King_of_darkcsbd Posted May 15, 2020 Posted May 15, 2020 (edited) In the space of a few hours, Thursday, everything turned upside down in the Old Port. The departure of sports director Andoni Zubizarreta should have serious consequences for Olympique de Marseille, whose future now appears even more blurred. Between worry and more or less eccentric hypotheses. Olympique de Marseille managed to finish on the second step of the podium this season behind the untouchable Paris Saint-Germain. But hardly the qualification for the next edition of the Champions League was it acted, that already the questions concerning the economic situation of the club, the financial fair play and the viability of the Champions Project of Frank McCourt were raised. x Now, after the unexpected formalization of the departure of Andoni Zubizarreta, there is a multitude of consequences that present themselves to management. Because André Villas-Boas, the coach who came to La Canebière for the Spanish sports director, is now likely to pack up. In the locker room, very attached to the Portuguese, this could also have real repercussions on those who want to stay or leave ... What about the Saudi rumor? And since the Marseille training is a media showcase, this wobbly situation causes the multiplication of rumors. The names of several coaches are already mentioned, with more or less traceability of sources. Ditto for the position left vacant by the former goalkeeper of FC Barcelona ... And in this Marseille jumble, rumors of a sale to Saudi investors remain omnipresent. The hasty departure of "Zubi" would notably be a sign, for the defenders of this hypothesis, that behind the scenes, Frank McCourt has made the sale, and that the men in place will all be promptly replaced. The saudi24news site even relays a new offer from Saudi Arabia, amounting to 400 million euros, which would not leave the American businessman indifferent. And what does it matter if the stadium is not part of the lot, while waiting for the municipality to agree to yield it in turn. Edited May 16, 2020 by YaKuZa--BoSs Closed Topic/complete 1 day.
