KBSS said "If i'm honest neither were well known to me so can't say anything for or against either candidate but both would be intresting. It would to many of our fans be like when Poch was appointed, many asking who?" so it can't be Deschamps.
Who is Puel?
I think that some of the points in Saints_is_the_south's post can also be levelled at Poch whom many thought had no plan B. Knowing the Board's attention to detail, I would imagine that they have fully researched the candidates strengths and weaknesses.
