    I think the Belgian journo may be referring to the claims that Still "initiated contact" which could be construed as going behind Reims' back which obviously wouldn't look good, FWIW I think we probably approached Reims to speak to him, they knocked us back but then he has pushed to speak to us and it's been a bit lost in translation.

    Aye or WS made sure SAFC knew he was interested and got word to them to approach him officially. That way he wasn't officially approaching Sundland.

    Pep and Mourinho are considered fairly arrogant as well. Didn’t stop em winning cups and competitions though

    Not the video I replied to marra.

    Looks like there were two videos, hence the cross wires

    Was just going to say the same thing. Personally I tend to judge managers on results rather than personality traits.

    I watched his whole podcast with Jake Humphrey and definitely didn’t get arrogant vibes myself. If anything he talks himself down

    The one you think he’s arrogant in, he isn’t arrogant in either. Opening line of that one is…

    “If someone would have told me when I was young that I would be a manager of a Ligue 1 team, I would have told them to punch me in the face, because it would have been ridiculous…”

    How is that arrogant?

    Do you know what the word ‘arrogant’ means?

    Watched this video and switched off after the first sentence. Too arrogant for me.

    So L’Equipe are reporting that Still has an exit clause which kicks in this summer, and until then they want a hefty fee.

    I can 100% see Dodds until end of season with him taking over in summer

    The desperation on here is off the scales. I'll leave the decision to KLD and wait the announcement

    Don't see how that can be construed as arrogant in any way. Quite the opposite in fact. He's expressing disbelief at the position he's found himself in.

    It's not like he said "I was always destined to be manager of one of the most famous clubs in Ligue 1 by the time I was 30".

    Not if there's a pre-agreement that is legally binding.

    My concern is that if Doddsy gets us up and then has to step back for Still, it puts us in an odd position, especially if Still doesn't hit the ground running.

    Have you just had a telling off from your wife or something?

    We are all waiting for the announcement. No one is desperate. Your high and mighty act is ironically coming off a touch arrogant.
