Just when we thought the club was in complete disarray, here's news that will delight the supporters… or maybe not!

SUCH GOATS I RARELY SEEN

Olympique de Marseille has found a new owner, much to the delight of Madame Dreyfus, who was tired, and I quote, "of a football club closer to goats than sardines" (editor's note: we still question the meaning behind this statement). But how will the Marseille supporters react upon learning the name of the new owner, the wealthy Nasser Al-Khelaïfi, president of PSG! And more importantly, why would this evidently rational man want to get involved in… excuse my language… this mess?

Well, Mr. Al-Khelaïfi has quite the audacity and seeks to demonstrate the extent of his wealth, confirming a controversial statistic: the more money a club has, the more it weighs!

Nasser Al-Khelaïfi reportedly stated, "I need a new challenge, my Mount Everest, to have a club where everything is to be done […] such goats I rarely seen!"

THERE'S URGENCY!

We met Antho, also known as Toto la Tomate, a lifelong supporter of Olympique de Marseille, who shared his thoughts with us: "If it's true, and I emphasize if it's true, well, let's see, there's urgency! Nothing can be worse than Michel and Labrune. But hey, be careful! I don't want to see the players in advertisements for shower gel, you know what I mean, we're not in Paris here!"

Emotions are running high in Marseille today…
