New Head Coach

Said the same, shouldn't drag on after today, can't afford to wait around for Lens to make up their minds.

 

Do we know that's what's happening?

 

Nobody knows for sure, just from an article that was on X, French journalist saying Lens were interviewing many candidates and haven't decided on their manager yet.

 

Many were daft enough to think he'd been offered a contract on the spot, myself included.

Now it sounds more like he's been called back for an interview and is one name on a list of candidates.

He's obviously flattered and interested in what they'll offer. Meanwhile SAFC have to sit patiently and wait with a towel and a bunch of flowers like a hooker's husband in a comedy western.

 

Journalist reporting that Lens would have to sell 100 million in assets before spending. Surely he will come here?

 

This Still saga is starting to feel like the Borini incident that dragged on all Summer.

 

Fark me. Every ambitious manager's wet dream.

 

It certainly sounds like there is a lot of turmoil going on at Lens. Their fans on Twitter don't seem happy with their new general manager and one or two seem to be making comments about their finances.

Hopefully, our financial stability will count in our favour. Thank God for sustainability, eh?

 

Mad that considering they were in the CL this season

 

I believe KLD is more astute than that and will have a way of doing business. I don't believe Still is in contention this time.

 

True. So you believe Robinson is the alternative. I don’t.
I’ll just wait and see. Can’t get my knickers in a twist over any of it. What willl be will be and we just need to get behind whoever it is when appointed.

 

Will Grigg was on his way down at the time, whereas Still is an ambitious manager on his way up. The only way to fulfil his ambition is to be successful at his next club. If that's us, that would equate to promotion to the Premier League. Which would do for me.

 

You black sheep, you. I ****ing love it.

 

They definitely have the players to raise something close to that figure mind. Wahi and Medina in particular.

 

And then he has to rebuild with a lesser squad and probably no transfer budget, doesn't sound very ambitious

 

Yep so we now twiddle our thumbs and wait until they have finished interviewing candidates.

 

My thoughts too. The idea we're sitting around waiting for decisions from Lens,which may or may not come in good time, doesn't seem plausible to me.

 

Tbf Still can be in contact with more than one club at a time I'm sure if it is true we have offered him a better deal over the weekend he will make a decision himself

 

The club might have already set a deadline or simply moved on to another target.
