Although Rangers have bad news to whisper to Will Still, the Southampton head must accept the unlucky update and seek solutions at St. Mary's fast and quick.
Will Still hasn't dived into international team coaching, but tomorrow's Ireland fixture is as precious to him like a Championship playoff contest. The latter nights have never came to Still but the second division ramps up those phases soon for a tactician who has to peek his sacking balance at other clubs.
From Monday, Still must be crossing his fingers for Rangers to favour Danny Röhl candidature and keep Saints in the dark over the German's availability. Now, the Englishman is relieved of it but wish the Ibrox giants went easy on the 32-year-old.
As per a BBC report, the Rangers transfer chiefs have instead snubbed Röhl down in the priority queue for Steven Gerrard.
Will Still can't seek unconditional Saints backing with Röhl's presence
With this, Still has to live the next portion of the 2025/26 campaign with Röhl virtually camping down his shoulder. That asks for less room for diluting points and stitching winning runs across weeks, after all, Still has already skidded his way in registering wins.
An unwanted layer to Still's headaches will be Saints' impatient-ness with Röhl. This faithful has bought into glorious visions of Röhl igniting stability and eye-pleasing football at St. Mary's, but the wait part is stretching like a rubber band.
Thus, the more Still leaves them unfulfilled and desperate for long-rangers to mask a poor day on the field, the more Southampton fans will crave for Röhl's takeover. Even in France, Still's previous home is in no need of dialling him again for a gaffer's designation.
Broadly said, Still must realise the elongated time he can miss from instructing players if his Southampton project crumbles without an impressive meaning. Let's have a watch here, maybe Still's smartest ideas need a fear factor to arrive first.
