Was assistant at Lorient but prior to that was employed as a sports psychologist. Makes sense he’d come as well.

Walked past the SOL this morning. Big delivery of stock going into Black Cat House from Fanatics.
Just need Rigg to sign his contract now and can relax and enjoy the summer window
A certain Vincent Jean Mpoy Kompany had a worse record than that last season
- I wonder what he's up to

Agree with this, need to back him properly now.
Good stuff, thanks. I looked at their forum but for all I know it's the equivalent of their RTG.
'Hamish' has gone now
Didn't deserve to be reported or banned for stating his opinion. I'm no cheerleader for him but why not just ignore what he said if you don't like it.
Or they could sell him as the coach who gave Lorient there highest league finish in a decade.
He lost his best players every window. Moffi, Kone, Ouattara and Le Fee were all big players in that 10th place season and we're sold before this season begun
I don't know whether he will work out here or not, but we just have to back him until he gives us a good enough reason not to anymore.
I agree with this. Seems there’s been 2 or 3 posters banned now for nothing more than the mod just doesn’t fancy them being around anymore.
It’s becoming a bit too much of a dictatorship on here. It’s supposed to be a board for everyone not dominated by one or two people.
Leeds were linked with him previously, one of their fans did some analysis of how he likes to play. Sounds like Dan Neil will thrive under his system. Link here.

Most went over the summer, big fees fee, but most coming in seemed to be returning and incoming loans, with a few for modest fees.
I have concerns that having come through a system where he had so little say in transfers as people are making out then why is he walking away from there into a similar setup here?
He is still under contract now though isn't he? Is he only being let go now because it generates income for Lorient? If so, it seems like he stayed on because he couldn't walk straight into another job and couldn't afford the compo payable if he walked away.
Is he committed to the Sunderland job or is he coming here as a lifeboat to escape his binding French contract and it would be easier to leave here (especially after last season's multiple changes)?
Base level seems to be he is better at bringing talent through than he is as a team manager/head coach.
All in all it seems he comes with a lot of baggage and I don't really relish unpacking it.
Alex Neil relegated
Sam alladyce relegated
Tony Mowbray relegated
Arson wenger relegated.
the list goes on mate, a relegation doesn’t have to define managers career
If you take this paragraph from the terms and rules literally there'd be about 3 posters left:
"You agree to not use the Service to submit or link to any Content which is defamatory, abusive, hateful, threatening, spam or spam-like, likely to offend, contains adult or objectionable content, contains personal information of others, risks copyright infringement, encourages unlawful activity, or otherwise violates any laws."
Live and let live I say. If I don't like someone or what they say I'll just ignore them/it.
Are you recommending we boycoutt the club?
Did you expect better? Who?
Are you a realist?
Yeah absolutely, which shows its different rules for different people.
I’ll never forget Exile being banned and it was actually said ‘well he always had a different opinion to everyone else’
I thought that this is what the board was for but you need to toe the party line sort of thing these days.
