    Or its a long term ploy to stop us being ****ed over when we're buying players. Genius strategy.

    Craig Hope also reporting Will Still agreed to join on Sunday and was sent contract to sign but didn’t as Lens swooped

    Understand Will Still agreed to join SAFC on Sunday & was sent contract. On Monday, club thought everything was in place for Still to take charge. It was then that Lens made him an offer. It’s thought European football one of key reasons for decision to join French club instead.

    If you're not fast, you're last. And we dawdled for the best part of six months, and then when he left Reims.

    Have to say I think too many are hammering the club here, without any genuine evidence to back it up. All we seem to have is the media reporting something that can only have come from one side, not us. It wasnt too long ago the Reims top man gave us a warning about Still. Maybe, just maybe, he isnt mature enough yet to understand the media and how to behave.

    Not if he's selling privately. he may have
    We have waited for his contract to run out to avoid paying out, then it was terminated early. We would not have waited this long if Still wasn't first choice. Now, unless there's a better manager out there who's contract has just run out as well, I think it's safe to say it was always Still

    Not much we can do about that, can’t force someone to come. A bit of kick in the happy sacks.

    Should’ve had it tied up months ago man. We’ve waited until he’s out of contract to try and do it on the cheap.

    @Magnus don’t be daft. Nobody bar a few school holiday spenks who won’t be around next week want you to stop posting. Seems the crack is Still has u-turned, can’t help that. We need you for the info on what might happen next week now.

    So they've known for a few days he wasn't coming then.

    There will be a name come out soon.

    So many narratives out there but if he agreed he must have been happy with investment etc.

    So someone is fibbing or we have been played like a fiddle

    Until we know who our new gaffa is I'm keeping a lid on the fume. I think there's every chance Still is hugely over-rated. I was onboard purely because I wanted us to get our first choice. We could end up with better, facts. Let's see who rocks up!

    Also, @Magnus you've been fully vindicated so far, if reports are to be believed, your source likewise. Dig in, bonny lad!
