The do seem happy to spend money, just wish they'd find the £12m apparently needed to send Rusty & the Relegators packing. Maybe Kraft, Ankersen, and Hoover could contribute their performance bonuses.

Excellent summary of where things are.

Christ that top side would be an easy watch. I would have to get Golac, Williams, Keegan and Channon in there but either way likely wins the league.

I think Wigley was 9 points in 14 games in the Prem for Saints, so currently being hammered by Russell's 4 from 11 in the worst manager stakes.

He really luffs them...

Plus a much cheaper hot dog.

#Brownmore...

Then why not just stop.

Should be taking extra training sessions not fucking about on Western Shore.

One thing I do like about Mickey, despite the shortcomings you mention, is that he always uses spellcheck and fucking paragraphs...

Heard that Dragan has identified an up and coming Chinese Irish manager to replace Rusty - Haw Fackin Long

Could see that Badger.

Yes really, that's a perception held by a good many apparently! No, we don't need to go there again, but it's clearly the thought that counts.

I genuinely think Championship teams would also think twice. He's consecutively underachieved in two divisions at a relatively large club with relatively substantial resources, and the CV has very little success as player or coach. Could see him back at a club like MK Dons, possibly low end Championship on a substantial pay cut once the inevitable SFC severance pay runs out.

Plus a German international centre half on the Xbox and Der Kaiser a shoe in. Escape to Victory levels.

Probably £55m seeing as he managed to outmanoeuvre Ryan Roberto Carlos Manning...

Minor shareholder but still has a stake. She's clearly been on the 5:2 diet so probably up for a fight!

Spice Girls, two become one

He's from the favela - but never seen Shirley...

Because Pep protégé Russ will 'love' him like he's never been loved before, that's why! Plus Ocean Village, West Quay and the New Forest, obviously.

The comments about not being able to replace Martin is plain daft, managers with PL and top European league experience are clearly available, as well as arguably better prospects than Martin in the national set ups or Championship if we have to dip down there yet again. When we decisively replaced Hughes (P15 9pts) with Hassenhutl start of December 2018, I remember being pleasantly surprised - not in need of resuscitation

Exactly this by the way, spot on Weston. Surely anyone who has managed or owned a business is well aware of this. Even with a comparative or equal shareholding director removals can and do happen if the party is determined enough and willing to litigate. On the face of it getting rid of Ankerson would appear relatively easy technically and at a human (performance) level.

Not sure what the main gist of this is, Manji, other than pleading to cut the beleaguered Rasmus Ankersen some slack. Most people are able to function on here without name calling fellow fans, and when it occurs its either taking the piss or one of the few hard of thinking, you'd be right to shrug it off. That said, people have strong opinions in terms of their football club so heat is part and parcel when swimming against the tide. So is gallows humour of course. People don't 'take the piss' or 'scapegoat' Ankersen to garner popularity, they do so because they've identified him as part of the problem rather than the solution - if Kraft has recently described him as 'Mr Football' he needs to seek professional help (both meanings). Personally, working in an industry that's partly reliant on assessing whether people are being economical with the truth I feel that I managed to assess Solak, Kraft and Ankersen relatively quickly - self-made entrepreneur, speculative financier and narcissistic fraud. Nothing I've seen or heard since the takeover makes me feel that I should change that view. I don't really care how Goztepe are doing whilst wishing them no ill will, but I would imagine that cutting it in the EPL is a tad more difficult than the top two tiers of Turkish football. Should we be happy to have SFC used as a work experience project? Sport Republic are failing miserably by all metrics, spending hundreds of millions to make SFC worse in all Departments (remember us being 12th when they took over from an exhausted manager and a Chairman who was skint). I genuinely feel for Solak, and want him to succeed but there is no goodwill for Rasmus, that would have to be earned. If things don't improve almost vertically in the next two or three games I would imagine there will be around 30,000 reading Sport Republic and their man Russell their horoscope for the remainder of 24/25. Being 'loved' by the players and 'loving' them right back wont save Martin at that point, and if Solak is a serious man he should seize the moment to remove Ankersen - better late than never.

You’re right, but won’t happen with Russell’s doppelgänger, the Home Bargains Beckenbauer, available.

Spot on, second reading it’s just that.
