    I was PM’d his name well over a week ago to be fair. People definitely had heard it was him.

    Think it’s the fact it went pear shaped for him last season, however having read some of the stuff from his academy days I think he sounds a good fit.

    just glad it’s done now and we can all head over to the transfer window thread and start complaining about strikers.

    @Magnus could back up that I’d heard his name like. I mentioned to him to see if he’d heard his name.

    Worth pointing out I didn’t hear it first hand. Went through a few people before me I think, but it was definitely out there to a degree before you were even claiming it wasn’t him.

    Yeah. Iv’e dissed the club lately but this looks like a sound appointment. Upcoming ambitious coach good with young players. Willing to work under dof. Hed my doubts but looks like new coaches coming in and good backing on the transfer side. Baby I’m ready to go

    I'm enthused. It's a risk but any appointment is. With Beale felt it was doomed from day one.

    Do Canios knees on RTG mentioned him on Tuesday. Bit random without having heard something so it would seem some folk had an inkling.

    Really interesting point I’ve just seen somebody random on twitter say (I kept scrolling so can’t give credit)

    Le Bris was relegated, sure. But he wasn’t sacked by Lorient, either when they moved towards relegation, or even after. He’s only left when we’ve come in for him.

    it says a lot that. Not many managers survive a relegation and it seems he was going to.

    Play off final Smug? We are aiming for automatic position surely? You'll have to do without the Cheesy chips this time!

    I like what the falk and just listened to their le bris review show. But Graham says he heard it was Le Bris 10 days ago but then says the imminent statement the club made was about Rosenior. Surely that would match up with Le bris?

    They then go onto say the club are either full of **** or very good at keeping things under wraps. Surely there's a load of evidence to suggest the club kept it under wraps!?!?!

    I know everyone has their own opinions and it definitely matters if you like KS or not, but surely there's enough evidence to back up that the club were expecting to appoint le bris 2 weeks ago and that there's been legitimate hold ups??


    Edit: Dave Jones put Beale forward and KS took the bait (just for anyone whose listened to the pod <laugh>)

    I don't think anyone knew it was going to be Reggie. The name came out of the blue at the last minute and it was confirmed by Romano shortly after.

    Possible that word got out he was being considered but nobody knew beyond that.
