He's not my first choice. I'd prefer peter Krowietz, Steve Cooper, or recently mentioned Pascal Jansen. Although I'd be ok if it is Still who's appointed.
That's where we have to be careful to distinguish fact from supposition mate. The reports about Lens may be supposition or his new agent 'playing the field'. They need to be careful imo ... ... being seen to 'renege' once is understandable, being a recidivist reneger can create an image that restricts his future job offers.
I'm having difficulty in accepting the notion that,having apparently made the best offer we can to Still,we're sitting at the end of a phone waiting for him to decide his future.
Has anybody got any real idea why it takes so long to negotiate a contract? Other clubs have a new manager the next day.
Maybe he accepted at the weekend and the hold up is just the club sorting out the contracts, accommodation, right size tracksuits for him and his staff. Maybe he accepted at the weekend but Pascal Jansen phoned and said he'd be interested, so we've said "hold on a sec, Will" Maybe I'm sitting in a corner, slowly rocking backwards and forwards, making up thousands of different scenarios, because the wait for a new head coach is slowly driving me insane.
You're not married to my wife are you? Wife goes into first shop and finds a pair of shoes that she like but then proceeds to visit a further 19 shoe shops just to check if there's something better before going back to the first shop to buy the first pair she saw only to find that they have sold them! This is not a metaphor relating to Speakman, purely an observation relating to my wife, then again...
"He is our final, non-negotiable, take it or leave it, last chance, offer. Please peruse at your leisure and get back to us when you feel like it. Or when your agent is done with his week long lunch meeting with his PA. Or don't get back to us at all. Whatever you feel like." Hard to wrap your head around.
