Marseille's manager, Michel, made the inexplicable decision to start Fletcher over Batshuayi last week for no good reason. Fletcher apparently missed training the day before the match and still started over Batshuayi. Batshuayi then came on in the game and scored their only goal. Apparently Batshuayi and teammates were miffed at the decision and fan anger at Marseille at the manager has been reaching a boiling point over a horrid season where they are in a relegation fight. Again, yesterday, the manager inexplicably didn't start Batshuayi for reasons no one knows and Marseille were toothless up front. Towards the end of the game there was a big clash between supporters and what seemed like riot police inside the stadium. The scenes were very ugly.
So, Marseille is in total crisis, largely cause their board has allowed an incompetent manager to stay on, and Batshuayi has seemingly fallen out with him. No fault of his, and he will be hurrying for the exits as soon as the season is over. Might even allow us to get him slightly cheaper.
