The only reason he was released is because Kazan couldn't afford to pay their players so were in breach of contract.
I’m with you. St Etienne are a massive French club in transition by the way, most successful French club by miles. Not a mid table also ran they will be competing for Europe going on, been begind rebuilding stadium etc.
I think we all need to give each other proper support so that we can all work through our feelings about Yann. Have to say, I'm pleased he's at St Etienne. Proper historic French club. And Le Coq have been making them some really sexy kits the last couple of years!
