Yes he was. He just didn't. He even stated that he was thinking about bringing someone in.We saw it with Beale, he wasn't allowed to bring his own staff in there is your evidence

If Still came in and started making demands like that he should have been shown the door immediately.After the season we’ve just had we should be pulling out all of the stops to get our man. We settle for 3rd/4th best and continue how we finished last season we’re in for a real struggle.
The way I see it - If Still came to negotiations and said right this is the contract I want, these are the promises I want and this is who I want to bring in and we said yes no problem to everything he asked are people really naive enough to think we’d be in this situation?
Still certainly seems to know how to “play the game” I’m not sure he’d stick around for long if he does come here. It’ll be more Maresca than McKenna if he got us promoted.

Eric and his family, are in Corsica, at their family Villa.Is it near Brest? Eric Roy coming to save the day?
The club is being run on a DoF/Head Coach system. The point of that is that the whole set up of the club doesn't have to be changed every time we appoint a new head coach. If Still, or anyone else, comes in and demands that everything is changed to suit him, he isn't the man for the job.How do you think negotiations work? Do you think managers crawl in like lap dogs and just accept anything because we’re the biggest club in the world and anyone would be so lucky to work for us? That’s probably how it went with Beale and look how that turned out.

If that’s his craic let him go we need someone who is committed not after a few dollars moreWill Still remains in the picture for the Sunderland job. However French side Lens have also made an offer for him. The 31-year-old will go to the highest bidder.

Whole load of nowt, still set to be appointed at Lens
Of course it could but he said he’d join a championship team with ambitionIf he goes to Lens couldn’t it just as easily be that we can’t offer European football. Or the package that a team coming off the back of a season in the Champions League can offer. It doesn’t have to be something rotten in Denmark.
It’s an ambitious appointment, the risk you run with that is that you can fall just short, it doesn’t necessarily reflect badly on the club if Still goes elsewhere.
Quite surprised we've not been linked to Wagner.

Michael Beale coming back. He's been summoned from his family holiday to come back for one last prance
If this is the case then Still has played us good and proper.Ive heard the same from a contact
Sounds like we were willing to give Still what he wanted (coaching staff wise) but hes moved the goal posts and has been keeping his options open - all rumours of course and that info is 3rd hand info
Nobody said he demanded everything is changed to suit him. I said he came to the table and asked for X,Y and Z like any self respecting manager who thought anything of himself would do. You don’t want to walk into an operation that’s set up to fail. Many other clubs much bigger than ours run with a DoF and also allow a head coach to bring in his own people..
If it's not Still then it simply has to be Maric. That's the only thing that would provide a satisfactorily dramatic ending to the story of this thread.
The seemingly defeated and homeless @Blond Bombshell rides in on a white horse during the final scene, quick look to the camera...'telt yas' and then off in to the distance to spend his winnings.
I would be very happy with Maric personally.Currently the favourite in the betting market
