Sunderland fans ponder an alternative timeline after the appointment of Régis Le Bris as head coach two years ago was missed. In this scenario, Will Still becomes the club's 43rd permanent manager but struggles early in the season, leading the team to 18th position by October.

Currently, Sunderland finds itself relegated back to League One, while Le Bris achieves success at PSG and with the French national team, highlighting a stark contrast in fortunes.
