Regis le Bris - confirmed
- Thread starter Di Canios Knees

Which is what I said yesterday.
Only relegated once in 2 seasons, thats definitely a positive.

I think Rayjheez le Bree is fair until we hear otherwise from the man himself. I’ve heard French people say multiple pronunciations so it could just come down to familial tradition as to how he pronounces it

People keep repeating that but it’s largely irrelevant. We’re likely to sell our best player this summer. Does that mean we’d accept relegation?
They sold one of their big players last summer in Enzo Le Fee. A couple others left mid way through the 10th placed season. They spent £60m in replacing them.
This could turn out a number of ways but people are just making stuff up to justify it.

This negativity is tiresome…..the club is going in the right direction despite some pretty niaive cock ups along the way both on and off the field. Let’s just see how we progress through a difficult transfer window ( more than ever the bulk of movement will be near the end) and how we set up.
Assuming the new man will fail and the restructuring of the squad will fail and the new pitch will be full of weeds is easy… try the harder road… get behind the club, the manager and the team.
Yes we are a selling club. Just look at the long list of star players we have sold over the last two years …. There is…………..?

It’s definitely not going in the right direction like. Massive step backwards last year. Nowt to say they can’t turn it round but negativity is completely understandable. You should see how fans of other clubs are talking about us if you think it’s just a Sunderland thing.
It’s what our model is isn’t it? Hardly a ringing endorsement for his appointment.

I didn’t say we are a selling club. It’s very likely Clarke will leave this summer though. That’s the same thing as what happened to le bris at Lorient.
It’s the model for a lot of clubs to be fair. People are reading it as a dig at the club and it’s not. It’s just a fact that managers have to deal with squad turnover. It’s not an excuse for what happened at Lorient.
I used the example of Reims the other day (forgetting will still) who finished below Lorient, lost more of their big players and finished in a higher position

It’s how most clubs operate I’d guess at least half the French league made a profit on transfers.
To be fair to him he is probably working with a bit less wiggle room they (Lorient) have been lower middle table/relegation for much of the last 10 or so years.

Any word on his back room staff?

8th highest budget in the league apparently. Doesn’t mean they spent it well though but he’s not going to have as much wiggle room here.
It’s the difficult thing to judge in all this. He almost certainly wasn’t spending the money and no idea how much say he had in it.
He probably isn’t going to have a great deal of input here either, so will be relying on some good recruitment.
