Coincidence or coincidence? For now, it’s hard to know, but the bets are off.

Frank McCourt ready to turn the page?

But that prospect seems rather unlikely at the moment. Unless of course, a famous actor of TV series decides to invest with some friends from Hollywood. After all, nothing is more impossible in the world of French football …
