OM supporters in stress in the face of an unexpected crisis

• The possible departure of André Villas-Boas and the likely sanctions of financial fair play worry OM supporters a lot.
• They also closely follow rumors of a possible sale of the club by Frank McCourt.

It's a beautiful day in May in an unconfined Marseille. André Villas-Boas, back in Marseille, makes a detour to the port of Malmousque and poses in front of a fresco bearing his image. The photo is immediately posted on Instagram with a cryptic caption: "Thank you Marseille. For OM supporters, it's the start of a scary period. Did André Villas-Boas just say goodbye to them? The Portuguese coach seems indeed on the start - he has just refused a proposal to extend the contract and could take the same path as his friend Andoni Zubizarreta, who has just left the club.

“I eat blood from stress. Last week, Yoann arrived in our Twitter inbox with this request: "Do you have a little clue regarding the future of OM? Just a little "it's really shit" or "it's going to be ok", because I would like to stop stressing. A week later, his mental state did not improve much. "It's more than stress, it's a big concern," he says. We don't know where the club is going. "

"Joy in rout in a few days"

A few weeks ago, Yoann celebrated with his fellow supporters the first qualification in seven years for the Champions League. “We went from joy to rout in a few days. Nothing could have imagined such a chaotic offseason, with the departure of Zubizarreta, the probable departure of Villas-Boas and the rumor of the club's sale. "

Another supporter, Najet Rami, had paradoxically prepared for this slump: "When we support this club, we know that when all is well, it never lasts very long and that something will fall on your head", quips she. She too is very worried: "We are going to start a transfer window without a sports director and with a coach on the start… Once again, Jacques-Henri Eyraud did not anticipate anything. "

The president has been severely criticized by supporters - he has received dozens of death threats in recent days. Many fans call for his resignation: "Football is not his field, he must stop," urges Mohamed, for example. "He will end up killing the club," says Marco. Some hope that the club will be sold quickly and that "JHE" will be landed in stride.

"In the sights of financial fair play"

"We are not here to screw up the mess, we hope that everything will work out. "From the height of his 33 years at the head of the South Winners, Rachid Zeroual tries to calm the game:" It is at the end of the ball that we pay the artists, "recalls the old sage of the South turn, who believes that many supporters “let themselves be overwhelmed by their emotions. "He recognizes, however, that the financial situation of OM can give cold sweats:" It is clear that we are in the sights of financial fair play! "

Rachid Zeroual impatiently awaits any sanctions and “hopes that OM will emerge stronger from this bad patch. You can feel concern in his speech, despite his trust in the facade. "It's always like that," he concludes. We are hostages of our passion. "
