Representatives of PSG’s ultra-fan groups called on Nasser Al-Khelaifi to leave
Nasser Al-Khelaifi is feeling the heat after overseeing yet another year of failure in Europe.
The Collectif Ultra Pari statement
Representatives of the ultra-fan groups PSG called on the president to immediately step down from his role. Paris Saint-Germain came to terms with Real Madrid in the Champions League on Wednesday, slipping two goals to seal their last-16 elimination. With the likes of Neymar, Messi and Mbappe leading an all-star team, Ligue 1 first place doesn’t seem like enough to quell supporters’ fury that they can’t keep up with supplies in Europe.
A statement released by the Collectif Ultra Paris begins that the unacceptable and inevitable disappointment they feared and foresaw has unfortunately passed. The statement also says how can they be in the mood to move mountains when their season seems to start in February and they play indoor competitions at a walking pace.
How can they have a genuine game plan when their squad is nothing but a bunch of stars that barely complement each other. How can a coach be a respected head of the locker room when he is clearly not the true decision maker. How can a squad be rebuilt when eternal substitutes can happily see their contracts with such comfortable salaries.
Collectif’s statement continues to demand Nasser’s exit, arguing that they don’t have short memory. they know that their return is due to President Nasser, but it is clear that he is not the man for the job. It was also said that the current situation of the club required a complete reorganization at all levels and the daily presence of its president.
A little about the topic
The current president took over in 2011 at the head of new owners Qatar Sports Investments, and has overseen massive spending at the club and an unprecedented run of domestic success. However, the Champions League title remained elusive and Wednesday’s crash was Paris Saint-Germain’s latest setback. Nasser was left out for elimination, even attempting to storm into the referees’ dressing room after the match in Madrid to protest their refusal to ban Benzema’s first goal for an alleged violation of the build-up.
