Regis le Bris - confirmed

[Maravilla]

The pathetic mags in the replies. They do realise Howe was way down their pecking order and was relegated with Bournemouth

Genuinely don't get their mentality at all. Pretty much any Sunderland-related content on YouTube/Twitter is absolutely full of Mags in the replies whereas I very much doubt that 99.9% of Sunderland fans, on here at least, would have any interest in doing likewise.

If the club's briefing this stuff (and it obviously is the club behind it) it then it's a pretty done deal I guess. Let's just hope he's decent.

spot on

It’s a very meh appointment. Hopefully it’ll help get the best out of our French contingent but it’s hardly thrilling.

I’ll support him but I suspect he’ll be gone within a year.

 

[craigypants]

I'll get behind the fella because we need a good start to the season. Hope it works for him and us and we have found a gem.

 

[ftm1971]

Good luck to the lad, he's going to need it

 

[gramw]

Has he turned us down yet?

 

[Deleted member 11942]

Xabi Alonso got relegated recently as well mind.

Not comparing the two as coaches but it doesn’t always tell the full story.

You're right like. You can pick out over a hand full of managers relegated from one club succeeding at another.

Howe relegating Bournemouth before securing Champions League for the Mags

Moyes relegating us before taking West Ham to Europe

Alonso getting relegated to winning the German League

Etc.....

 

[Mark E Smith]

He reminds me a bit of Steve Tyler from Aerosmith

 

[Deleted member 11942]

If he can get us doing this I'll be happy

Can he bring that superb 80s soundtrack with him?

So he was our 5th choice. As we clearly interviewed the other 4 first .

So will still had a better win percentage than this lad hasn't been relgated yet, still much younger and had less experience, and one is now at a club in Europe and the other is coming to free fall sunderland. Not really sure its a gotcha moment the lad thought he was going for, especially when there was a lot of folk unsure about still as well. But wanted him more because it made sense to sack off the season if that atleast was the clubs plan

 

[Ferryhill Exile]

Like Neil and Mowbray.

Soon worked it out though didn't they.

 

[Rigsby]

I’ll get behind the new coach however Speakman/KLD are massively in debit due to their actions. The pressure on the new coach is significantly higher due to their actions and ludicrous statements.
If Dodds and Proctor are anywhere near the first team the pressure and noise will increase massively.

 

[Realist]

@Di Canios Knees - Deserves a lot of credit, put his neck on the line with this, and got the Hummel craic bang on.

Much better than Rubberknees that's for sure.

 

[JL1985]

I wish him well, it's in all our interests that he does a good job.

 

[deodrant2]

Just to be clear some on this thread getting excited about a lad who's just got his team relegated, and has a 30% win rate.

They’ll be the same ones who’ll believe he was on a 5 man shortlist, and not 35th choice whatever we’re down too. We’ve got too many fans like that.

The players will know that too.

If he can get us doing this I'll be happy

Shades of us versus Brighton

 

[SAFC 2012]

Bayern Munich have

And?

They’ve been turned down left right and centre this summer aswell and appointed their 20th target
