I te marama o Tihema 1991, i te wa o te tukinga mo Nîmes, i maka e ia te poi ki te kaiwhakawa, i riri ia ki tetahi o ana whakataunga. I karangahia ia ki te whakawakanga a te French Football Federation, a ka whakakorehia mo te marama kotahi. I whakautu a Cantona ma te haere ki ia mema o te komiti whakarongo, ka karanga ia he "ngaro". I whakarahihia tana aukati ki nga marama e rua, a ka kii a Cantona i tana reti mai i te whutupaoro i te 16 o Tihema 1991. Ko te kaiako o te roopu motu o France a Michel Platini he kaiwhaiwhai a Cantona, a ka akiaki ia ia kia hoki mai. I runga i nga tohutohu a Gérard Houllier me tana kairangahau hinengaro, ka neke ia ki Ingarangi ki te tiimata i tana mahi, "I tohutohu mai ia ki ahau kia kaua e haere ki Marseille ka taunakihia kia haere ahau ki Ingarangi".
