He also says he does not regret that the deal has not gone through.

“In this story I let myself be seduced, it was exciting. 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 he lied because he never had contact with McCourt, when he assured me. The media coverage drove him crazy. […] We were totally delusional, ridiculous. I wasn’t good, but I don’t care about my image. 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 have been driven out of Marseilles with tar and feathers ”, he confided to the columns of the JDD.
