Mind, I maintain Sunderland are a better option for Will Still than Lens. If they're willing to pay him substantially more, fair enough, but getting us up, playoffs even, would set him up for a major job. Mid table or scraping a minor European place with Lens is just treading water. He'll be in the same pool in a year or two. Also, no one really cares about french football. Not even the french, apparently. If he goes there it's either for money or just because he feels its the safer bet, at this time.

Its only a good option for him if he is given the tools to do the job and can bring in his trusted colleagues.

And there are big question marks on both at Sunderland.
 
Honestly think we’ve dodged a bullet with Still. Always had a bad feeling with him and with every instagram story post I feel even more sure.
F<laugh>ck off man marra, his vid had you drooling over him. When I pointed out that there was something about him I didn't like, I'm sure you were waxing lyrical about him...

I've had a few red, if it wasn't you, it was a few others <cheers>

No I remember the conversation. I wasn’t waxing lyrical, from memory I was suggesting it was unfair of you to call him an arrogant **** after just watching 10 seconds and encouraging you to watch more

You’ve been proven to be right since tho :D

Most disagreed with you. I can't remember if I did post disagreeing with you, if I didn't I certainly thought it.

I saw nothing that I didn't like, until Lens came along. The way that was handled even if we did get him in and he had a successful season he would be all over social media making it clear he was available to the highest bidder!

I saw something in his eyes, not sure the ginger hair came in to it, no offence Corner. Just looked too calculating and agenda driven

As a person who doesn’t go to matches anymore due to weekend family commitments from when I gave up my season ticket the last year in the championship my opinion does not account for much. Getting rid of Mowbray was bad idea and far too early the succession planning is an abomination and just a buzz word nobody should believe the press as they now nowt.

i was one of the few that saw something we did not like...but if he had been the new man he would get the same support as any other.

This, for me, is the difficulty. That's actually what we want isn't it? An ambitious and talented gaffa who knows he's the bees knees and will be sought after? Or, do we want the understated consummate professional with the ability to get us out the league on the quiet...like a Rosenior, or a Mowbray......... or dare I say it, given he's actually done it before...a heckingb....I can't, sorry!!! #cansforjansen

Totally agree, and anyone (Beale included) gets my full support.
You work for the police? If not you should <laugh>.

Fair enough it seems you were spot on with it mate. :emoticon-0145-shake
I'm sure I read somewhere, your impression after the first 15 seconds is usually all you need

Yeah 100%, that's why him being a bit arrogant didn't bother me. I suppose looking for the next step up come hand in hand with getting someone who's young, confident, ambitious and shows some success.

Why are we dismissing any gossip/rumours of claims there’s issues around managers bringing their own staff etc as nonsense but taking Nixons word that Still was just going to the highest bidder, whilst also openly stating anything Nixon says is normally bollocks?

Was it not Roker report and craig hope that said still left to go to lens and did a U-Turn?
 
I'm in the minority that never wanted him in the first place, nor am I bothered if he goes elsewhere. It's irksome if we've wasted the last few weeks courting him and that has left us behind in the recruitment process, but the noises around Jansen are encouraging and Rosenior wouldn't the the end of the world

I wasn't enamoured either mate.
Even less so now if he's said he was coming and changed his mind.
Fùck him if that's the case.
