Regis le Bris - confirmed


He’s got something right for once whoopy doo
I think that’s generous. He said an unnamed foreigner. At that stage probably about 20 foreigners had been named. And there is about 70 million Brits. So the number of unnamed foreigners at that point was probably about 8.3 billion. Well done to Nixon for identifying that our manager was probably going to come from the human race.

Speakman and KLD have eventually appointed a head coach who they hope will take Sunderland forward. At least give him and keep the players he needs to have a chance. Hopefully he will have assurances that the players already under contract he wants to keep will be kept. It won't take him long to work out Speakman and KLD if he's been given a duff hand but I do think if he gets the best out of Clarke, Neil, Hume, Ballard, Ekwah, Bellingham,Patterson and hopefully an injury free Alese and Cirkin then he might be a good fit. A striker and defensive midfielder are a must well before the season starts for real. Should any recent signings prove useful I would be pleasantly shocked and surprised but that's to big an ask I would think. However good luck to him because he is certainly going to need it.
The key words you mentioned is what I referred to in a previous post

"Hope and Hopefully"...its copy and paste over the years!!

I'm absolutely sick of it..I love my club to the very core...but now its tiresome and tedious...I renewed once again this season( after a long deliberation)..
But I'm seriously regretting my decision..
Personally I'm dreading this season.
 
No idea which way this is going to go.

Reading through some French views though it seems his time at Lorient has to be put into context that the board sold all his best players.

Even a Quick Look at Transfermarkt shows they made a 30 million transfer profit last season and 9 million this. And that doesn’t include that they didn’t just sell players but also loaned some of their best out whilst under him.

But he seems to play a very unique and unconventional style. Always strikes me with managers like that it is either great or awful. No middle ground. If the players fit, get it and it clicks teams can be great.

If they don’t get it it falls apart compared to a more conservative tactician
