The former president of Olympique de Marseille, Bernard Tapie, commented on the possibility of the arrival of Mourad Boudjellal at the head of the Marseille club.

Approached by the newspaper Nice morning, the 77-year-old man thinks that the former president of the RC Toulon rugby club will be the man for the job. “You need a prisoner and he is of that temper. Take my word for it, he will do (…) We cannot say that he is a stranger in the region. He has demonstrated his skills in running a sports club. Frankly, that would not be bad news. He will get there. But let him watch out anyway. Because if it takes over Marseille, I take over Sporting Toulon!“
Bernard Tapie is nevertheless very measured as to a favorable outcome. “I’m not sure we are on the way to an agreement because, according to the latest news, despite the sanctions from UEFA, OM will be able to compete in the Champions League. It’s not nothing. It gives hope … There is nothing to suggest that McCourt is a seller. We must therefore remain very careful in this matter. Wait for confirmations and remove all doubts.”
