OM evokes "totally bogus rumors"
This Friday, new rumors of an upcoming sale of OM to Saudi investors resurfaced.
They have been qualified as "false and deleterious" by Mr. McCourt and his entourage.
They were also denied to AFP by a source within the club, who spoke of "totally bogus rumors".
"It's rubbish, it's mind-blowing," added the same source.
OM is going through a period of crisis, with the departure on Tuesday of coach André Villas-Boas, who resigned and then laid off by the club.
President Jacques-Henri Eyraud is highly contested by supporters and the training center was the scene of serious incidents last Saturday.
Only 9th in the championship, but with two games late, OM faces Paris SG on Sunday at home for the "Classic" of the French championship.
