“No break with the coach”: the Ultras call for “general mobilization” behind the MHSC

Les Ultras de la Butte Paillade 91 décrètent la “mobilisation générale”. Midi Libre – JEAN-MICHEL MART

Quelques jours après une banderole hostile à Michel Der Zakarian, la Butte Paillade, principal groupe ultra du MHSC, réfute la rupture et appelle à l'union, ce vendredi 16 février. 

"All together behind Montpellier Hérault! Everyone to the stadium!" Less than a week after its hostile banner against Michel Der Zakarian, Butte Paillade 91, the main ultra group in Montpellier, called for "general mobilization" behind the MHSC during the arrival of Metz, Sunday at La Mosson. 

"We wish to call for sacred union around the club", wrote the Ultras Pailladins in a press release published on their Facebook page. < /p>

"Sacred union of all the orange and blue people, the players, the coach, the management, loyal or occasional supporters, journalists and all Montpellier residents", they add. 

"In the background to achieve the objective of maintaining"

This press release comes five days after the group deployed a banner targeting the MHSC coach, Michel Der Zakarian, during the defeat against Lyon (1-2), last Sunday: & ;quot;MDZ: 3 points lost because of an "stupid", how much to gain thanks to you ?".

This position provoked numerous reactions. "Here and there we hear criticism of us, of the coach and the group of players, as well as of the recruitment unit. Justified or not, that is not the question for the moment. "The differences in points of view on the shape of the season must take second place to achieve the objective of maintaining", believe the Ultras. 

An essential "general mobilization"

"To those who might think that the rag is on fire, rest assured, this is not the case, our message to MDZ last Sunday does not mean a break with the coach , the number of points won or lost will no longer be able to be recovered and the accounts will be done at the end of the season, add the supporters.

Not holding a grudge after the mockery over the spelling mistakes on the banner, Butte Paillade 91 decrees that it wants to make "la Mosson impossible to play for" the opponents, and Metz from Sunday. "General mobilization behind the club is essential and each of us can participate." They lead the way.
