A situation which makes Bernard Lionswhich follows theASSE for the newspaper THE TEAMvery optimistic for the Greens since he sees Larry Tanenbauma man more powerful than Frank McCourt.
“A fortune which is equivalent to three times that of McCourt in Marseille”
“ Several people were supposed to come at the start, including Mr. Pagliuca who is in the majority at Atalanta Bergamo. And in fact, they didn’t really get along. This is why Larry Tanenbaum created Kilmer Sport so that the structure would 100% own ASSE. There are no 3/4 shareholders like Mr. Textor at OL. I am extremely confident. The club is saved financially by people from the world of football and by a fortune equivalent to three times that of McCourt in Marseille », he promises on the channel’s microphone YouTube Red Cardbefore adding a layer.
“Gazidis is oversized for ASSE”
“ As a suburban president (Jean-Michel Aulas) said, Gazidis is oversized for ASSE. I remind you that he is a founding member of MLS, CEO of Arsenal for 9 years and in Milan where he put everything back together in three years after the title of Italian champion. This is an incredible and indisputable sporting achievement. », adds Bernard Lions.
