    Will Still - A Colleague's Input.(not me)

    I've recently been speaking to a coach who trained with Will, and had some useful info about him!

    -Extremely pragmatic, detail oriented and meticulous.

    -Guarded personality, small inner circle but very thoughtful and introspective.

    -Hilarious when he opens up, but extremely serious nonetheless.

    -Thinks Saints will be extremely organised, hard to beat and exceptional in transitions (similar to Burnley)

    -In control of games, expects us to end up with a rigid horseshoe approach, with lots of control.

    -Prioritises athleticism, like his teams in France.

    -Think he can step up to the Prem well, if adequately backed.

    -On the project, thinks Still has chosen Southampton to settled down at, closer to mrs and family as we all have heard and can be a place where he can grow with the club.

    -Very happy to coach what's in the squad, doesn't really bring players with him like Russ did.

    Don’t try and track him down whatever you do, the curse is probably contagious

    Are we not mentioning that we have a new assistant manager for any reason?

    I have just been on the official website and he’s not even listed in the news section, although it’s such a bad website I could have missed it.

    The club haven't officially confirmed it. Jus like they haven't officially confirmed our released list.

    The media team must be on holiday

    Trust me, I believe it. While you may cite recent league positions, some things are so apparent that inconsequential things like league positions are irrelevant. They are just scientific fact: "Portsmouth are the superior side to Southampton and always will be, regardless of league position" - Sir Isaac Newton

    Let’s not forget his famous formula:
