Cant help thinking its Rosenior. Last week there were 3 new contenders Chalinor Robinson and Jansen club moved to discount the 2 so looked like Jansen was the man Then rumors late last week 2 in the frame We believed Jansen and Rosenior The club looks like it has leaked to temper expectations and discount Jansen. Think we will get a confirmation of Rosenior next two days. Unless of course they have a wild card and are leaving Rosenior in the frame to dampen expectations before the big reveal.
My gut feeling with Will Still is that he goes to neither us nor Lens and waits for the next opportunity
My only thoughts with Still is that Ligue 1 is in trouble, their big superstar in Mbappe is gone, still, no tv deal which will cripple a lot of clubs financially including Lens who have just had to cancel a 3m euro transfer due to financial issues. Surely if he rates himself, the benefits of getting Sunderland back to the PL would be a pulling factor?
Thats my thoughts. Think Still deal is dead. Wouldn't mind Cifuentes but they will have to approach QPR so think we may have had a few leaks on that one (not just Nixon) Wouldn't rule out a wild card mind. Jansen came from nowhere.
Genuinely fine with him, knows the league, proven to an extent, plenty room to grow and big clubs trust him with their better prospects too
I'd be genuinely happy with Rosenior but the current outlook from a lot of fans I am seeing is not good. The announcement comments would be riddled in outrage
I've already stated my patience in waiting. However, I'd like to point out that my understanding of the word " imminent " clearly has a different meaning to that of the clubs hierarchy.
People want to be outraged for the sake of being outraged these days, let them crack on, I don’t know one person who’s realistic that everyone would be happy with
People will always twist regardless. The club will never be able to please everyone. Once Still is confirmed at Lens there’ll be people wetting their nappies on Twitter again.
You'd think if you were about to announce a new manager you'd ask them not to give any hints on social media ahead of time.
