    Just a word of advice mate. Check where they are brewed. If it's a foreign brand, but is brewed over here leave well alone.

    It probably is. Last time I was in Prague, I couldn't find it anywhere. It was one of the major ones over there and even sponsored the Czech Football League. When I was in Menorca last summer, I saw a poster advertising Gambrinus. Couldn't believe it.

    Reims last game is 8pm tomorrow night, I know he's not the manager there anymore but it would make sense if the appointment is made after that.

    With Belgian beers, if it says its a Trappist beer, it's been brewed in Belgium by Trappist monks (there are Trappist Monastery breweries in other countries) so you know you're getting the genuine article.

    It's Will Still's fault for being from Belgium and for being named after a thing you make rum in.

    This. I always thought their might be something contractual at play here. Especially if his contract had a break clause of sorts this summer. They may have just put him on gardening leave at full pay rather than major compensation.

    Given the stories about how ruthless they were in making him take over from the old manager there was almost no chance of a completely clean break.

    His name is a ****ing nightmare for SEO. Outrageous stuff.

    He could at least go by William.

    At least it's not Willy Still, I guess. That's not an SEO pit I want to fall into.

    Any such terms that we'd have to wait on are more likely to be based on contract expiry rather than the league ending aren't they?

    Canny video on the BBC website about Still, from March last year.

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/av/football/64830824

    Edit - Not much about tactical approach but I like that he says, number 1, he wants his teams to be proactive. Could help him here if we are set up to be constantly trying to win the ball back, lay traps, etc rather than sitting off and being passive.

    Thanks. I enjoyed the quote at 3:50 re his approach - wanting for his team to be proactive and to take risks (I've become a little concerned based on other stuff I'd seen from him that he was a little too cautious and risk averse so (if he is the man) then it's reassuring to hear this seemingly isn't the case).

    Yep, but I'd imagine Reims will be ok with us announcing him with a view to start work on June 1st or whenever this contract year is up, as long as the announcement is after their season is done.

    Football clubs and contract are weird, as @Southern A said he's probably on gardening leave not actually sacked

    Exactly. I edited my post to pick out the same thing, that it gives even more cause for optimism.
