Regis le Bris - confirmed


any evidence dodds and proctor are being kept in their current roles?

Being replaced.


By Monsieur Le Dodds and Michel Procteur.

It will be interesting to see what happens, given the supposed work permit problems for RLB that would surely mean even bigger problems if he wanted to bring in his own coaching staff. Sports coaches don't qualify unless they are "elite" and approved by the FA. Dodds has obviously been promoted to Assistant Head Coach though which also complicates matters.
 
I mean the Brighton and Brentford owners were involved in building the data models they use (which have brought them success in previous endeavours) so I’d imagine have a bit of input into that. Is there any evidence of KLD knowing anything about any of this. Just saying he is young so can learn seems some leap to make.

It's a leap to think someone so young owning a football club doesn't have any real interest in shaping how it's ran.
 
The only thing I'm convinced of is that he wasn't first choice. That's it. I know nothing else. Neither do you.
Also that he was being replaced at Lorient after relegating them and being unpopular with fans and the ownership. Don’t forget that.

I have no problem with the bloke and hope he’s an incredible success. I’m highlighting the gross incompetence of those who hired him, which raises question marks over his suitability.

Answer me this…at this point in time (let’s not get into hypotheses about what might happen) does this look like ‘progression’ from Mowbray? Simple yes or no.
 
End of the day all the negative people on here who never have anything positive to say are going to draw their own narrative on how and why he’s being appointed.

Now, I don’t claim to know everything, but I certainly do know at least a little bit more than the aforementioned doom posters, so just let them get on with it.

Get behind him, get behind the team and crack on.
 
I am.

1)He had a good season in a league that is stronger than the one we are competing in, in 22/23.

2) As a Frenchman and French speaker, He might be able to get more out of the French players that we have.

3) He has worked with with young players for several years before becoming head coach. Whilst senior football is very different, he might be more comfortable to manage/blood youngsters than other head coaches would be. We have a very young squad.
Let’s hope he comes good and they give him a complete competitive squad.

There’s zero evidence. He has no knowledge or education…dropped out of Leeds Polytechnic, then dropped out of a college course. He has no credentials, just a bank account
 
Never heard of the fella, but if he’s the new manager, he’s deserves his chance to try and get the team performing. It may work out great, or not so great, but nothing anyone can do but give the lad time and see how he performs.
We know the whole team has holes in it like Swiss cheese so may well take time to get that right, and this would be the case regardless of whichever manager comes in.
Hopefully gets us off to a flyer, but it doesn’t all click instantly we all have to remember what he has to work with from last season. It’s now down to the hierarchy to try and get him the players he needs to help him succeed
 
You'd hope so as this is the only way a signing like this will work.
If he'd come in on his own and had to work with Dodds and Proctor he's set up to fail from the off.
Now, from a personal point of view, I just don't trust anything they may say now. They have lost my support after having to move seats to accommodate the scum and the BCB debacle. I even offered, via Email to the club, to repair the damage the scum caused f.o.c. Did they respond?, they could not be bothered to even respond. I did ask GG to bring this up at the RAWA meeting but there were other pressing issues at that time. Reluctantly, my lad renewed our familys season cards for this year but this is my last, whatever may come.. Some way to end over 55 years of solid support.

Impossible to answer. Because it's come out of the blue. But I would cautiously say yes. Because It's the type of head coach I think we should have appointed before now ; Relatively young with a background in youth development. It fits our model. Whether you agree with the model or not is different. But with the direction that was promised....I'm surprised this type of appointment took such a long time coming. I hope it works. Haven't got a clue if it will. Quite an exciting gamble though.

Don’t want to tell us?
 
I always give our new boss the benefit of the doubt so see no reason to change now. Some, I've made my mind up after half a dozen games. What will help sway me is the amount of transfers out in the next few weeks. Transfers in will be the same as the new manager... prove themselves asap.... (not quite a happy clapper or doom merchant so probably a fence sitter)
