    Did Still come with his brothers and backroom staff?
    Could be like when we appointed Martin O'Neill but John Robertson didn't join him.

    It really is a great story that a lad who was decent at a video game ( Football Manager) with no prior experience at top level football actually gets jobs at professional clubs in Belgium, France and England. A movie should be made of this...along the same lines of Eddie the Eagle

    I’ve think Liam Manning might just beat him in the sack race.

    I would’ve had him after MB was sacked, his record was very good.. but I also made a case for wanting Lampard and him being a good manager and the majority disagreed look how that’s going :emoticon-0138-think

    I remember a fair bit of talk around Le Bris getting Lorient relegated and people saying his record wasn’t good enough for us.

    Football is a strange game.. I’ve watched Southampton a few times this season and honestly if I was a fan I wouldn’t be blaming Will Still. Look at the stats in their matches they dominate most games, create loads of chances, loads of shots on target etc but don’t put chances away. That’s not on the manager. I know data is lost on some and I do agree with them to an extent you can only use it so much but their xG this season is 21.3 - behind only Coventry. They’ve scored 13 goals. That is fully on the players imo. Doesn’t speak for their defensive record like because that’s not great either.
