Užderėjo truputi naujienų apie ekipą. Ant bangos esantis žurnalistas Molina nieko gero pasakyti neturėjo:
"Saint-Etienne has promised 25 million sales to the DNCG. I have the impression that the guys are making suspicious estimates. And that's okay! You just need to know the right people. [...] That's it. everything from cronyism to French football.
Saint-Etienne is complicated. I don't know how they're going to end the season. Everyone is at war. There are dates where one of the presidents insults the whole club. And the other he does the same on his side. I know that there are players who don't want to go to Saint-Etienne just for the climate which is so bad.
Claude Puel may be adapted for another generation. When you are president you do not insult the whole club when you welcome a new player. This is unheard of.
The two presidents insult each other off it's violent. Then with Puel it did not match on a lot of things. The club is doing badly and it's pretty sad because it's a historic club."
Fantastika.
Kita savaitė labai svarbi klubui. 23d. turėtų būti daugiau info dėl klubo pardavimo, nes iki tada turi ateiti visi pasiūlymai. Labai daug info vaikšto. Vienur teigiama, kad prezidentai abu nori kuo greičiau nusimesti klubą, kiti, kad laukia geresnių laikų. Tikiuosi viskas kuo greičiau užsibaigs. Taip pat 25d. meet'as su DNCG, kur bus aptarta finansinė situacija ir ar klubas gali įdarbinti žiema. Puel tiki, kad galės ir norėtų 2-3 žaidėjų. Realistiškiausia būtų nuomos pagrindais.
Tuo tarpu Puel ir Soucasse davė interviu L'Equipe, Le Progres. Kaip visada sakė, kad kito kelio, nei susimažinti algas, išsiparduoti, nebuvo, tačiau nuo sekančios vasaros (jei neiškrisime į Ligue 2), gyvenimas taps lengvesnis ir galėsime pirkti žaidėjus. Taip pat Soucasse įdomią mintį pasakė, kad iš komercinės pusės rekordinės pajamos nusimato. Šitą tvirtina ir prieš tai mano įmestos fin ataskaitos. Bent jau kažkur gerai tvarkosi klubas. Puel dar davė interviu Rothen. Geriausia dalis apie Ruffier:
With Ruffier it was quite simple. There was no problem with the Ruff, and as soon as I started, with the 2nd Game, Bordeaux, I gave him advice from my sidelines on a dismissal. And immediately he spoke very sharply ... I've never experienced this since I was a coach. It continued, with another match behind, behind closed doors and everyone heard (…). At one point, the team was in trouble, he was also in his game management, and I just told him that in some games I was going to put Moulin on. I offered him 2 options: to be on the bench or to really breathe. And he got up right away, he took it very badly, he called his agent and it went on all the networks, the media. I .. got set on fire for putting a player to rest"
