In a column, published by the world, Paul Le Guen, Le Havre coach and former consultant for Canal+, addresses the boss of the encrypted channel Vincent Bolloré to contest the dismissal of sports commentator, Stéphane Guy, for having given his support on the air to Sébastien Thoen, fired two weeks earlier after a sketch mocking the show “Time for the pros” on CNews. “Mr. Bolloré, you are proud to belong – if I am to believe your statements and positions – to this Brittany which, among other qualities, knows how to take a step back, make fun of itself and endure criticism as can – to be no other French region (…) A Breton, I am sure, should not stiffen in the face of such harmless criticisms. In the same way, a minimum of hindsight seems to me recommended in view of the recent events which shake our televisual Landerneau. No, Mr. Bolloré, you must not dismiss Stéphane Guy from Canal +. To want to make an example of him seems totally inappropriate to me. To put it another way, if Stéphane is not at all innocent, he is certainly not a culprit. I know this from having often worked alongside him over the last few years, your star commentator loves Canal, and more than reason! Hence certain excesses, as befits all enthusiasts. Imagine that you could fire him because he abused his platform to show brotherly solidarity seems inconceivable to me. “
