“I’m not going to start lying…” – Sunderland-linked manager on ‘flattering’ interest, ‘completely open’ with his club

Even though the whole Sunderland meeting with Will Still incident happened three months ago, the French media continues to question him about it.

In a podcast about becoming a manager called L’Enfer du Banc, the manager of

Stade de Reims was informed of the most recent revelation of the intense drama

that transpired before to the January transfer window.

In addition to talking about many facets of his work, the 31-year-old was questioned about why he chose to be so

transparent about Sunderland’s interest in him during a news conference, stating

that he was going to London to meet his girlfriend.

“I prefer to be absolutely transparent and perfectly honest with everyone because it avoids rumors, the “someone told me that” mentality, and innuendos, which are abhorrent in the football world.”Yes, there are clubs that call me, there are clubs that are interested in

what we do,” I said to the directors present. “I’m never by myself.” That is

flattering to me. I believe it would be foolish of me to not find that endearing. I

won’t start lying to the public to give the impression that I’m stressed when I’m

not if they ask. I said it for that reason, especially in that lighthearted manner.

Ultimately, Sunderland chose to hire rather than pursue Still.recruit the unattached Michael Beale, but the former Rangers manager was only able to oversee 12 games before Juan Sartori ended things.

Now that Mike Dodds has taken over as manager for the Black Cats once more, with others attempting to assist him, the team will conclude the season without a manager.
