Statement from Frank H. McCourt
Frank McCourt categorically denies the misleading and deleterious rumours about the sale of OM. The sole purpose of these rumours is to destabilise a project in which Frank McCourt has been personally involved in for more than four years:
"My commitment to OM, its employees, the City and the people of Marseille is total. I will remain, along with the entire management of OM and its President, Jacques-Henri Eyraud, committed to seeing this project through to the end. We owe it to OM and its history, past, present and future. I also wonder about the origin of these repeated campaigns of disinformation and wonder who benefits from these manipulations".
