"We are ready to make a gesture, we are thinking about which," announced OM to AFP, before the 16th finals of the Coupe de France against Granville (National 2), this Friday (9:05 pm). The Marseillais have obviously learned the lessons from the “recipe-gate”, launched by the leaders of Trélissac after the 32nd final.

The club could for example take the share it costs for the trip and leave part of its revenue in Granville. "The era of RLD's sumptuous spending", Robert-Louis Dreyfus, the former owner who died in 2009, "is over", we informed OM, recalling a period "when money was thrown by the Windows. And this turnaround does not date from the arrival of Frank McCourt ", the American owner, and JHE.

McCourt checks accounts "every three days"

"It's a business," and "a penny is a penny," insists the club, where McCourt monitors accounts "every three days." When Granville hosted OM in the quarterfinal of the Coupe de France in 2016, "they had left us a large part of the recipe," said US Granville president Dominique Gortari to AFP.

If the Marseillais keep their share, "they are in their right. It would be nice of them if they leave it, ”he said. Not all professional teams leave their share of the proceeds to amateurs: Nîmes has not done so, Lille has reserved it for its own amateur partners.
