SCHNEIDERLIN ON RLB

Former Man United, Everton and Southampton midfielder Morgan Schneiderlin has spoken about his fellow Frenchman Regis Le Bris, via ComeOn...

KNEW HIM IN FRANCE

When he was at Lorient, people were already speaking about Regis Le Bris because word travels fast when you do a great job."

TURN THINGS AROUND

"Then he went to Sunderland and did an amazing job. He will always have opportunities but I'm sure his focus right now is purely on turning things around there."

SECOND SEASON SYNDROME

"At a club like Sunderland, the second season is always much harder. You saw a similar thing with Nottingham Forest. It becomes so demanding to maintain that same level of consistency in the Premier League year after year."

KEEP THE FAITH

"Football is a ruthless business so if results don't pick up it's obviously going to be difficult for him but he has every quality required. I know for a fact that he works incredibly hard and is a very meticulous manager. I really hope he stays in the job and manages to turn things around."
