Bottom line PSA est sous tutelle how do you say that?............... Ward of court or guardianship, trustees if its finacial.......
Merci Madame

From now on Philippe's lips are moving but nobody will be listening except the media of course. They have to report.
1.
His selectorial power are going to be taken away from him. The comité de sélection will be back and in charge. Behind the scenes.
Remember that comité that had always been around was disbanded in 2012 when PSA got the job.
Camous must be kicking himself now. I have said before the national coach job is a mere puppet and his job is a job from hell because of the way FFR have setup the job - this is why potential (foreign in particular) candidates next year had better heed the warning, they're walking into a death trap, career wise I mean. Now in the months to come all the way to the WC they are going to slowly take his power away from him.
2. He is no longer dealing with the LNR and clubs. This is where Blanco comes in.
Blanco's role : If he is going to have any input, it will be to smooth things out btw LNR and the clubs. That's an area where he can have some use. I'm not saying he will succeed because the rift is now so bad. But let's just say that's an area I could see him getting involved. Blanco is in as a negotiator /facilitator.
The area where PSA has failed abysmally is working with the clubs. Had he done so, he and les Bleus would not be in the **** they're in. No national coach can be successful without working in close cooperation with the clubs. The penny seems to have finally dropped with Camous on this point. He can see that sacking PSA won't fix the problem. Lynching the national coach like they did with Lievremont before the 2011 WC is not a solution either. So he is slowly taking his power away from him. Remove him without sacking him. Remember sacking wouldn't look good as it would amount admiting they're wrong to give him the job. They don't do
accountability at FFR. Not in their vocabulary. Conniving basthards the lot of them. Note that it took over 3 years for Camous to actually make a decision about PSA of whom he is the boss. THREE YEARS ALLO ?! Are these guys slow to react or what. And their relationship with the clubs have been on a slippery slope since after the 2007 WC. Lievremont was not very good in that area as well. PSA has been worse. Because he is a product from the old school. Here is an area that needs rebuilding from scratch. Good luck with that. A huge amount of negotiations mollycuddling arse-kissing money-talk Blanco's invovlment and a bit of Divine Intervention. BONNE CHANCE MES COCOS.
3.
PSA will lose the support of the players - well this is an abvious one. If as a coach you're burnt every bridge with the clubs, the media have started to **** on your doorstep and are preparing the heavy artillery, what's left of your credibility as a coach? Not much. This doesn't go unnoticed with the players.
Senior players the likes of Parra Trin Dhuc are going to turn their back if they haven't already. I think we had glimpses of that in the 6N in particular in the last game.
4. In selectorial terms
Trin Dhuc has got to be back for the 6N and I'd say the November AI.
Whether Philippe likes it or not. PSA's management of FTD is an absolute FARCE. You cannot tell a player like FTD "you know you are part of my plans mon chéri, but I am stil not picking you mon lapin, stay on the sideline and watch". So FTD will be back. I am putting my neck out on that one. Galthié at Montpellier will be mildly pleased with that. But if FTD is fit, I expect him to be recalled.
By WC time next September our Philippe will be doing the Press releases. Interview cameos and smiling to the camera. The coaching decisions during games will still be his. He's in the box after all. But that's it.
