Journalist
Passionate about sport, cinema and television (on screen as well as behind) since his childhood, Bernard has been a journalist for 10 Sport since 2018. More skilful with the keyboard in hand than with the ball on his feet, he decides to mainly cover a beloved sport, criticized and hated at the same time (Football) and a sport that is not one (wrestling).
The takeover of the Paris Football Club by the Arnault family and the Red Bull group is a source of fantasies, while the Parisian team is still in Ligue 2. Former Olympique de Marseille player Éric Di Meco is already thinking big for the other club in the capital.
Through a press release, the Paris Football Club announced this Thursday that Agache, the holding company controlled by Bernard Arnaulthad entered into “ exclusive negotiations » with a view to a majority stake in the club. The third largest fortune in the world should own 55% of the shares of PFC initially, then an additional 30% by 2027, compared to 15% for the group Red Bull. The current leader of Ligue 2 is therefore preparing to change dimension, and that makes many people dream.
“You play for the first five places in a row if you don’t do anything”
Although the future Parisian management intends to proceed step by step, Eric Di Meco believes that the PFC could quickly hit hard. “ We are talking about a budget of 200 million euros, that means that if you work well, and when you see that Red Bull is behind with everything that it generates, that is to say the experience, a Klopp who could come give some advice, a good coach who arrives quickly, a rapid rise, judicious recruitment… You immediately play the leading roles. You play for the first five places in a row if you don’t do anything », estimates at the microphone of RMC the former player of loon.
“You can let go”
Once the machine is started, the Paris FC could then have big objectives in the eyes ofEric Di Meco : « Straight from the top, that means that you can play the Champions League very quickly, that means that your budget will increase naturally. (…) It can rise quite quickly to 300 million and there I think you get into the game and you want to, when you go to the Champions League and you are Paris FC with a shareholder like that, you can let go. And if you let go, you can quickly reach 400, 500 million… And then you become competitive, afterward you must not do anything ».
