Antoine Kombouaré steps into crisis

Deny it all he will, new manager Antoine Kombouaré takes the reigns of Paris Saint-Germain with the club veiled in crisis mode.

Through a series of mismanaged moves by PSG président Sébastien Bazin, the club is dealing with a end of season collapse that dropped the club out of the Europa League, precipitated by the poorly timed decision of announcing that Paul Le Guen would not be back, troubling financial position of ownership’s underlying business and a likely defection of a number of players.

Of matters directly on the pitch, the laundry list of talented players either fed-up with the events around the capital since Charles Villeneuve was ousted or simply be sought-after in the transfer market effectively works through their starting eleven. While there is quite obviously a great deal to be settled it is entirely possibly that les Rouge et Bleu lineup by the time August rolls around will no longer include Mickaël Landreau, Guillaume Hoarau, Stéphane Sessegnon, Jérémy Clément, Clément Chantôme and Jérôme Rothen. Add Mamadou Sakho to the delight of Arsène Wenger’s wish list and first course of business now that the dog and pony show introduction of Antoine Kombouaré to the public is complete, is to stem the crisis.

After considerable thought this will serve as my final post. If you care to apply for this blog please contact Daryl with The Offside (click here) after reviewing the guidelines at www.theoffside.com/bloggers.
