I’d say 80% of fans think their club is the worst run club. Talking to a hardcore Hull fan they are having a meltdown because Selles hasn’t put them in a promotion position. It’s has been shit this season but really how many really expected us to do well this season ? stop being a fucking drama queen . It’s getting harder and harder to sustain a solid position in the PL. I’d reckon even Forest are having a false dawn. it’s ages since Sir Jim took over United, Spurs all over the place and so on.t how long you been supporting Saints ? I remember we were stuffed 7-0 by Everton, no meltdown by fans think it was the following week we then beat Boro 4-0. Im not defending SR but again we could have a lot worse in charge. I’d be happy with Elon Musk in charge but in a lot of ways I hate clubs being used as pawns. fucking hell Sir Jim Ratcliffe that would be really bad and that’s without mentioning his unsavory history.

Do Sports Republic still do that open talk forum?
manji replied to The very right reverend's topic in The Saints
Why protest? Juric has just taken over we’ve seen an improvement and he hasn’t been helped by injuries, dodgy refs and suspensions. I’m not a SR fanboy now I’m just being pragmatic. I can’t see SR walking at the moment and any sort of new ownership isn’t going to make much difference . I mean look at Sr Jims epic takeover at United. im fvcked off with this season . This FWIW are my expectations give Juric time to fully evaluate the team as we are relegated . Big picture I’m not even that bothered by the Derby record. We’ve got two transfer windows and to say there’s least plenty of time to prep for next season. If we aren’t fully prepared for that I’m going to cancel my “ propaganda agent “ contract with SR sure it’s going to cost me some money but my hearts not in it. seriously if anyone gives shit to Juric if we do lose to Brentford they need to give themselves a good slap. -

Maybe a protest walk to the ground on match day ? -
Juric will have been fully aware we are likely to be relegated. I’m guessing he won’t be that bothered about our results but will want to start improvement. Our defence is better and most important our intent is better a couple of times today he threw a wobbler when a player took a “ safe “ option and passed back . He will be observing I’m no tactition but I noticed Tall Paul can take two opposition players out of the game giving us space. We didn’t know how to use it . our players have had 18 months of brainwashing from Russball some are adapting well some are looking incapable of changing AA for example . Apparently there’s going to be a few in and outs in January and definitely in the summer. Juric is aggressive but also pragmatic. He’s turned teams around in Italy and is used to working on a small budget . It was clear he has watched a lot of English football . he knows what he’s getting into and I’m sure SR will have made him aware of available budget the lot. Yep this is a lot of guesswork but I reckon Juric believes English football will suit him. Promotion next season but better prepared. Look at the points of the bottom half of the PL the teamss are poor . I reckon once we are better organised we could have done Palace easily . We’ve lost a lot of games but most by fine margins it wouldn’t have taken that much to turn those games. We’ve already got some good players Archer being a good example but he’s not been utilized properly surely Juric is capable of turning him around. When RM got his new contract it gave him a lot a say in the transfers. I guess some were chosen for thier suitability for Russball. Juric has had two games but big picture they weren’t disasters realistically we aren’t staying up . I’m going to be looking at the attitude and method we are playing for let’s say the last 12 games.

Yep AA has his limitations but he’s playing his part.

Even th even the most loyal fan has been mentally damaged by this season.
-
I totally agree. I can’t believe I backed Martin for so long . There you go I’ve said it.
-
It’s Jurics first game we were never staying up. Everyone has been saying how much we’ve improved . I’ve just got back from work it was a fuckin pleasure reading the comments about the first half. Clearly the team have got to toughen up and so do a few on this forum.
-
Yes this is me saying this. I reckon it was a good performance it’s going to be difficult for some players. They’ve literally been brainwashed to play Russball . I bet there was more than one time a player was thinking shit I shouldn’t be doing this then realising it’s OK. In some ways it could be seen as amusing but that moment of hesitation could make all the difference. I think Juric is an inspired selection but he’s going to need some time to really turn this teams mentality around and may the lord forgive me for saying this SR had better have said they are prepared to back him financially. Sure they’ve spent some money but let’s face it we are going down and probably in danger of losing our better players . I like the cut of Jurics jib the film of him having a punch up with Torino’s director or whoever he is it’s well worth looking for on X and anyone that’s gone to a Ministry gig has to be be alright .

Should Dragan Šolak remove Rasmus Ankersen from the SFC board?
manji replied to Dark Munster's topic in The Saints
Goztepe doing well finally promoted to Super League . When they were in the league below they were near the top and Rasmus sacked the manager because of the way they were playing football. It was a shock decision in Turkish Football but the team improved without looking it up they were promoted in second place . Rasmus has done well . Good position for their first season. It’s obvious RM has the backing, the players are behind him too. quick caveat I’m really fucked off with the way we are playing. There seems to be a horrible inevitability to most of our results. I can’t do anything about it . I can’t see anyone wanting to take over from RM . Rather than the infantile scapegoating of Rasmus I’m trying to look big picture and hope for the best. I used to love this forum FWIW I’ve stopped paying because it’s become boring. This might amuse some but a thread was started something like " manji is a cunt " water off my back . If I wanted likes I’d just take the piss out of Rasmus and I would become popular. considering all the bollocks about forum rules I was surprised the thread wasn’t taken down. I’m guessing Admin have given into popular opinion and of course the more posts the better . They are probably making money from the forum. -
2-0 down to the worst team in the league, then the next load of games are against top six teams. No good going on about bad decisions. Shouldn’t have been 1-0 down in the first place should have scored more , obviously. twice in the last couple of minutes no one up front to pass to.
-
This is me saying this BTW ever the optimist. It’s the same every game we played really well once we iron out the mistakes we will be fine. FFS I’m sick of hearing how well we are playing with fuck all result. Yes I’ve had enough. mind you I think even a new manager isnt going to make any difference
-
This forum is so poorly managed now. That’s the main reason we’ve lost all those old members. It used to be entertaining anyone that stepped over the mark was warned then blocked. Now the vocal minority can abuse and bully anyone that supports RM can’t be bothered to look for it know but some idiot was criticising fans when they celebrated the winning goal at Stoke . Think about it slagging Saints fans for celebrating a Saints goal.
-
If true which I doubt why wait. Unless it’s someone completely awesome and still sorting contract
-
You lot would be moaning because we’ve signed an unknown manager on the cheap

Hurrah token dig. I been on this site for decades. FWIW didn’t renew this season and rarely on here. It’s dreadful. Just pages of desperate moronic digs at RM, SR and of course Rasmus who is nothing to do with first team. I sometimes browse Leeds, Leicester, Everton forums they are far more pragmatic and at least have intelligent comments . supported the club since 5 years old and it’s true we’re are a bunch of southern softies. We also seem to have of wedge of fans wanting the team to do badly. written off now but the horrendous abuse given to Smallbone on Twitter. I used to love in the eighties out fans were amazing but now just a bunch of bed wetting moany fuckers. The amount of time these fans spend on here very strange. Oh and the amount of attention paid to the Circle Of Trust reminds me of one of those “exclusive “ div gangs at school. The members clearly have too much time on thier hands ( I would suggest getting a girlfriend ) the gullible followers and the little attention I paid they were rarely correct. one more the administrators of this site seem afraid of the COT and are afraid of calling out the bulllying and so forth the political narrative on the General forum is dominated by self appointed experts regurgitating bullshit from The Guardian. Thankfully this format is dying and will be superseded by Tik Tik, Reddit Rumble and the like leaving you lot as a small bunch of socially disfunctional twats arguing amongst yourselves . 🫡🇷🇺
-
Or what the fuck did we bring him in for ? At least Martin knew the team. Along with some irrelevant comment on Rasmus.
-
Always a sensible option.
-
It’s refreshing to hear someone talking sense being pragmatic. You will get the divs adding laughing emojis and of course some slagging but you are right sacking RM isn’t an option . Arteta is a good example there are plenty of managers that clubs have stuck with. its social media it allows certain bedwetters the opportunity to post kneejerk reactions. I’m not just talking about this forum Twitter is worse and there’s a national audience play to. and there’s been a clique that have been waiting for this to happen . All the dopey hipster comments this is the way all top level football is going.

One of the main reasons the havnt replaced Wilcox.
-
I’ve no agenda here. I have no idea what should be done. But SR gave him an amazing new contract part of which was RM was allowed full control of transfers. They knew what they were getting and he had no intention of changing the way we play. That suggests to me it’s going to take a lot before they sack him. FWIW I’m conflicted a couple of wins would obviously change things and I can’t think of a decent replacement .
