Common front among OM supporters groups.
Six groups of supporters of Olympique de Marseille signed a joint statement on Wednesday to request the departure of club president Jacques-Henri Eyraud.
“Mr. Eyraud, we are only asking for the essentials: a club with values and a Marseille soul.
Do you see OM as a business?
Well, behave like a manager who made bad choices: assume your responsibilities and go!
", Write the supporters of OM in this press release entitled" Eyraud Resignation!
".
"We regret the violence"
The text is signed by the six main associations of OM supporters: the South Winners, the Dodgers, the Commando Ultra 84, the Fanatics, the Marseille Trop Puissant and the Club des Amis de OM.
By addressing the owner of the club Frank McCourt, the authors of the press release invite him to "answer this cry from the heart: change direction!"
".
"Mr McCourt, the ball is in your court: it is up to you to choose between passion and incompetence", they add.
The supporters of the Marseille club also returned to the incidents at the La Commanderie training center.
“We regret the violence, especially as our action would have been stronger without it.
We wanted to show disappointment and bitterness, but those two feelings gave way to anger for some, ”they say.
Eight supporters were taken into custody pending trial on February 24.
