“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Sochaux, and it is not being withdrawn.

No end in sight to Sochaux's wait for a win
5 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Sochaux has to find a result from somewhere.

Selim Pellissard keeps the receipts
“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Sochaux may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

The bid was some way short and Sochaux did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Tours take the points off Sochaux
Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.
