Anne Hidalgo’s rant
” Is my position irrevocable? Yes because you know, we had opened the door to the possibility of selling the stadium to our club. It is true that in the economic model of the big clubs, they are almost all owners and this argument, we have of course looked at it. The second thing is that to sell, you first had to respect the rules because it belongs to the Parisians, it does not belong to me personally. We are in a country where the rule of law works, there are procedures. There are prices that must be fixed and must correspond to the good. When, after a whole process during which we discussed and tried to assess what the price of the Parc des Princes could be, the club offered 38 million euros… I think the word ‘ridiculous ‘ is the one that fits “, she launches for RFI before revealing the amount of Qatar’s offer.
“We are in a state of law”
” Moreover, we said to ourselves that there was no longer any possible path, let’s stop discussing so as not to reach an agreement. And then we are in a state of law. I don’t know if it’s in relation to Qatar. We are in a state of law. Yes it’s true that with us, stadiums don’t spring up like mushrooms, it’s true that you don’t arrive with a bundle of millions and become the buyer of any property for any conditions », adds Anne Hidalgo.
