Mourad Boudjellal on failed OM takeover: ‘Too big to start’

“In this story I let myself be seduced, it was exciting, He explained. I never wanted to buy OM, but Ajroudi (Mohamed Ayachi Ajroudi, a wealthy Tunisian businessman), maybe he had the means or the investors to do it. Except he just wanted to go back and forth. And mostly she lied because she never had contact with McCourt when he assured me. The media coverage drove him crazy. […] We were totally delusional, ridiculous. »

“I think I would have failed miserably”

“I wasn’t good, but I don’t care about my image, He added. Even Picasso did drafts. […] So much the better that didn’t happen with OM. He was too big to start. I think I would have failed miserably. And that I would be driven out of Marseilles with tar and feathers. »

Last June, Mourad Boudjellal explained in an interview with Good morning want ” to apologize “ with Frank McCourt, the current owner of OM.
