OM – [OLYMPIENS] DEAR FRANK McCOURT…

 
Hèèè ma fouaaa dear Mr McCourt, dear Frank, (sorry, i can’t translate my three first words)
 
My name is Thierry Audibert, i’m fifty-seven years old, older than you, so you must respect me please… joke.
 
As you can see, i’m not too serious, as often most of those are born in Marseille.
 
Frank, i’m laughing because it’s my nature, but the situation is grave enough and conduct me to writing some words direct to you, in your own language. I’ve just learned english for seven years in school many many years ago, and i’d never so practiced it. So my letter will not be very long.
 
Your Champions Project for Olympique de Marseille is dead. You put on the table more than two hundred millions euros. It was your money and it has been blown in the wind, the Mistral, do you know the Mistral ?
 
This project is now on the ground. It’s time to change. As you know, there will be no Champions League for the next season.
 
Two persons got this check. Jacques-Henri Eyraud and Rudi Garcia.
 
You can’t keep them. It’s not possible. Definitively. You have to build a new project with new persons more competents for managing this club in this special town.
 
I advise you to talk with Mr Pape Diouf and ask him to assure a transition for one or two years. He could put back in its place the club, on the right road, because he knows football and Marseille very well.
 
Take the time, Frank, to choose a new president.
 
For the moment we are particularly angry with Eyraud and Garcia. They must be cutted off quickly. Big decisions for the next season must be taken now. You have no time. You have to organize a good transition.
 
We are all waiting now your decisions and actions. We are looking to you. We are millions. Dont disappoint us, please, dear Frank.
 
Vive le grand Roger Magnusson (i think you don’t know Roger Magnusson, i’m very sad for this).
 
Thierry B Audibert
