I know we've been around this loop before but I can't remember the definitive position... Does Solak actually have hire and fire rights at boardroom level within the Sport Republic company structure, or is he 'just' an investor who happens to have a vested interest in Sport Republic but he couldn't actually get rid of Ankersen if he wanted to...?

Genuine question.... If it's demonstrable that someone within a club's ownership group appears to be willfully destroying that club from within, is there a mechanism within the EFL constitution whereby they can, and should, be investigated?

How on Earth does any ownership group that is that unhinged ever pass a 'fit and proper' test? Surely no footballing body allows lunatics to own a football club...?

He could have exercised some self-awareness and refused the job...

Alfie going all guns blazing... Shame it's taken so long for a journo to hold these reckless owners to account...

Why would someone who praised a manager when he was doing really well feel like an idiot when said manager subsequently starts doing really badly? The only way they would feel like an idiot is if they knew at the time that the manager was going to go from 'great' to 'crap' overnight but still decided to praise him, which obviously isn't possible....

I'm going to smear excrement on my seat before I leave

Jelert on for Quashie

Scienza. The only player who seems to give a shit.

At the match... I've been watching Adam Armstrong all game, in particular his demeanor after each goal... HE IS NOT CAPTAIN MATERIAL. Zero reaction, zero motivation. Take the f***ing armband off him FFS.

Any idea why Stewart and Stephens are warming up with the starting 11 but the other subs aren't...?

Ah...

Romeu not in the U21 squad this evening.... Thought he needed game time before getting back into the first team reckoning...?
