OM went down at home against Auxerre, under the eyes of Frank McCourt, who must be wondering how his investments lead to such an apathetic team.
A true black cat of Olympique de Marseille as his presence in the stands coincides a little too often with a bad result at home, Frank McCourt certainly took a big blow to the back of the head seeing the performance of Roberto De Zerbi's players against Auxerre . A setback at home, a podium inevitably threatened, OM is not ahead despite a promising start to the season which is clearly starting to run out of steam. While the Marseillais only have one match a week, the mayonnaise is clearly not taking hold, and Roberto De Zerbi for the first time lost his nerve by suggesting that he could leave if he was told he was the problem within the club. This should not be the case. But the presence of Frank McCourt necessarily allows us to take stock of the OM project, which has invested to rebuild a competitive team after the fiasco of last season, but does not really see any glaring improvement.
Courage cannot be bought
Enough to make the supporters and follower accounts of OM react on social networks, where we wonder if the American will not end up losing his temper in turn seeing that the financial means aligned do not really seem to change gives it. “ Where has management gone? Longoria? Benatia? MCCOURT? Nobody respects the OM institution » complains Edition Marseille, for whom a senior manager of the club should have spoken after this crushing defeat at home. “ Frank McCourt and Jeff Ingram must be delighted with the trip, their evening and the results of the investments… But the mentality, the “personality” and the “courage” dear to De Zerbi cannot be bought…”even releases the TeamOM account to its more than 400,000 subscribers on X.
And in this story, Franck McCourt must still ask himself questions about the recurring problem of the competitiveness of the club he manages. “ Franck McCourt should no longer be able to do so. He tries cheap trainers, it doesn't work. He tries some big names, he hears: “it’s not prepared to play with 2 in front so it’s not possible”. There is something to twist », summarized consultant Emmanuel Trumer. For the moment, the American is in any case taking his problem patiently and although he went towards the locker room at the end of the match, he did not show any sign of irritation despite the terrible rumble from the Vélodrome at the end of the match. end of the meeting.
