The OM continues to suffer, anxiously awaiting the decision of the UEFA financial control committee. The European football financial watchdog met last Tuesday to examine the Marseille case, a club in full disarray that has failed to respect the 'settlement agreement' signed in 2022. According to our information, its case is still not settled and will not be until Wednesday. Four years ago, OM was moderately sanctioned by the European authority when it was outside the rules by signing this 'settlement agreement'. It had notably been fined 2 million euros, 1.7 million of which was suspended. But in this deal that allowed it to escape a much heavier penalty, Marseille committed to returning to balance, according to the fair-play financial standards. What it has clearly not done. OM tries to justify part of its very worrying financial situation by an exceptional situation linked to the very sensitive drop in TV rights on the French market. If the UEFA financial experts remain inflexible or not convinced by its arguments, the Marseille club risks severe sanctions that could go up to exclusion from the Europa League next season.
