It's a long, very long storm that has raged in Marseille for several days.
The incidents caused by supporters at the Robert-Louis Dreyfus training center on Saturday, which caused the postponement of the match between OM and Stade Rennais, set the tone.
President Jacques-Henri Eyraud and owner Franck McCourt came out of their reserve, while sporting director Pablo Longoria seemed to be completing a successful winter transfer window.
Not according to trainer André Villas-Boas, who dropped a bomb on Tuesday at a press conference: "" I submitted my resignation, I want to leave. "
"They are destroying an image that is a hundred years old."
Bernard Tapie on OM.
When things go badly at OM, Bernard Tapie is often called upon to give his vision of things.
This was the case this weekend, when he condemned the damage caused by Marseille supporters, but also underline what caused such a situation in the columns of
Provence
.
"The directors and the shareholder, they have been assuming a responsibility for a while now which is not really up to what we can expect from this club."
This Tuesday, Bernard Tapie was contacted by our colleagues from
France Info a
few minutes after the strong words of Villas-Boas.
And did not hide his dismay.
"OM puts on a show ... I want to say, let's stop the costs," Tapie said.
Let the comedy stop.
They are destroying an image that dates back a hundred years! ”

How to deal with the desire to leave Villas-Boas immediately?
“The coach, he wants to resign.
From you to me, who cares, said Bernard Tapie.
Let him go!
If he's not happy, I understand.
But now there is another one who must imitate him, he is the one who is making this mess. "
Without pronouncing his name, the former Marseille president designates the one who has held this position since October 2016: Jacques-Henri Eyraud.
"From himself, he must understand that he is not in his place," insisted Tapie, who believes that Eyraud "has demonstrated that he was certainly good at a lot of things, but in any case not to run a football club like Olympique de Marseille. ”
The journalist from
France Info
then questioned him about the statements of Jacques-Henri Eyraud by telephone on the antennae of the
Telefoot
channel on
Sunday.
“There are two opposing visions.
There is a vision of OM that we know, which has done great things, which has won titles, which has had great success, but also that of OM of chaos, of OM which has had 20 coaches in 20 years, OM of scheming, OM of judicial chronicle, OM of business, ”said Eyraud.
"Wait, if you enjoy talking to me about this asshole's comment, I'll hang up," said Bernard Tapie.
A threat carried out after being revived on the subject.
André Villas-Boas, contractually bound to the Marseille club until June 30, would surely like to be able to do the same with his coaching position.
