Without qualification for the European Cup, the Olympique de Marseille season is a huge fiasco. When taking stock and naming those responsible, the name of Frank McCourt comes up. But the American has nothing to reproach himself for.
A Champions League transfer window for a mediocre 8th place. OM have been disillusioned since last summer when they brought in Aubameyang, Lodi, Kondogbia, Correa, Sarr (13ME), Ndiaye (17ME) with very high salaries for some of them. Unfortunately, on the ground, several of these reinforcements were very disappointing. OM have never been in the game in Ligue 1, having to quickly abandon their C1 dreams. There will ultimately be neither C3 nor C4 for the Phocaeans. It is time to take stock at OM and point out those responsible for what is a real sporting disaster.
The incompetent is Longoria for Larqué
RMC and the show Rothen s’inflamme played the game. Jérôme Rothen was very harsh towards Frank McCourt, accused of never ” show his head » in Marseille despite the sporting concerns. An unfair trial for his interlocutor Jean-Michel Larqué. Thierry Roland’s former friend on TF1 believes that the American gave OM sufficient financial resources. The number 1 culprit can only be Pablo Longoria, judged “ incompetent » in the use of funds and in its sports policy more generally.
« In a club, everyone has their place. McCourt was the one who brought the oil, the money. But how can we blame someone for putting in a lot of money, and since they didn’t put in enough, possibly putting back a little more, when there is supposedly within the ‘OM all it takes to run the club? […] There is a deputy president, a director, scouts, a sports director. There is everything you need. McCourt did not want to be in the vicinity of a deputy president whose role is to run the club. The one who did not keep the club running was not the one who put in the money, it was the deputy president, who himself did not show enormous competence, who surrounded himself with people who were supposedly the strong men of OM “, he blurted. The list of Pablo Longoria’s detractors is growing, already forcing the strong man of OM to make a success of his summer with the future coach’s file and a solid transfer window.
