Bernard Tapie's son, Laurent, was the guest of Cnews this Tuesday morning.
He announced that he wanted to launch a fund with supporters to build a statue representing his father carried by Marseille players, because "
the city does nothing and the club does nothing
".
The emblematic former president of OM died just a year ago.
"
It's still quite classic in all clubs that, when an emblematic figure dies, we do something,
justified Laurent Tapie.
Robert Louis-Dreyfus was the president of OM for 13 years.
Under his presidency, OM won absolutely nothing.
And as soon as he died, we renamed the training center the Robert Louis-Dreyfus training center.
And it was normal to do so.
So it is not normal that the president who allowed OM to become what it is has nothing.
As the town hall does nothing, the club does nothing, it is I who will do it.
I am going to launch a subscription so that all those who loved my father beyond OM supporters, contribute to make a statue which will be an image that has existed, of the players who wore it with the European Cup.

After the death of the "Boss", the town hall and the club announced their intention to pay tribute to him by renaming a stand in his name.
A project that has since remained a dead letter
