Regis le Bris - confirmed

[Vauxie]

TBF @Vauxie said he had heard nowt.

He's in the hilton the night like

He still got his team relegated. That was exactly your argument 'f***ing hell, employing a bloke that just got relegated' well Leverkusen did and won the league at a canter, Bayern Munich just have, West Ham did and got into Europe, Newcastle did and got to the Champions League.

Being an elite player means fuck all mind. See Gerrard, Lampard, Rooney etc...

I'm also not 'excited' I'm just willing to give the lad a chance and can acknowledge the relegation whilst also look at his playing style, tactics, youth development to see of he'll be a good fit here.

Just saying 'f***ing hell, he's been relegated is shite.

Spot on this mind.

He's a Breton

I have Breton sails it's an omen.

 

[molthemackem]

I’ll back him, it’s a bold move for a change. The real test is in the transfer market

Beale was a bold move!

Moyes? Got us relegated and then got West Ham out of the relegation spots, followed by 2 European finishes and a trophy in one of those

Moyes got relegated after almost 2 decades of management. This guy has done it in his second season.

 

[offmenut]

I'm not too enthusiastic but at least we have someone I suppose

Taking Le Bris here

This seems like a monumentally shit appointment. Fully expect Dodds will be in charge at some point before the year is up.

That’s the spirit.

 

[MadMackem10]

What you on about man..... Say again.

Just saying you are right you can’t compare getting relegated from the prem to ligue 1 but in the same way you can’t compare getting the bayern job to sunderland job.

Could probably make the argument getting relegated from the prem and getting the bayern job is a similar step to getting relegated from french league and getting our job.

A very strange appointment. Someone that retired his late 20s but didn't earn himself a chance in the hot seat till 46. If he had something about him would have came way before then. He only has 2 seasons under his belt, 1 of which he got relegated. Worst defence in the league. Now he has to adapt to a new country having never done it before. But he's worked with young players so none of the above matters

Apart from that though

He's something a bit different - don't think he's a Speakman find though. Hmmm.

Bit about the coaching staff is massive.

 

[nelford_safc]

I’ll give him a chance but I think it’s a poor appointment.

If appointing someone with not a very suitable CV is bold then yes I guess It's exactly that.

I have Breton sails it's an omen.

Probably a bad idea to mention that the Breton flag is black and white. Bugger.

 

[MadMackem10]

Because Still played football manager I think.

I would have been really happy to have got Still, I think this bloke is a solid alternative. For those who didn’t want Still equally won’t want this bloke

It's not comparable marra.

I know a lad has a sister in the WAAFS

 

[SAFC7391]

Well regardless of what we all think about the appointment, I’m hoping we can all just get behind him and not have people running down the stairs to the dugout telling him to fuck off in his 1st game like Beale did

 

[Soton Pete]

It doesn't matter who we get, I will not step into the stadium until Speakman goes. I do wish him well though.

You do have some sort of life don't you?
