Why would I judge him by anything other than his spell in the same League that we're in? What he may or may not have done in the Lower Leagues in France is frankly completely irrelevant. Not sure what he's done in Ligue 1 but obviously it didnt translate over here.

He left Reims after getting only 2 wins in his last 14 games. Suggests it fell apart after an initial good start. He only managed 22 games, at 2 different clubs before that, so not really a good measure of how he would have panned out over the longer term. 37 games at Lens, looks to be successful stint, obviously left due his wife's health issues. Only managed 16 games with only 4 wins before being right binned off by Southampton. Gotta remember he's only 33 as well and has was never a professional footballer, not that you have to be, but it would certainly help. It's a no from me as well.

Will Still clearly has some managerial ability or he wouldn't have done well over in France and Belgium....BUT he took the wrong job over here in Southampton - immediate pressure to bounce back to the prem at the first attempt and a greater need to hit the ground running. He would've been better off taking a less pressuring gig like Swansea or Hull, where he'd likely have been given more time to get to grips with the Championship and continue to build his reputation. Not sure Rovers at this moment in time is a good fit for him though.

Savage isnt doing s brilliant job at FGR, Jimmy McNulty and Luke Garrard are all comfortably outperforming him

I’d be very wary about his methods adapting to English football. 2 wins in 13 when he was in charge. 8 wins from 17 since he left. Southampton clearly picked up after he left. Bringing him in in this scenario when we need an instant impact would be foolish.

If there is one bad spell but good stuff wherever else they've been it's a better omen than being poor and sacked everywhere else they've been. Aside from one good season somewhere 5 years ago.

Will Still has done brilliantly considering it all started with a course at Myerscough College. Pushed himself way outside of his comfort zone and chased a career. His record in France and Belgium is excellent, Southampton was a bad choice of club given where they were at on the back of a year of getting whalloped

Savage would be barmy to come here. If he plays his cards right, he will get a better offer at L1 or Championship side that isn't a complete basketcase.

You're obsessed with this short spell. Why does that completely outweigh everything that he had done previously?

If you see any white smoke, let us know.

I guess you need to look at what he’s done in France and Belgium rather than judging him on just Southampton.

Live on Bolton Rd,said same to my lad.

No nonsense - Robbie Savage?

I wasn’t sure where to put this so I gathered it was here. I’ve been looking for a Szmodics matchworn shirt for a while and haven’t seen any come up in ages and was wondering if anyone had one that they would be willing to let go of? Happy to discuss costs or whatever. Or let me know if there’s a better place for me start this conversation. Thanks!

This evening's viewing Robbie Savage: Managing Macclesfield FC: http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m002nbvt

Thinking about robbie savage. I'd definitely be ok with him. He wouldn't take any shit from the players. He'd be a real character on the touchline

Apart from no nonsense, focussed, good motivator and committed?

Macclesfield Rev.

He's already done well at Macclesfield tbf. Then again so did Ince.

Could be absolutely nothing and there may even be an event of some kind on down at Ewood - but I can see from my house that the floodlights are on right now. Possibly doing some related to a new manager - interviews / stadium visit / photoshoot?

I don’t see anything in Savage that persuades me he’d make a manager.

It's been pointed out. ☺️

He’s from a local family. Made his money in IT.

Burton Albion away was Mogga’s first match.
