Marseille, under DNCG pressure: more sales needed in January
Marseille face the DNCG in early December and must keep the austerity plan backed by owner Frank McCourt, which means more player sales this winter.
Marseille face the DNCG in early December, and the body that oversees club finances in French football is demanding that the side keep up the cost-cutting plan endorsed by owner Frank McCourt. L'Ăquipe reports that the financial pressure has not eased.
In practice, room to strengthen remains tight. The club will have to move players again in the winter transfer window to balance the books, as it has already had to do at other points this season.
The DNCG's demands set the agenda for the club over the coming months, with the December meeting as the benchmark for whether the measures taken are enough.
