Regis le Bris - confirmed

So for those saying it's the;

Cheap option - we're paying compensation

Have to work with Dodds/Proctor - We're restructuring the coaching staff

Yes man - Fell out woth his last board for selling his best players
Aye but he can’t swear at the players in fluent english and french at the same time so he’s crap

Apparently nobody wanted to come because they would be stuck with Dodds…

That’s that nonsense blown.

It has already been proved months ago that Fabrizio takes money for posts. In addition to that, where does it say that Dodds won't be part of the coaching staff?

This place is absolutely unreal like.

Take over 120 days to appoint a new manager, get turned down by numerous options, end up appointing a manager at the last minute who coincidentally is part of the same agency that several of our recent French based signings have come from, and yet you still have the usual lemmings queueing up to tell us everything is great.

The club are feeding info such as the above now and are in damage limitation mode. Downie is another example. If he had known about a 5 man shortlist, he would have posted about it weeks ago. Instead, he was fed it today (because there was no 5 man shortlist) to send out to the masses and the club have got exactly the reaction they knew they would, from people too blinded to see the wood from the trees.

I'm sure you'll all lap up the "after an extensive recruitment process, Regis was always our first choice" comment that'll be part of the press release too.

You can chuck all that in the bin, the clappers are back :lol:
 
Well it's just another uninspiring, optimism sapping appointment imo. I'm generally quite positive as well, but this just feels a bit deflating after the links to Cifuentes. Naturally we all hope he does well and proves doubters wrong, but it's hardly got me looking forward to what's to come at all. They had a chance to save some face and get fans on board I feel with Cifuentes, but just feels like same old same old. Huge summer and feels like a very very average choice at best.
Is this appt real? War is coming to KLD if we are not top 10. Losing 20 plus games not acceptable.
 
7 points was the difference between 9th and 13th. And the season before he finished below Le Bris in what was an over achievement for Lorient.

There is also a large amount of context to what happened to Lorient the past season. Le Bris wanted out last summer because of issues with transfers and wasn’t allowed. He also had all of his best players sold underneath him
He was pretty crap most of the season before from what I can see. Had an unbelievable start and then been poor ever since.
 
So. This blokes name was never mentioned despite being on list of names since March. He's being allowed to bring his own staff and we're paying compensation for him. That means he he hasn't come cheap and doesn't sound like a yes man. He yet might turn out to be shite. However, one thing is for sure, they have appointed someone who is the exact opposite to what the majority of people on here said they would appoint.

Nope, because I don’t believe in the grand A bullshit speakshit comes out with, and don’t trust KLD given he’s got previous for not telling the whole truth.

So the media report it but it’s bollocks and the club have paid him to lie? A pointless lie at that when it’ll be clear when the staff come in.

Christ. The bit about new staff is obviously good news and is being discussed as such, people can be happy about that and still think it has been a pisstake. Just comes across like a bit of a patronising wally

I mean 8th to 14th is the definition of mid table. The fact still finished behind le bris in 22/23 is irrelevant because he finished way, way ahead of him in 23/24

Still lost his best players too. They lost ekitike and two of his centre mids.

If he’s got issues with players being sold he’s coming to the wrong club too because he’s likely about to lose a few of his best players here too.

10th for Lorient is a massive overachievement. They are a team always around the bottom of the first league or top of the second league

That’s an extremely long post to completely miss the point mind. :lol:

At no point did I imply Dodds wouldn’t be part of the coaching staff. We’ve had people whinge on for months about how the current coaching set up is why we’ve not been able to bring anyone (despite it being widely reported Still had agreed to come).

The fact we’re making changes just highlights it was bollocks.

He didn’t say it did.

Just that the chat on here was “stuck with Dodds” as in he had to be the number 2. Dodds was always likely to stay, but I’m not sure why people thought he must be the number 2. Or that no coaches were allowed to be brought with the main man

He might well be number 2 of course - I don’t know - but it’s all conjecture
