On the antenna of the L’Equipe channel Thursday evening, Grégory Schneider totally cracked during a debate regarding OM.
The question was whether Marseille Olympics was the “biggest club in France” following the phenomenal welcome given by fans to the transfer window’s latest recruit Alexis Sanchez when he arrived in Provence earlier this week. While the debate was light and focused on the fervor of the supporters and the enthusiasm surrounding the signing of Alexis Sanchez, journalist Grégory Schneider warned that he was going to throw a huge chill by giving the bottom of his thought and why he might not name OM as the biggest French club. The words of the columnist did not fail to shock on the set, in particular the presenter of the day Giovanni Castaldi, who quickly wanted to dissociate himself from the comments made by Grégory Schneider.

“I cannot admit to putting the label of the biggest French club on a club which has done this to football. Ie who poisoned the adversaries? Who bribed referees? Who corrupted adversaries? Who bought a Champions League? I can’t admit it myself. Legally I don’t care I say. Proof or not, ask Emmanuel Petit what he thinks regarding it, ask Wenger what he thinks regarding it. For proof, you only have to read Eydelie’s book, it has not been disputed. After I know that I break the atmosphere, I know that it is like that but until the end I would think that. So I’m not going to say that they (OM) bought it, I’m saying that it has no value, in my eyes it has no value. launched the journalist live on La Chaîne L’Equipe. The remarks made by Grégory Schneider immediately scandalized the supporters of Olympique de Marseille.
OM’s official response did not drag on
Very quickly in the evening, the director of communication of the Marseille club Jacques Cardoze stepped up to defend OM. “Dear Grégory Schneider, your remarks this evening on the L’Équipe channel are insulting to OM. When a journalist has no proof, he puts forward the argument of inner conviction and lets hatred and jealousy spread… Your venom is so visible. Moreover, I do not see what this debate brings in the current context of our club? If not to want to harm us once more (or create buzz). OM, the biggest club in France. Sorry “ replied the Marseille leader, just as scandalized by the words of Grégory Schneider as the Olympian supporters, who even hope for a complaint for defamation from Olympique de Marseille once morest the journalist from the L’Equipe channel. OM, which has had enough sulphurous trials in the past on its actions, may not want to bring this debate back to the fore when the club has put this period behind it and is managed exemplary manner.
