Will Still (managerial suggestion)


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
We probably did, most likely Will Still and Hellberg were the top targets. Things were going positive with Still until yesterday, probably the club refusing to let him leave until summer. Hellberg took another job and we're left looking around for someone else. Nobody knows for sure though, all guess work.
 
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."

While he hasn't flat out denied anything, it would be pretty f***ing duplicitous to say all that and then turn around and join us a few days later. Think he's pretty much ruled out now.

If he'd pretty much ruled us out he would have come out and endeared himself to the Reims fans and board by categorically stating that he will not be leaving to join Sunderland.
