Angry Marseille fans have displayed banners hostile to the club鈥檚 American owner, Frank McCourt, at the Ligue 1 match against Paris Saint-Germain. The club has had a rough start to the season, losing four consecutive games. Fans at the Velodrome stadium on Sunday criticized McCourt's "Champions Project," which aimed to return the club to the summit of French soccer and among the European elite. Banners mocked the project's success. McCourt took over in 2016, invested heavily but the club hasn't achieved stability. Marseille missed out on the Champions League and didn't recruit new players this summer. That has left coach Bruno Genesio with limited options.
