Market10 Aug 2026

Tours turn down Stade Brestois for Bruno Bonnet

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Market10 Aug 2026

Sochaux watching Julien Pons

The interest is real enough to have reached print. Tours have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Pierre Fontaine signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Pierre Fontaine commits to Tours for another 4 years.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Tours

Jean-Pascal Fontaine was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Bruno Bonnet falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Squad10 Aug 2026

No hiding place for Julien Pons

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Julien Pons, and the manager let it.

Player ratings3 Aug 2026

Nobody could get near Bruno Bonnet

Successful dribbles: 56. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Match1 Aug 2026

No mercy from Tours

Dijon will want this one forgotten quickly: 5‑2, every duel lost, and a long ride home. Tours were ruthless in the way good sides are ruthless.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Pierre Fontaine takes the match ball home

3 goals in one afternoon from one man. The other players were also present, a witness confirmed.

Market3 Aug 2026

Yves Aubry hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Tours can pretend not to have heard.

Player ratings3 Aug 2026

Frédéric Pérez pops up at the right end — 7.95

7.95, 1 on the scoresheet, and the specific comedy of a back-four player celebrating like somebody who does this every week. He does not, and that is exactly why the ground reacted the way it did.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Tours

Julien Pons was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad3 Aug 2026

A muscle injury sidelines Bruno Garcia for 16 days

Nobody makes a documentary about a hamstring and everybody in the game fears one. Tours will be careful with the return date, because the second one is always worse than the first.

Match1 Aug 2026

Pierre Fontaine among the goals in a wild afternoon

7 goals in one match, Pierre Fontaine on the scoresheet, and a scoreline that will look like a misprint. Neutrals could not have asked more of Tours and Dijon.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Words at Tours training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Bruno Bonnet is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.
