The president of OM should be sanctioned very hard by the disciplinary committee this Wednesday, February 26.
“Corruption”, “shit championship”, Pablo Longoria used very strong terms last weekend during the defeat of Olympique de Marseille against Auxerre after the exclusion of a Marseille player, Cornelius and An undistred penalty on Quentin Merlin.
Words that have gone around the European press and which are not without consequences for the Marseille leader who has attracted the wrath of all the instants of French football. Disable for the vice president of the League, in turmoil because of TV rights problems.
Extreme case, extreme procedure. The President of the Marseille club will be explained in videoconference before the disciplinary committee of the Professional Football League (LFP) and will know his sanction a few minutes later. Despite the apologies presented on Tuesday, February 25, recognizing that there “had no corruption in French football” and that “the form was not appropriate and this word”, the sanction could be very heavy.
According to the qualification of his remarks, the sanction could go from a few games to a few months. According to lawyers specializing in these files as indicated by RMC, the concept of “coarse/abusive behavior” could be retained. If this is the case, Longoria would be exposed to a sanction of 12 suspension games. “Intimidating or threatening behavior” can be punished with six months suspension. The minimum and advantageous sanction would be three suspension games for “excessive and moved behavior”.
