While Paris FC will enter the fold of one of the richest men in the world, OM still belongs to Frank McCourt. Something to surprise the supporters.
Barely had the announcement of the takeover of Paris FC by the Arnault family, owner of the LVMH group, been revealed that supporters of Olympique de Marseille wondered why their club had not been sold to the Saudis when for four years some explain to them that this must be done. Because on the capital side, Antoine Arnault began negotiations in April with Pierre Ferracci, owner of Paris FC, and everything was therefore settled in a few months. Obviously, Thibaud Vézirian was questioned about this speed, while the journalist has been talking about the sale of OM to Saudi Arabia since 2020. In its broadcast on Twitch, TV did not back down and responded to those who saw in the sale of Paris FC proof that its entire story about Olympique de Marseille was fictitious.
Paris FC is not OM
« Those who want to enter into the comparisons between the sale of Olympique de Marseille and that of Paris FC, you are on a club with a unique fanbase in the world, OM, with political interests on the national, local level with a rehabilitation of certain districts of the city, some of which are among the poorest in Europe. The Vélodrome brings the city to life, it is the soul of Marseille. You even have international politics with the United States, France and the Middle East, where we had to bring CGA-CGM into it, because it was a mess. I was talking about it again last week with people who are in the political world, they told me that four years was annoying for OM supporters, but they also told me that in business it is not exceptional. This person who is following the file told me not to worry and that it would be done. We are in full development of the club for the exit of Frank McCourt, everything is done in the personal interests of everyone. And everything must fit together and align », specified Thibaud Vézirian, still convinced that the American billionaire is on the verge of selling his club to Saudi Arabia. You just need a little patience, even if it starts to take a long time.
