I don't really get it, Claude Puel had vast amounts of experience in France before he came here and a fair amount of real success with big clubs too yet he was greeted with lots of scepticism when appointed.
Will Still is only 32 and hasn't really achieved anything yet and has only 125 games as a manager yet some fans are willing to overlook these facts.
Is it his unusual back story or his age that is the difference? Is he a hipster choice? I think he's a big gamble like Pellegrino was and as Magic says I would prefer a more experienced pair of hands at this time.

Claude Puel arrived after successive top six finishes and one of the most exciting periods in club history and then sent everybody to sleep and then ****ed up our Europa League group, to be fair

Our next manager is coming in after a miserable period and into a time with much lower hopes and aspirations

With a weakened squad tbf and we did something that season but I'm talking about when he arrived and maybe Still will be another Pellegrino we don't know that's what i'm saying.
He hasn't achieved anything in the game yet.
 
Good luck with Will Still if he does agree to join.
He played us (Sunderland) along for a few weeks before jumping at the chance to join Lens.
I prefer Regis le Bris <cheers>

That's not really my point.

Every single manager had the same amount of experience as Still at some point in their careers. Some of the experienced managers we have had recently really haven't had a clue so experience doesn’t always bring success. If he comes here I for one will back him.

If he's appointed i'll support the team, I just think it's a risk that we don't have to take right now.

If we are 'rolling the dice' with WS, so be it. He cannot possibly be worse than the utter rubbish that has come before him under SR and he will have less of the mindset of 'underachieving-baggage' the other journeyman managers bring with them.

So it's only up from me, because it cannot go any lower than it currently is. Thank you SR (for nothing).

You could never know what it's like
Your blood like winter freezes just like ice
And there's a cold and lonely light that shines up there
You'll wind up like the wreck you hide behind that scarf you wear

And did you think this team could never win
Well look at us, we’re coming back again
We got a taste of winning in a simple way
And if you need to know why Will Still’s standing you just run away

Don't you know Will Still’s standing better than he ever did
Looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid
Will Still’s standing after all this time
Picking up the pieces of our team without Gao on our mind

Will Still standing yeah yeah yeah
Will Still standing yeah yeah yeah

Once we never could hope to win
Now we’re starting down the road and winning again
The points we won were enough to send us down
And if our club was just a circus Russ would be a clown by now

Y' know, Will Still’s standing better than he ever did
Looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid
Will Still’s standing after all this time
Picking up the pieces of my life without Gao on our minds

Will Still’s standing yeah yeah yeah
Will Still’s standing yeah yeah yeah

Don't you know Will Still’s standing better than he ever did
Looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid
Will Still’s standing after all this time
Picking up the pieces of our team without Gao on our mind

Will Still’s standing yeah yeah yeah
Will Still’s standing yeah yeah yeah
Will Still’s standing yeah yeah yeah
Will Still’s standing yeah yeah yeah


Apologies to Bernie Taupin

The alternative view is don't waste the parachute payments, appoint someone with a good record in the Championship.

But who? I'm seeing a few 'mid-tabley' managers available but beyond that... not really much by way of options. I would've liked Cooper and was pretty sold on Rohl, but if Rohl is faffing about and not ready to go, and Still is, then I am in favour of pivoting to him
