The sale of OM is still in no doubt for Thibaut Vézirian, even if the journalist admitted on Twitch that the process was longer than expected for the sale of the club by Frank McCourt.
For months, the rumor of a possible sale of Olympique de Marseille has been mentioned on social networks. A theory fueled by Thibaut Vézirian, who discusses this subject every day or almost every day in “Dej Foot”, his show on Twitch. The journalist has worked on the subject and affirms that Frank McCourt will sell OM in the near future. An investment from Saudi Arabia is regularly mentioned for the future of OM, but for the moment, the supporters do not see anything coming. During its last live, “TV” nevertheless pointed out in the case, for example, of the sale of Paris FC that it was possible for a club to be sold underwater and that people were already working in the shadow, long before formalization.
However, we are talking about a few months in the case of the Parisian club, which contrasts with the slowness of operations regarding the sale of OM. In addition, Thibaud Vézirian discussed the situation of Pablo Longoria and confirms that the Spanish president of Olympique de Marseille should not have remained in office for as long as everything was planned with the sale of the club. “Longoria vice-president of the LFP, is he preparing for post-OM? It is implacable logic to have the president of OM very high up in the authorities. It is obligatory that the presidents of the biggest clubs be as close as possible to the management of the LFP. Textor left because of his distrust of Vincent Labrune” first explained the former journalist from the Chaîne L’Equipe, before continuing.
“It’s grueling, and it wasn’t meant to be this way.”
“So for Longoria, nothing to do with a sale. Besides, you see, with the sale of Paris FC which is announced everywhere but which has actually been effective since May, we have just learned that the Arnault family delegation is not going to have its DNCG meetings until mid-November. Which means that the Arnault family is working, even if it's not official. In short, to return to Longoria, he will sit on the LFP, he will have done a huge job at OM as president and sporting director since 2021 before handing over a little control to the athlete. It's exhausting, and it wasn't meant to be this way, it shouldn't have lasted this long.” commented Thibaud Vézirian, who subsequently confirmed that he was still convinced of the sale of OM and that it was not a ” belief “ but rather a long journalistic investigation on his part.
