With a Master’s degree in international law, I realized at the end of my university studies that it was important to work in a field that you enjoy. Overnight, I decided to put an end to my parents’ dream of me becoming a future lawyer, to live my passion: sports. Since then, I have been covering transfer windows and sports news, trying to inform readers as best I can.
French football is in great danger. The LFP has still not managed to find a broadcaster for the next season. For journalist Thibaud Vézirian, the current impasse could, however, be resolved with the arrival of new Saudi investors at OM, which could lead to a renewed interest in Ligue 1.
Vincent Labrune no longer knows what to do to attract broadcasters. The president of the LFP tried to get closer to beIN SPORTS these last weeks. He also mentioned the creation of a 100% channel Ligue 1 to broadcast the meetings, but the first feedback is not positive. The situation is therefore at an impasse, a few weeks before the resumption of the championship. But for Thibaud Vézirian, the solution could come fromSaudi Arabiatipped to buy OM.
Saudi Arabia will play the saviors
According to him, the arrival of new investorsABOUT could allow Labrune to sell TV rights more easily. “ If there is not this consortium of companies which formalizes the takeover of Olympique de Marseille, French football is going completely to the wall. There will be no more financial resources, the president of Montpellier has already spoken of layoffs of certain employees because TV rights are not up to par and we are heading towards bankruptcy” told Vezirian durant un live Twitch.
“Without OM, everything is going to hell”
In this file, theSaudi Arabia could therefore play the saviors. Conversely, if they arrive (Editor’s note: the consortium led by Saudi Arabia), they are the kings, the saviours… and they have had their eye on all this since CVC. This has been proven publicly since it was said by Senators, it is not me who says it. The situation is such that we are waiting with several confirmations (…) Without OM, everything is going to the wall” the journalist confided.
