    Doesn't surprise me. His reputation won't be ruined on the back of one short job, and he wanted to come back to England so was always likely to look for another job here. He could do quite well at a club who are not expected to win most of the time and one where his team won't dominate the ball like we did.

    BBC reporting that Gary O'Neil and Jon Dahl Tomasson have also been interviewed by Norwich, as well as Will Still

    It's a risk for Still if he goes imo. Norwich as a club are pretty much as dysfunctional as Saints.
    Think he needs a stable environment to thrive.

    I think being at a club in their position in the league will suit him being able to play as an underdog regularly. Especially as I don't think their squad is terrible.

    Wait until another club comes in for Tonda, based on his win percentage...

    If Saints are approaching/interviewing managers who are already employed at other clubs it must be quite tricky and needs to be done without leaks that may scupper any potential deal l would imagine. We can only hope that this is the case and that an announcement will be made once the process nears completion. Fingers crossed!!

    I think there's only one club stupid enough to hire a manager off the back of two games in senior management...and he's already here.

    You might be right. Norwich fans would disagree with you about the squad though - personally I don't think it is bad but was instead used ineffectively by Manning.

    Good luck to Will Still. Hopefully ge will get the job and put Portsmouth under a bit of pressure. I think he will ultimately come good.
