New Head Coach

[Ayrton]

Convinced me self that we’d never get a manager again. Glad it’s done, now go and back him. Need 3-4 quality ready made players to compliment what we have

 

[Culinary]

I wonder if any of the podcasts will manage to get Mannone on to talk about him.

 

[Davyred]

It's not him,

You want to kick your source squarely in the teeth marra.

welcome aboard reg lad.

feck it, now i have the 'season start feeling' ie: everything is gonna be git good...not just because the coach search is finally over but the fact that quite a few things are happening, as i mentioned last night, this could be fun.


...or it could be just another sunderland season lol.

 

[JammySAFC]

It’s finally over. Hope the board help him out and back him financially

The best thing I can say about this appointment is that it feels like the first one that truly aligns with "the model". Whether people like it or not, this is our approach so far better to have everyone on the same page and give it a bloody good go.

Agree. Wouldn’t be my choice, and get the underwhelmed sentiment, but this feels like an appointment KLD is truly behind and he deserves a chance. The model has seen a lot of positives that have been forgotten because of the last few months, hopefully this is the start to getting back on track

Exactly this, saved me the trouble of having to think of how to put my own thoughts.

Very encouraging

Why? We normally get one about every six months.

 

[Porterfield73]

I love that we're already calling him Reggie.

 

[TopCat.]

It's the first manager since Jack Ross whom we've appointed in the summer. Hopefully this means he has some power to get some guarantees about transfers...

 

[Davyred]

Like every new manager, I wish him the best of luck. He's got a decent young squad there, very important transfer window coming up.

Has there been many successful French managers in England other than Wenger?

I know Leicester had one for a year or two.

Houllier was one of my favourite overseas coaches in this country. Always thought he was outstanding.

Puel probably better than he appeared.

Jean Tigana was a success?

Interestingly (to me anyway) was Hoddle immersing himself in French football. Then coming back here.

I like French academies. I know a bit about how they work. Lots of alignment with ours.

Shivers down the spine mate. As Billy Connolly said I have an A level in guilt

I probably should have but I didn’t realise that Le Bris who plays for Lorient is Regis Les Bris’ son.

It’s his nephew according to Wikipedia

Ah right. Just that Twitter link up this page says it’s his son.

Either way, I probably should have assumed that they were related rather than it just being a common surname (that I’d never heard before).

 

[The Norton Cat]

I'm going to allow myself to get excited about this appointment.

Haway Reggie!

Why not

 

[Culinary]

I’m really keen to find more (mainly tactical and statistical) analysis from neutral sources about Lorient last season if anyone can help please?
