’t participate in the call for tenders for the broadcasting rights of the French Championship. It is a scandal ! “
