The project to take over AS Saint-Etienne led by Jacques Pauly and Laurent Roussey leaves the supporters of the Greens perplexed as it appears too good to be true. The former striker is doing everything he can to give him credibility. Yesterday, he took part in the program “100% Football” on the radio RGB 99.2 FM and made a small revelation: contrary to what he had suggested at the beginning, he would not be against continuing the adventure with Claude Puel, of which he was the assistant in Lille from 2002 to 2006!
“If” he adheres to our project… “
“Being confident is not the point. We have positioned ourselves, we know that there are other files for the takeover of ASSE. Our first approach dates back to 2009. We have ideas, we are persistent. The ambition is to shine a light on this club, which is one of the few in France to have such extraordinary capacity. Our approach is to allow Saint-Etienne to compete with the best French but also foreign clubs. “
“Because of the presence of Jacques Pauly and especially mine, as well as what happened in 2009, our file is not at the top of the pile. Since the doors of the club are closed by the current shareholders, we will go through the shares of Adao Carvalho to enter. “
“The budget of 500 M €? This is journalistic translation, that of immediacy. We have earmarked such an amount for the fifth year of our mandate. The future of Claude Puel? Nothing is stopped. I can give you the name of a manager, if in two weeks Inter Milan come looking for him, he won’t be waiting for me. One of the values of X3 France is respect for commitments. Claude, with whom I worked for five years in Lille, has another year of contract at Saint-Etienne. If he adheres to our project, why wouldn’t he stay? He has faults and responsibilities, but we have to admit that he has pitched a lot of youngsters and finished the season well. “
🚨 BUTASSE alert! 🚨

Puel kept by Roussey at ASSE?
If he manages to become manager of ASSE, as he envisages in the event of the club being taken over by X3 France and Jacques Pauly, Laurent Roussey would ultimately not be against keeping Claude Puel, while his former colleague was initially pushed. towards the exit.
