He’s managing a better team in a better league and a better position though seems absolutely mad that someone would give up battling for CL football to come here. It’s not like he’s leaving for a PL club or leaving a club near the bottom of the league they’re 4 points off a CL place
Don't think it's as mad as people think, a lot of young coaches want to manage in England, he'll know the set up here after speaking to kld/speakman and a chance to be a coach in the premier for next season. Don't think it's beyond the bounds of possibilities for him to take that chance. Some people do make risky decisions in the life, not saying he will but the only person who does is himself
 
The plan is working or are you just ignoring everything that has happened since kld bought the club. If your mate was still here we'll more than likely be in league 2
Look I enjoy where we are, I get on with KLD, I get on with Juan.
So let's get it right, as long as he gives his all for the club, I'm all for that.
 
I get this argument but this could be the perfect way for him into English football. No premier league club is taking a punt on him, even if he gets Reims into Europe.

We suit him in many ways. I think the project would excite him personally. (That’s based purely on that interview I posted earlier).
Don't know why people can't see this and dismiss it as a possibility

This. This is the only reason we're not pissing ourselves laughing at this insane rumour, England is the premiere destination for football.

If the championship was good enough for Bielsa then I see no reason for Will not consider working for us. It could be the quickest way for him being a Prem coach and definitely worth the gamble.
 
Will still would be a coup mind , he's proved himself in France with little money to spend. Would be happy with this, still can't see it happening.

If Will Still is who we want then surely we wouldn’t have sacked the manager we had without knowing he will come to Sunderland?

True. I think there’s a chance we didn’t have somebody lined up and they had a “bust up”
 
Honestly I recommend anyone watch / listen to his long interview on the high performance podcast. If you’re unsure of him I’m confident it will turn you around.

seems the kind of person Speakman would buy into and maybe vice versa

If its all the same to you I'll watch it if he is appointed would hate to get myself excited and it be one of Montys suggestions!<laugh>

For anyone who missed it Monty suggested Mourinho, Warnock and Big Sam. <doh>
