Why isn't there a Jean Capdouze option?

I have chosen William "Bill" Arthur over Brian Carney because of his accent. William has an educated middle class accent which will attract new viewers. Brian Carney's Irish accent might put some people off.

'William' Arthur has never done color commentary in his life, do you even watch the sport?

I watch the sport regularly. I have even managed some French players.

William Arthur often does sideline commentary, which could count as "colour" commentary. I am sure that Mr Arthur would slot in just fine as Mr Stephenson's replacement.
