Will Still - Lens Manager

We have a number of candidates. This club remains attractive. Today, we don't have the right person yet.

Sounds very different to the friday reports
 
Call me a cynic, but I'm fairly certain that his mind would have been made up based on Lens playing Champions League football, and offering more money, rather than SAFC having Dodds as a coach.

It's borderline ridiculous to think otherwise.

Lens will go straight out of the champions league too, its not like he's going to have any great tint in that comp. Looking at their press conference today, you can see why any coach may be reluctant to take up that role, with the top fella expressing concern about finances and such. Hardly a golden egg for Still to sit on from the outside looking in.

In terms of us and him, I think negatioations have been going on for some time and Still is sticking to his guns on the assurances he wants. We all know Speakman won't want to lose control, but I feel KLD is driving this appointment more than Speakman.

I want us to get someone in who pushes the board and isn't scared of telling them what is needed. The clubs current plan is sending us backwards and bringing in someone who's just along for the ride will see another sacking and Dodds back in charge within 4/5 months.
 
They’ll probably have to sell Elye Wahi but there are some really bad reports/claims about him, so unsure how much profit they’ll make on the €35m they bought him for.
 
I wonder if our last minute ‘all in’ offer (if Wehatsheaf & Magnus were correct) has gazumped Lens a bit - similar to how they originally gazumped us.

Good on us for improving the offer.

Like I said earlier, he better be good after all this shite (if we get him). :lol:
 
Your posting history suggests you really didn't want a 'yes man'.

Surely Still disrupting things and causing an issue is great for you?

A real 'no man'.
What are you on about?
He can do as he pleases my point is we’re sat weeks on end with negotiations with no resolution, we can’t get him to commit, the club is bigger than him, move on
He’s been perceived as some genius, based on what?
There will be multiple competent coaches out there we could get instead of this waiting around to see what he and Lens want to do when do wr draw the line, another few weeks? A month?
 
All part of the negotiations, either side "leak" stuff to push the negotiations along. Nowhere has it ever been stated that he wasn't bought into it. This is where issues are caused with our fans, they look at him in a negative way before he is even hired (if he comes!). Not bought into it...touting himself around...this...that...etc...

How has Speakman ballsed it right up?
See above.

I think the hope that SSN reporting the Still deal being off is nothing more than wishful thinking. "All but over" is pretty final.
This should say "The hope that SSN reporting the Still deal being off as just a leak to get the deal done is nothing more than wishful thinking"

Apologies.

They're not in the Champions League

To be fair if we have I can’t imagine Lens wanting to play games as well
