Kisnorbo started really well. Locally, fans were super happy to have him. There were articles and fanpages showing him in town, while drinking beer and hugging with people. That was super unusual for us to have someone super friendly and open. Even in the large media, people were enthusiastic about him. Look at this video for instance : That was in the main channel to watch ligue 1 and ligue 2 in France. Started well with 4 points taken out of 6 (one draw, one victory). And after, we saw a slowly but surely huge disaster with 23 games in a row (between January 2023 and August 2023) without any victory. Tactically, nothing in the video above was used. We got a few games without any subs used (mostly 1 sub was used during games between the 80th and 90th minutes of the game) even if several players were out of shape. Tactically, Kisnorbo was no longer in control during games in ligue 1. In ligue 2, a less technical division but more physical, we thought our « Australian fighter » will have the opportunity to show his quality but it was worse. We lost less game, but it was impossible to win by using a very strange strategy and when he was replaced (last week) the team was 17th out of 20. So well positioned to be relegated in the third division. in France, after more than 2 seasons in the third division, you lose your professional licence. Some people asked him to give more time (40 officials games + 10 additional preparation games was apparently not enough), but it didn’t work and super risky to end up in third division.

What a relief! He is gone, he is finally gone. Thank the Lord, he is gone. His choices, his thoughts and his vision were a complete disaster. His first year was bad, but at least only the police was involved for a few games or practices. To calm down the ultras. A few concrete examples: https://twitter.com/ultras1899_/status/1625080339843661825/mediaViewer?currentTweet=1625080339843661825&currentTweetUser=ultras1899_ When PK arrived in November 2022, the team was 13th out of 20 and 5th for the attack standing. We finished the year by being relegated and we were the 18th team in the attack standing. ___ The second year was an absolute nightmare. The biggest problem started when he declared he was happy with the situation. The public and sponsors put pressure by showing a definite disinterest in the team : boycott in the stadium, the games, boycott by being a sponsor. For the first time, we saw a funeral procession with PK and the team targeted. The team, the sponsor, the politics and the public had to consider seriously an other relegation and potentially a significant risk to lose the professional licence. PK denied that fact and we could see how disconnected he was from the reality. Journalists asked him if he knew the league’s rule, etc,… pictures mocking him were more and more popular online ______ Of course, by being a coach of a French team, owned by one of the richest group in the world, people asked him when he is going to consider speaking French (not fluently, French is a difficult language to learn), but nothing. In 1 year, not a single word in French. That did not help his cause. During a few games public asked him to resign but he said : « sorry I don’t understand ». This is when we started to see more and more people offended _______ in conclusion, a few statistics: - 40 games played in total, only 3 victories - 23 players injured during his mandate - 12 members of the staff left because of their lack of confidence with PK (especially the medical staff who complain because PK never respected the medical protocol) Please, you deserve better, don’t bring him back. I will never advise anybody to get Kisnorbo for a being their coach, even to my worst enemy.
