He tried to purchase Olympique de Marseille football club in early 2007. Marseilles' boss broke off talks in March 2007 with Kachkar after the Canadian businessman asked for a delay for further due diligence required by his bankers to pay the 115mil euro price that had been set for him to take over the former European champions.

The order has been stayed pending an appeal to the Irish Supreme Court.
