These are the odds across all the bookies now: I know you can only take so much from this but the odds are now so small the next step is surely suspending the betting.
Not happy with Will Still at all. This is typical Sports Republic funding a young recruit for the future who will turn out to ve a complete mavetick. Why so we always go for a Leftfield option ? I thought Spor waa brought in to stop these wild card aopointments? In my opinion we need simeone like Gordon Strachan to get the duscipline and fitness back where it should be.
Some choice comments on Facebook under the Echo piece about Will Still. Two of my favourites: “Pay whatever it takes and get Zidane Zidane in, or however you spell his name” “Why do Sports Republic insist on getting a foreigner in”
Not saying he's a top choice for me over anyone, but interesting to see people think Will Still is some inexperienced unknown. Years managing in top flight football: Danny Rohl: 0 Will Still: 3+
He got sacked from Reims for results and has taken Lens, a mid-table team, to mid-table. I'm not saying he's a bad manager, but no one would've heard of him if he didn't have the 'I started on FM' origin story and his name didn't rhyme.
In fairness, the reason everyone has heard of him is because he had an incredible start at Reims despite being extremely inexperienced. Although I agree with your overall point. He had one very good run and hasn't done much since. We would be taking a massive risk at the start of an incredibly important season because of one run of results. It seems stupid to me.
Yeah, a great run. But hiring someone based on 17 game is mental. Martin went 25 unbeaten last season, maybe we should hire him!
