Will Still (managerial suggestion)


I dont believe the board are that naive to think because of two games theyll give Dodds the job.

As soon as we hit a rough patch theyll be hammered for a lack of ambition. They canr just write the season off to reasses this summer, it’s an insult to the players and fans.
 
The thing that makes me think the appointment of Still might not be off is the comments of Hellberg.

He’s basically intimated he was interviewed but the club chose another candidate.

If he’s been told he is no longer in consideration the club must surely have come to agreement with another coach?
Could have just been shite in the interview and the club decided he didn't fit the job.

As some have said it will probably be 6 months until the summer comes. They will most likely come up with new candidates for their list of targets. Strange they let Hellberg pass though, he was interviewed also.
 
I had me computer open on the bed thinking nahh this can’t be happening, then a few stoke fans came on saying they’d heard it too and it just spiraled.
I was in Majorca and went into the hotel bar because a mental thunderstorm kicked in. Put my phone on and notifications were going daft. I shit myself at first because I thought something bad had happened at home.
 
I'd be surprised if we were in for him. Have you heard that we are or is it last minute panic/rumours?
No, just panic bullshit.
If Dodds is appointed you'd have to seriously question the ambition of the board.

They didn't sack Mowbray because we had an outstanding candidate waiting in the wings.

He's not our 1st choice however they may decide to spin it.

If we'd had 2 defeats instead of two wins there'd be absolute hell on at the prospect of him taking charge even if it was only until the end of the season.

Really can't see how appointing Dodds on the basis of 2 games fits in with our long term strategy.
It doesn’t.

It would be sub-optimal.

But I’ve seen enough evidence to at least suggest it would be better than Mowbray. We were lifting. And now we’re not. Tactics, substitutions, motivation - all much much better.

No one from the club has even hinted that it would be Dodds not even Dodds himself.
It is all coming from the media and these boards. Same as the Nigel Adkin’s situation. One single person brings it up then hell brakes loose as if it was about to happen.

There’s nowt from the media other than the odd link from some very unverified sources. People’s opinion is being swayed by this thread alone. Its mental
 
Would you appoint a manager that nobody had even heard of a month ago,or allow a coach who has been coaching this young team for quite awhile to continue.There is an illness on this board that rates foreigners both coaches and managers based on nowt .

See my reply to mowgli
I knew about him last season. Why are you assuming everybody is as in the dark as you about him?

Some people watch European football

Who is the manager that nobody had heard of a month ago? Surely you're not referring to Will Still there? :lol:

Why does it matter if you hadn't heard of Will Still? I'd like to think the board don't hire managers based on how many people have heard of them like.
