Eh?

Ah I was googling the name in the press release. Literally nothing on his full name. Thanks for the heads up.

[Fox92]

Appleton finally taken his hands out his pockets then?

[MC Prussian]

RT France had him in the studio in March, looking ahead to the 2018 World Cup (Bonnevay then still with Japan):

He looks like Puels older even more boring brother

[KingsX]

Since he has not worked in an English-speaking country, I googled Bonnevay to see if I could find a clip of him speaking the language.  Nothing.

Hope he's reasonably fluent.

[Leicesterpool]

I liked the guy, was a bit uncertain about his appointment at the beginning but go on to prove me wrong. Strong character whose a good coach perhaps just he voiced his opinions too much too Puel's liking. We'll just have to see if the right man left.

If Claude wants his friend in post, there's clearly a connection. It was obvious him and Michael Appleton never saw eye to eye. A shame as I think he is a very good English coach but hopefully this allows the missing links to start fitting together.

 

I was Puel Out at the end of last year but if he is here to stay, we must all get behind him.

 

Good luck Claude and the rest of your coaching team.

Puel isn’t going anywhere -this confirms it I suppose

the decline continues

Is Puel still getting Sacked by the end of June ?

[Clever Fox]

Something clearly happened during the bad run and Appleton is taking the fall for it, It would seem.

it's going to be a different scenario for the players with all the senior staff now Puel's people. This make Stowell the only go between the players will know and so It seems the players are going to have to toe the line. This will only end in one of two ways. More success or abject failure.

 

As for the new man, I'm not sure working in far flung places with poor football  standards qualifies you to work with top players in the premiership.

On the other hand if he's as good as Puel thinks then fresh Eyes can bring a new approach to our tactics.

 

I'm disappointed to see Appleton go, yet at the same time excited by Puel's additions to the squad and so lets hope this new Asst. Manager follows in that vein and is up to the job.  Otherwise it could be a long season.

Lets see if it's a success before we start crowing.

I'm certainly not crowing, just joking.

 

Puel is only one or two bad results away from being hauled into the firing line again. A 5-0 thumping away at Man Utd the opening day of the season might get the "Puel Out" brigade up in arms.

Puel Out aren't you?

You lot would love us to get relegated just to prove your gloomy proclaimations warranted. 

[norwichfox]

I hope Jacques Bonnevay  is a fluent English speaker (at speed) and will be dealing with all media comms.

[DANGEROUS TIGER]

I can't comprehend why we have brought in an assistant manager who has no real pedigree. I think this is a mistake, but obviously  I wish him well.

 

Good luck to Colin Appleton.

[lcfcsnow]

So Appletons been replaced by a nobody basically, they're around the same age so chances are he's just an old friend. Bonnevay and Plancque now. 

[breadandcheese]

Bit short-sighted. It only leaves Stowell as caretaker manager during the season. 

[Sharpe's Fox]

Puel bringing in his mates so no one can challenge the boring loser football he produces.

Except for the fans, the upper structure of the club and the owners.

I was I also said that after the way pre season is going in quietly confident things will be ok

Great to see Stowell still here. Always love watching him put a few in top bins during the warmup.
