Will Still (managerial suggestion)


Basically him saying he's flattered but no truth in it. He went to London on Monday to see their lass, nowt else. Wants some discount from Eurostar because he does it all the time.

That’s not what he’s said. He’s done the old “yes there’s interest, but as of today I’m the storms manager and my focus today is on preparing for the next game”.

Basically what any manager anywhere says, when they’re in a job but looking at another job.

Will Still speaks with humor about the rumor that he contacted the leaders of Sunderland to sign there:

“I cannot deny the fact that there is interest in me, I confirm that. As there has been in the past, like this summer and like in recent weeks.

I find it quite flattering without being arrogant at all or without being pretentious. (...) But for now and today I am the coach of Stade de Reims. I am still the coach of Stade de Reims. This is what I can say about it. For me it stops there.

Monday I went to London but I went there to see my girlfriend who is English and lives in London. I think I'm a loyal Eurostar customer because I've been going back and forth every week for three or four months. If the Eurostar people hear me, I would like a loyalty price because I often take the Eurostar to go to England.

My intention is to concentrate on the Lens match and try to win it. Then concentrate on the Le Havre match and try to win it then try to finally take advantage of some time off and come back after the break to try to qualify for the Coupe de France. This is my intention and desire today.

I knew that at the slightest opportunity people would try to change my image or try to make me look like a mercenary. This makes me laugh more than anything else. It's like saying I was going to send my CV to Manchester United because Erik ten Hag is under pressure. I know I'm stupid and I'm not the smartest, but I'm not that stupid."

I think that he met with us, but it sounds like there could be a stalemate with compensation. Not looking promising, though.
 
Lots of use of the word today in that statement or maybe I’m clutching at straws

Is it compulsory to be at war with the owners?
Apologist ffs
I thought the same.

For me he wanted to turn focus away from speculation and say that he intends to concentrate on the next couple of Reims games.

Used humour to defend his character.

If it's going to happen it sounds like it will be either in their winter break or not at all.

Could be another couple of weeks of tense negotiations.
Today he's not coming but tomorrow is another day.
Not dead in the water just yet. We wait and see.

The further down the list they go the more worried I will be, just give it to Dodds man until the season is over if we can't get the top targets
 
Really dont think dodds should be getting it. The rest of the favourites don't really catch the imagination either. Really hope we have thought this process through, as I thought they would have had some ideas in place when sacking mowbray
