International under 20 football is a long way below the standard of the Premier League and Championship. Lots of players in international under 20 teams don't have great careers.

When exactly?

Mara has 1 goal in 25 league games for Strasbourg.

So could appointing any manager! Some appear to think Still has been managing a French pub team for 1 year. He has been around the pro game for 10+ years, including three years in a strong league. Facing Monaco, Marsaille, PSG, Lyon, Nice etc is tougher than anything he'll face next season in the Championship!

PSG being better than the rest doesn't make the rest of the league worse than the Championship. Marseille, Monaco, Lyon, Lille, Nice, Lens etc are all bigger than most Championship clubs.

He has been a manager in a major European league for 3 years and in backroom staff of professional teams for 10+ years including as an assistant. A league that is ranked higher than the Championship.

UEFA rank them! ffs

Why is that funny?

He missed Mark Wotte and, more notably, Ronald Koeman!

What makes it a 'pointless gamble'? He has managed in the 5th best league in Europe for the past 3 seasons and we will be in a lower quality league. It isn't a case of 'this time' for the person picking the manager, as this is Johannes Spors first Saints manager pick.

Leicester have not announced they have sacked van Nistelrooy, and so haven't had a need to announce a replacement.

He has managed in the 5th best league in European football for the last 3 seasons. Is it really an 'experiment' to hire him for a worse league?

He posted it today.

If Sheff United win, the only parachute payment teams in 2025/26 Championship will be Saints, Leicester and Ipswich. The fewer the better for Saints!

We weren't overly defensive, considering the quality of the opponent. Saints had 41% possession, Saints had 8 corners to Arsenal's 4, Saints had 14 shots on goal to Arsenal's 12.

BBC journalist says...

Hopefully! As the transfer window opens in roughly 1 week!

I wasn't "scooped". I saw that he had described what the Telegraph journalist has said, but he hadn't included the post itself. So to be helpful to others on the forum I linked to the source. I was adding to what was already there for the benefit of the forum. Perhaps you could try it?

Time for another Still update.

Bullshit. You will find I posted the tweet first so people could see the source of what he was saying because he didn't, he then edited his post to include it. I was being helpful, something you are not.

There were rumours RC Lens wanted Sulemana in January. So he might be a player Will Still will still want to keep.
