Only worry with a Maric type is that the club will see them as someone they can force dodds upon as they are unlikely to have major demands given it is their first job. A strong character like Still would (maybe/hopefully) be reluctant for that to be case and would carry (strong) demands eg assistant, analyst, coach etc . However, if the 'highest bidder' thing is true that puts me off Still as it seems he cares more about the financial side rather than preferring a project. I'm surprised we haven't been linked to Cifuentes at QPR ; he's done a great job.
Asked a question yesterday and got this answer, please apply the *'pinch of salt' rule. *"'Lens can do better, no offence. There are managers, in France/Europe, who'd jump at the chance to go there."
