With Mathias Merlo in Toulon
Mourad Boudjellal announced succinctly this Tuesday in Var-matin that he threw in the towel definitively as for the resumption of Sporting Toulon. After making him two new proposals this weekend to the majority shareholder of the SCT, Claude Joye, without positive feedback, the former president of the RCT decided on Tuesday to put an end to negotiations to take over the football club evolving in National 2.
Death in my soul, "so much I would have liked to give back to the club of my city its luster of yesteryear. I went to the end of what I could do. I'm not embittered, but disappointed for Toulon ... ", says Mourad Boudjellal. According to our information, Claude Joye stubbornly refuses to negotiate the redemption price, set by him at 6 million euros. A sum far too high for a club which will play next season in National 2.
“A declaration of war” for Sporting supporters
An announcement which, according to Var-matin , has electrified the supporters mobilized for weeks to obtain the resignation of the current leaders. "It is a declaration of war," one of them reportedly said in the daily.
Still according to our information, it is not certain that Mourad Boudjellal is pursuing his other project, that of buying the club from Athlético Marseille, which is playing in National 3. He might prefer to wait until next season to try again with Sporting Toulon Club.
