    I don't know if this is true or not. Didn't someone close to him called Training Ground Guru say that no contact has been made between the club and Maric since before Beale came in. That would suggest that we haven't approached him yet this summer.

    The same thought process means you want to get rid of all the players too? The head coach sets direction and tactics. Doesn’t mean those asked to carry them out or drill them into the players aren’t capable. Each head coach has one or two trusted lieutenants, if the rest ain’t broke why go the expense, hassle and upheaval of changing them?

    This is a snip of the tweet that started the meltdown. Nothing confirmed and if it was all signed and sealed why are they keeping an eye on the other fella

    To be fair. At Bayern the new coach will have been told they have to win the league and qualify rather high in Champions League tough for your first season

    You forgot a proportion of fans who are negative as **** whenever things goes against us or not the way they like it.

    Get a decent manager in, a couple of decent signings and the lads will be back up in the top half or challenging for the playoffs.

    Would anyone fancy Ronny Deila? Left Brugge in March.

    I think most top coaches would back themselves to do so with a team that includes Kane, Davies, Kimmich, Musiala, De Ligt, Upamecano, and Neuer amongst other world class players.

    Don't see a repeat of this year happening.

    Just had a quick scan through all the possible Racing Club de Lens chiacchiere forums and there's little about Still ...

    ... perhaps all their supporters are on holiday.

    See yet again stating rumour as fact, where has it been stated Dodds are Proctor have to been the head coaches main men, probably the opposite.
    Everyone has different opinions doesn't mean they're facts

    Apparently Lens are having a press conference on Monday but that appears to be about the new director of football

    Nixon (I know) thinks we’ve not given up on Still yet.

    Imagine it would take KLD to intervene and go all in.

    The info I was told in good faith was we had agreed with Maric and then Still became available so we parked Maric to go after Still.

    I wonder if the Lens fans are asking why their club didn't pay Reims compensation and get their man earlier ...

    ... June 1st and one of the biggest clubs in France don't have a manager, or perhaps they do, perhaps they have two <laugh>

    If the rumours are true that he was about to sign and offered contract then did a u turn as soon as another club showed interest, do we really want him as our manager ?

    Seen that floating around RTG. I just don't think I believe it. Sounds schizophrenic

    there is a slim chance that Stills agents are still just trying to get us to do exactly that

    If he was about to sign where does that leave the rumour he wouldn't come because he had a huge dislike of Sunderland's coaching staff?

    Perhaps he's just a Belgian Alex Neil and it's ...
