For Manu Lonjon, Saint-Etienne could experience a very difficult end to the championship. The club is on the brink of implosion according to the journalist.
“Saint-Etienne is on the brink of implosion … There is a concern between some experienced players and Claude Puel. The coach sets players apart to assert his authority. We can be surprised by the management of Debuchy or M’Vila. Puel sends troubled messages, and it was felt as such by the group … We must also note the deafening silence of Roland Romeyer. Whether it is him or someone else, there is no one who communicates to try to revive something or to make a backfire. If Puel, it does not pass, there is still a contract of two and a half with 250,000 euros monthly … And Sainté can not afford to fire him. There is also the transfer window… We can ask questions about what has been done in terms of recruitment this winter. The only arrival is Mason, a player who comes from the National, however talented he may be. And the departure of Béric to lighten the wage bill. But if you are forced to that while on the other side, you keep important contracts like Kolodziejczak, MVila, Khazri or Debuchy which are not in the odor of holiness with the new coach… All the more so than internally, there is a problem between the people who arrived under Claude Puel and the others, cohabitation is very very complicated ”said the Eurosport journalist on Twitter.
