Pierre Blayau Quotations

I am happy with the change of coach. It is true that on a point perspective we are a little bit frustrated. But the change of coach was not destined to have short-term effects. We are still in the race for a place in the Champions League.

I have a lot of respect for the former player, for what he did for the club.

Guy Lacombe can in no way be seen as a choice by default. He is a leader of men and a tactician, who has more years of experience than Fournier.

Rivalry between two sides, whatever their issues, must remain in the sporting domain. But for 20 years, PSG-OM and OM-PSG has been a symbol of division, a long, long way from the kind of enjoyment and spirit of exchange football should promote.

The prevailing sentiment is shame. I beg PSG fans to forgive us for our performance.

We'll have to find the means to fight hooliganism. We'll have to take measures.

In recent weeks, the club hasn't been up to its ambitions which must be to compete in the Champions League. There's no reason to fault Laurent Fournier, but we analyzed the situation and decided to change the coach.

Certain players who were given responsibility by Laurent Fournier perhaps did not deserve it. Perhaps a different attitude is needed and that will be for Guy Lacombe to judge.
