L’Olympic Marseille is in the middle of an institutional crisis! Its entire sporting and institutional structure is called into question by its groups of supporters…
This crisis is so deep that the public authorities are getting involved.
After Renaud Muselier’s reaction, it was the mayor of Marseille, Mr Benoît Payan, who reacted and called on the club’s owner, Frank McCourt to come out of the woods. In comments reported by RMC, he explains: “ The crisis must now subside. Everyone must come to their senses. OM is a very popular club. Now Frank McCourt will have to come and blow the whistle for the end of recess and we will know where we are going. We must set a course. »
« DSuch extraordinary supporters, a leader who does what he can in difficult conditions”
Note, however, that he does not take sides but calls for rapid conciliation: “ We cannot leave a club – which has such a strong history, such extraordinary supporters, a leader who does what he can in difficult conditions – without direction, without strategy and without vision for the future. The main shareholder is now clearly expected on this issue. »
Pablo’s statement Longoria announcing that he remains
“I am speaking as president of OM, I would like to congratulate the team and the character shown in Amsterdam. I’ve had some complicated days. What happened on Monday is simply unacceptable. I was touched by the outpouring of popular support and the affection of everyone. All those who understood the need for change. I had a great conversation with McCourt, I had unconditional support, it warms my heart. It gives me energy. I decided to continue my mission as president. I will be in Paris on Sunday. I am a valuable person with convictions, I cannot just denounce a situation, I have to get to the bottom of things. I asked my lawyers to file a complaint. I don’t want conflict, I just want to put an end to patterns of behavior, so that it doesn’t happen again, he said. We must be able to work in a normal football club. We have done a lot of things since 2021 to improve the club. I know that everything is not perfect, we have a lot to do with humility. We must progress while maintaining these ethical rules. I am about to begin the most difficult period of my term as president. I am determined to make OM one of the best European clubs. I need the support of everyone who wants to grow the club. We must come out bigger and put an end to all the practices that I have denounced. We have to change things together. I want to broaden the debate so that what happened is no longer accepted, here or elsewhere in the world of sport. »
