The former historic Marseille president wanted to be offensive in Provence about Mourad Boudjellal, eager to buy the club with Mohamed Ayachi Ajroudi.
The soap opera is not finished and the episodes follow one another over the days. In the midst of a media tour for the release of his book “I knew too much” (Solar Editions), Mourad Boudjellal has drawn the wrath of a man whose voice is more than ever on the side of Marseille: Bernard Tapie. The legendary former president of OM between 1986 and 1994, winner of the Champions Clubs Cup against Milan in 1993, does not appreciate the communication and offensive outings of the former boss of RC Toulon on the redemption file of OM.

“What Boudjellal is doing is not good,” Bernard Tapie said on Tuesday. However, he was himself president of a sports club and knows the hopes and passions that this arouses. So he knows that there are things we can do and others that are forbidden to do. ” In our Figaro columns Last Thursday, Mourad Boudjellal notably reiterated his wish to buy OM with the Franco-Tunisian businessman Mohamed Ayachi Ajroudi and to woo Zinédine Zidane in the wake to offer him the post of coach.

“These statements are not worthy of a guy who succeeded like him in rugby. I expected something else from him, including in the possible management of the club. But before I start to say, I’m coming up with Zidane, let’s be serious. Boudjellal really needs to calm down. ”

“What is prohibited is to make public the will to want to take over a club without having taken two essential precautions: the first is that the club is for sale, the second is that you have the means to buy it, says the former politician, always very aware of what is happening in Marseille. However, in this specific case, not only does OM claim that it is not for sale, but I doubt that Boudjellal has the means to afford it. ” On the Zidane subject, Tapie goes a little further and calls for a little distance. “These statements are not worthy of a guy who succeeded like him in rugby. I expected something else from him, including in the possible management of the club. But before I start saying, I’m coming up with Zidane, let’s be serious. Boudjellal really needs to calm down. “

This is not the first time that Bernard Tapie is annoyed with the way the Ajroudi-Boudjellal duo operate on this issue. Last July, after a press release in which he was directly quoted as to a place in the future organization chart, the former Minister, aged 77, told us his desire that “all this uproar does not stop” and that it does not stop. was “neither concerned nor interested” by Mohamed Ayachi Ajroudi’s proposal. To date, if the project led by Mourad Boudjellal remains relevant, the situation has not changed with regard to the current owner, Frank McCourt and its president, Jacques-Henri Eyraud, very discreet in recent months.
