The Olympian microcosm ignited yesterday. The cause ? A new standing recruit? No, the resurgence of the rumor around an upcoming sale of OM to investors from the Persian Gulf. This time, it was the journalist Romain Molina who mentioned “talks for a sale” and discussions started months ago with different groups.
The rumor, a veritable sea serpent for two years, has brought Frank McCourt’s entourage out of its hinges. Who once more let us know, yesterday evening, that all this was “totally false”that the American owner was here for a long time and that he was considering possible legal action once morest those who peddle this type of noise.
Moreover, Pablo Longoria and Pedro Iriondo, OM’s strategy director, are expected in Boston at the start of next week to discuss the club’s long-term future with McCourt.
