Selling ASSE: The Prince of Cambodia and the Greens, the end of Southeast Asia's dream?

 The candidate for the purchase of AS Saint-Etienne, Cambodian prince Norodom Ravichak does not seem to be the lucky one....

In an interview with RFI a few weeks ago, Norodom Ravichak formalized his interest in ASSE, which is on sale and is actively looking for a financially sound buyer.: 

 "I'm not here to make a financial transaction. I want to invest myself in the long term and take care of ASSE. I will bring enough means to achieve these ambitions."

 explained the prince of Cambodia, whose speech and promise can make green devil advocates dream. However, the infection did not last long since then, according to information from the French press, there is not much opportunity for Prince Rachivak to buy Saint-Etienne from Roland Romeyer and Bernard Caïazzo.

The specialized media confirmed that Norodom Ravichak has yet to reach an agreement with KPMG for access to the "data room". Internally, the Cambodian prince's press release was not well received especially because of the confidentiality provisions in the ASSE sale. In addition, reports that Norodom Ravichak has been in contact with Jean-Michel Aulas for an economic partnership with... Olympique Lyonnais may also upset ASSE leaders. Even discredit the project of Norodom Ravichak. In addition, the lack of financial transparency is also a big obstacle that causes the KPMG management unit to drop the profile of the prince from Southeast Asia. In any case, it is no longer likely that this record will be licensed and the chance for the Cambodian prince to be the owner of ASSE has almost disappeared...
