    He might find we sign three more ...

    ... I don't think we'll sell three of our best players anyway.

    Clarke will stay another year imo.

    Maybe the compensation related to his staff coming in?

    I actually think he’s been pretty balanced about if from what I’ve seen over the last 24 hours. has his reservations but will back him.

    Maybe but that doesn’t make him a bad coach or a bad choice. Not saying that’s what you were implying, but L’Orient’s relegation isn’t just down to him.

    Can't say I've seen much of them, but from reading the analysis, it seems that his tactic was to invite pressure, to hold possession in the back line, inviting the press, and then to exploit the space that this leaves with quick passes into that space. Its kind of anti-press.

    no. He (and I) were saying it’s not a surprise the fans of Lorient are pleased to see him go.

    Our relegation wasn’t just down to Moyes etc.

    doesn’t make them bad managers. Just not a surprise to see fans react like this

    That didn't go down well with the fans for MB when he deployed that V the mags.

    IIRC he did it against Stoke or Plymouth and people still moaned saying we were lucky.

    Guessing here but if RLB has parted company with his club then maybe both clubs have paid a sum each. His club not wanting to pay for a long contract , 4 years, ?? . Sunderland not wanting to buy him out. So we've struck a deal and the coach get's a canny signing on fee ?

    Was only highlights but I think what surprised me was the lack of press without the ball. To be fair when they got possession their attack was rapid I have concerns but I’m really looking forward to hear him and see his teams Certainly won’t pre judge him on last season what he does here is all that matters

    we’ve just got to give him a chance and we can judge his performance here

    True. Although I think that was more that we couldn't cope with their press, whereas Reggie was deliberately inviting it because his team could break the press.

    Plays a low block and is, apparently, quite direct which isn't really what I want to see. I still think it's an interesting appointment though and I'm definitely backing him.

    Yeah, they didn't press. Low block all the way.

    Unless of course he played that style due to the players he had at his disposal

    Not sure where you have got that from at all.

    Not pissed off at all. Just have reservations
