None of those questions are unreasonable.

1) The top 9 or 10 clubs in Ligue 1 are better any Championship team. 2) The Championship is a label for a game, the label of the division doesn't impact events on the pitch. Why couldn't Still treat a match at St Mary's like a French league game? What impact would the Championship label have to stop that?

1) The French top flight is of a higher quality than the Championship. 2) Why the emphasis on experience of the Championship? The Championship is a label for a game, it doesn't impact events on the pitch.

Not currently or you wouldn't be able to see what you just quoted.

What are you objecting to? He isn't a novice manager. His first managerial job was 8 years ago and he has just finished 8th in the 5th best league in Europe. What were you expecting a Championship side to do?

I do, but you continue to choose not to use it.

That doesn't answer the question.

Slippery slope!

That was all very vague and we do not know exactly what happened and the reasoning for it.

Ruling out people sacked by Warford rules out a lot of managers!

We've had the two Koeman brothers. We might get three Stills! Will Still's coaching team includes Edward Still and Nicholas Still.

Attributes are 1-20, not ticks 😉

In what way does the league label impact the match? If for example we labelled Lens vs Monaco a Premier League game and Saints vs Derby County a Ligue 1 game. How do those league labels make a difference to what happens on the pitch?

Why are you labeling it an experiment? He isn't a novice manager any more and has multiple years of experience. He just finished 8th in the 5th best European league.

€25m Europa League finalist Kevin Danso. It is still a higher level than the Championship.

Not in a league game vs a full strength side. Nor has Jones finished 8th in one of Europe's top 5 leagues like Will Still just has.

Kayi Sanda on the bench!

Or Koeman or Pochettino before they were big successes with us.

Indeed. It'll be me replacing Mark Bitcon next 😉

He just beat Monaco 4-0 yesterday. That is a tougher game than anything he'll face in the Championship.

Will Still leaves RC Lens on a high, they thrashed AS Monaco 4-0 in his last match...

A Saints manager who is a fan of Football Manager and an assistant Sporting Director who used to work at Sports Interactive.

Why does he need experience of the Championship? The league is a label for a game, it doesn't impact what is on the pitch.

We made the FA Cup semi final and League Cup final after they both left.
