CanadianSoccerFan Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 Apparently some Canadian named Jack Kachkar has made a 100 million pound offer to buy Marseille. Frustrating that there's another Canadian ready to pump their fortune into soccer......... but not here in Canada http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,2002390000-10151,00.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loud Mouth Soup Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 Uhhh, where? Don't see any mention of Marseille there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheeta Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 Marseille are angry at the Swede, 58, being linked with them as part of a potential new owner’s package. .... Canadian Jack Kachkar has made a £100million offer for the French club — and wants Eriksson to replace Albert Emon in charge No? Don't know who this Kachkar fellow is. Never recall hearing of him and I doubt the 100M pound offer is made up of more than a small fraction of his own money. If it's a buisness venture it's a buisness venture. If it's a vanity purchase yeah, it would be nice to see some of that cash spread around on our side of the Atlantic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harwood Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 Maybe this is a good thing! I know I'm dreaming but maybe if he does own Marseille one of his pet projects would be to have multiple Canucks on the team (maybe in the reserves at first ... wouldn't want them to drop out of Ligue 1 (?) I know when I buy Gillingham FC, that's what I'll do... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
