We were all hoping for a victory for Olympique de Marseille last night for the last match of the year, but the Olympians completely got through this meeting against Angers. The Marseillais delivered a catastrophic first period, “disastrous” in the words of André Villas Boas. And they paid a heavy price for it.

There is also a reflection to be carried out on the “salary cap –
“Without drastic reduction in the wage bill, there is no sustainability of the model. We will return, next season, to a situation where the French clubs will have consumed all of their own funds. There will be no more ability to face the slightest hazard. Payroll alone will represent nearly 90% of estimated income excluding transfers. It is considerable. A payroll reduction of 30% would make it possible to return to a form of economic equilibrium, assuming an amount of TV rights equivalent to that which existed before Mediapro and relying on reasonable sales of players. (…) There is an emergency here at the end of the season so as to avoid bankruptcy filings. And a reflection to be carried out around the cost of the professional workforce. Much more variability should be introduced into the contracts, so that if the matches cannot be played or only behind closed doors, that this has an impact on the variable part of the remuneration. There is also a reflection to be carried out on the “salary cap”, not necessarily individual but collective. ” Jean-Marc Mickeler – Source: L’Equipe

“It’s a bad way to end the year. The opponents did their job, we didn’t. We finished the year fifth but with a lot of work ahead of us. Already with Montpellier which is a good team that we will face from the start. (…) We can and we must do better. We can perhaps take advantage of the transfer window of January to make blows ” André Villas-Boas – Source: Press conference after Angers match – OM (2-1) (23/12/2020)
