That way L'Equipe tell it, the FFR are considering action against Noves and his fellow Coaches Bru and Dubois for 'alleged misconduct' thought to refer to indiscipline of French players on the Tour to SA in the summer.
On the other hand Midi Olympique are saying that Noves and his Assistants are suing the FFR for payment of the total of €4.5m outstanding on their contracts.
Given that the FFR is a State-funded organisation, we can expect this to be debated in the mainstream media and possibly the Assemble before long. Already, there are rumours in some blogs that the misconduct may include some involvement with the fairer sex. The story certainly has all the required engredients for a long run.
