Regis le Bris - confirmed

He's not 5th choice though is he? Not in a million years.
He's the best we can attract after being rejected left right and centre by anyone with any sense. Hopefully a step up from Beale and Dodds though so we will have to get behind him and see where we're at. If our elite succession planning is going to take another 4 months we best start looking for his replacement now if we don't want to write another half a season off. Just in case like.

Still turned us down for Lens, who else?

From memory:

Beale L
Mowbray W
Neil D
Johnson L
Parkinson L
Ross W
Coleman L
Grayson D
Moyes L
BSA L
Dick A L
Poyet L
PDC L
O’Neill W
Bruce W

4 wins, 2 draws, 9 losses. Pretty grim really although some of them did ok even if it wasn’t sustained.

KLD and KS really need to back this guy in terms of improving the squad as I suspect if we aren’t in the top 10 come the end of autumn he’ll be the next fall guy.

I totally forgot about that Rotherham game for Mowbray. For some reason I thought he'd drawn his first match.
 
“Is that the data team? Yeah, it’s Kristjaan here. Do me a favour - get the spreadsheet of mega-data for managers up please.

Ok have you done that? Now filter by “has less than 80 games as a manager”. Is that done? Great.

14 people? Jesus I had no idea there were so many inexperienced managers kicking about. That’s too many though - Now filter that list again for “wins less than a third of their games”.

Don’t f***ing ask why I’d ever possibly want you to do that. Just f***ing do it. Remember - know Jude Bellinghams dad.

How many names is that now? SIX?! For fucks sake man. We need to whittle this down to one.

Any of them just been relegated? Yes - relegated. That’s what I f***ing said. One of them? That’s class. I’ve completed the process then. Send me the details, stat.”

When it's confirmed I'll be happy to wish him all the best. I sincerely hope he does a good job and improves the squad, the first team and the results.
I hope he comes in from an assertive position and brings in his own staff, has demanded a key role in recruitment and made sure that Dodds continues to serve the club best by working with the under 12s.

Everyone hopes he does well.

There’s a different between what we hope for, and what we’ve got a reasonable basis to expect, though.

Rosenior reportedly turned us down.

Yeah sort of, we wanted to press ahead he wanted to wait to speak to Burnley. Either way it's not like everyone is being offered the job and refused it. I wonder who we could have appointed that wouldn't have created this reaction, I suspect nobody.

After the farce when Johnson was sacked and the time it took to appoint Neil, Speakman said that it will never happen again and we will always have a list of options for head coach. So based on his words, I'd say the day after Dodds got the gig for the 3rd time.

So you don't know then.
