Supposedly rohl has a release clause if they’re relegated, not sure how true that is though.

I would love us to have a look at Jack Wilshere but I doubt he’d go anywhere north of Watford.

Well he supposedly applied for the Aberdeen job. He’s only worked with kids though hasn’t he ? Like younger academy players

I always wanted us to go for Freddie Ljunberg talk was Arteta got shot if him cause he was a threat to him position but he seems to have disappeared
Jody Morris was the other one hugely rated at Chelsea but think he bombed in his last job!
Not sure what either of them are doing now!

yeah I think you are right. Just not sure about the 4.2 mil but would show some intent. If we are just going for another safe pair of hands like Cooper or Heckybottom , why sack Mowbray in the first place.

From what I have read that amount was for mid contract and isnt the same at the end of the season, but I know bugger all

Reims are now looking for replacements for Will Still, suggesting they are preparing for life without the 31-year-old.

Le10sport’s article goes on to confirm that Reims have a €5million (around £4.2million) release clause in Still’s contract.

The same report adds that Still already has ‘serious contacts’ in England, with Sunderland reportedly keeping tabs on the Belgian-English coach

Matches up with what I was told last week about Still coming here.

That Still video excites and scares me simultaneously. He clearly understands he's forming a bit of a cult of personality and he's willing to build on it to develop his profile, he's comfortable with his philosophy and his person being interrogated to further his aims which I think is great.

I do worry it turns into another "I wish he would stop talking" like the Speakman complaint that's going around.

That we are very serious about him coming here and he is infact our number one target. Deal couldn't be reached before Beale so we were going back in the summer for Still. If it was a flat no from Still we wouldn't be trying again. Ofcourse anything can change but we're definitely in there.

If he's that much of a risk why are we considering him?.

I dont see that he is, at least any more so than the dull, uninspired choices who've been on the manager merry-go-round longer than him.

Most established managers/coaches have had horrible spells somewhere.

I see no problem appointing a high potential coach, especially when they are managing in a league higher than our own.

If Everton get relegated, and their new owners sack Dyche. Would anyone want him? I suspect I know the answer, but 2 years ago I think we might have loved the thought of him...
 
If that crack about Still having a €4m buyout clause is legit I think we'll swerve him. As much as he is a good coach, the reality is that managers rarely get more than 18 months at Sunderland and if he has a bad patch and fans turn, we would be chucking money away by sacking him, unlike a player who you can sell on when his time is up.
