The owner of OM, Frank McCourt, does not escape criticism after the catastrophic end of the financial year for the Marseille club, which will not qualify for the European Cup next season.
Eighth in Ligue 1, eliminated in the semi-finals of the Europa League and in the sixteenth of the Coupe de France, OM will not be European next season. A fiasco which will force leaders to change everything, or almost everything, this summer. “We want to find more stability, consistency, more positive attitudes than what we have experienced this year, so that it is much less difficult to perform”reacted Pablo Longoria on Sunday evening, after Le Havre-Marseille (1-2).
“Our goal must be to change this negative dynamic, our mentality and to get closer to our supporters, who have been magnificent all season”, added the Olympian president. This league finish is the Ciel et Blanc’s worst since American owner Frank McCourt arrived at the club. An investor that Jérôme Rothen points out, judging him guilty of not being sufficiently supportive of his management and his team.
“McCourt was never there. Never of the year »
“When you are the owner of a club like OM, which is experiencing its worst season in quite a few years, after having broken its payroll record, the absence of the owner shows many things which are largely insufficient in this clubhe said in his show, broadcast Tuesday on RMC. When you’ve invested so much money, what are you waiting for to show your face? When is he going to take the keys to the truck and put the church back in the middle of the village? »
And the consultant added: “Mr McCourt, realize that it’s a bit of a mess at OM. This energy is important in the life of a club like OM. He was never there. Never all year. » Nothing says that the presence of the businessman would have changed anything for Jean-Louis Gasset’s players, as the Marseille squad seemed limited in quantity and quality at the end of the year, which condemns OM to completely review its copy.
