Regis le Bris - confirmed


The starting point was to have an efficient team. The raison d'être of a system is its results, what it produces. So we need to be efficient as quickly as possible. To achieve this, we began by designing our project a round a very strong defence, allowing us to protect our goal and create transitional situations. Most of the content was built around this, then once it was we were able to work more on our attacking phases, which require more fluidity and longer periods of time.

Another bit from it, guess that's how we'll set up initially.
 
"He is aligned with delivering our playing identity and he shares our ambition to win, as well as our passion for talent development."

Well I'm sold. Bring on the good times!
 
The French Mike Dodds. Great reputation in the youth development phase but a joke act when promoted to first team duties.

Imagine Lorient coming and taking Mike Dodds from us. We'd be reacting similarly I feel.

If he leads us to our highest ever top flight finish as he did with Lorient I’ll be happy to be fair.

And if he does it on with the lowest budget in the league I’ll be ever happier.
 
That reads as though you thought Roy Keane was shite in under 15 games?
What I mean was that I was correct in my dismissing the rule for Keane and McCarthy, very very wrong with Moyes, who I thought would be very successful with Sunderland, however since when new managers/head coaches have been appointed I have decided not to ignore that rule of 15 games.
 
A) KLD and Speakman (and the club in general) have shown they can’t be trusted over a period of time
B) Some people prefer a moan rather than to see us do well
C) People haven’t heard of the new coach so it gives them every reason to slag off the club

I actually think we’ll know by mid September what kind of season we’ll have because by then we’ll know if the coach actually is a Yes Man and we’ll know if he’s working with a Top 10 team or a relegation threatened squad.

Oh well we’re doomed then!

I mean reads well enough but they conceded the most goals in the league last year.
 
I don’t think they have made it look like there is no succession planning, they have made it absolutely obvious there isn’t.
Well I don’t get the whole Will Still thing. Surely there would have been a Gentlemen’s agreement months ago if he was coming. Have they had 3 names they were happy with then all fell through? I’m reluctant to criticise because I don’t know what goes on behind the scenes and we haven’t really lost out much by waiting this long. The centre forward situation is another matter.

Just an opinion here...he is a yes man...
KLD and Speakman aren't fooling anybody....I utterly love my club for 47 years..but i/we have heard it all before..
I'm too long in the tooth to hear bullshite!!...its becoming tiresome!!
