I find this quite worrying the influence of Ankersen on Solak. If you add what Alfie House said on the TSP podcast along with what the French reporter wrote (that Sports Republic is a mess and some are employed but have no real job) this spells disaster. My take on this, I am not ITK, is that Ankersen likely tells Solak whats best for the club (players, coaches, strategy etc) and Solak tells the staff to do so. Like telling Spors to go hunting for young talent instead of more established players. It would explain the high turnover in staff and why loads who join the club suddenly don’t perform. Ankersen strikes me as someone who thinks he’s smarter then everyone else and uses data and AI to make decisions over common sense and experience. Likely so the reason we don’t employ a more experienced manager. Can’t see a manager who’s been around and has achieved succes come in and be told how to play or who to play. Best we can hope for is that Solak starts realizing the way the clubs going and makes some big decisions. As said above, this is pure speculation and I could be completely wrong.

Because Juan day he might be an important player for us… I’ll get my coat.

Just had a look and Martin was sacked on the 4th of oktober at Rangers. After that we draw 0-0 to Derby and lost the other games. On the TSP podcast they mention that our poor form got a lot worse in the last few weeks. Could it be that some players thought, let’s throw the towel and act like helmets, they might sack Still and Russell can come back (presumably they’ve been texting Martin and asked if he fancies coming back). Or am I making things up?

Don’t mind having a German manager. If you are reading Johannes, please can it be someone from the list below. - Jurgen Klopp - Marco Rose - Julian Nagelsmann - Adi Hutter - Hansi Flick - Roger Smidt Anyone else will have to be Saintsweb approved. Good luck 👍🏼

If Martin is reappointed then it’s obvious someone on the board is taking the piss. Maybe even a secret Skate that has infiltrated our club. Or maybe there’s a virus of the data computer and it keeps putting Martin at the top of the list.

No, on common sense.

There you go, 16 minutes of absolute gobbledy geek from professional bullshitter and failed football guru Rasmus. Xy stat equals Xe and when you master that you can beat your opponent Xg to Xf. No you fucking twat, you beat your opponent by scoring more goals and if you have a small budget in the competition you compete in, you make sure your players are very fit physically and drilled to a system that works to their strengths. Like my girlfriend asking me today, what would you like for lunch today? Hold on love let me grab my laptop and see what the statistics say and equal this and that. Or, well it’s Sunday, I am English so obviously I want a Sunday roast.

I’m not trolling or have used any funny substances, but I rate Still as a manager and coming back I think Jones isn’t too bad either. What I do think is that we hired them at the wrong time and didn’t hand them the tools they needed. Hasenhuttl liked playing a high press, but the problem was they forgot to buy him a striker. In comes Jones, a decent championship manager who likes to play a more conventional style. They bring in Onuachu but forget the players he needs to play how he wants. That said Jones’s demeanor wasn’t to everyone’s liking and I was firmly in the Jones out camp too. Fast forward to Still, another manager who’s done well but they also forget to buy him a striker he needs to play his preferred style. Another problem is the state of the club, how can you think a young 30 something manager can bring the players together after such an awful season and rebuild the squad. You need an experienced manager who knows the league and has done it before. Someone like Mowbary who’s been around, nothing fancy just someone to steady the ship, help the club and once we are moving forward look around for the next manager for the next step. I had high hopes for Still but he has made mistakes and has been let down. Sack him and I dread to think who Sports Republic replace him with. If they can find someone cos who wants to come to a club run like ours now.

I am still undecided on sacking Still or giving him more time. So far Sports Republic have appointed, Nathan Jones Ruben Selles Russel Martin Ivan Juric Simon Rusk Will Still They can’t all be poor managers and not all players are rubbish.

They sacked/removed Kraft so it shouldn’t be too hard to remove the others I guess.

I’ll be honest that prior to seeing his name mentioned on here, I had never heard of Challinor. Had to look up online about him and what he has done at Stockport is amazing. However, if the board decides to sack Still, I don’t think Challinor is the right replacement. I think we need someone with experience in the Championship and possibly the Premier League. We are in free fall and need someone who can stop that and build the foundations for a fresh push to the Premier League. Someone who’s seen it, been around for a while and will get the respect from the players instantly. Challinor, Rosenior etc are all great prospects and will likely do well. Still included. But for a young manager to join us now could be very damaging for their career. We are becoming a managers graveyard if we continue like this.

If true and Spors and his agent are looking for a new club for him, is it because, 1. He wants to work at a bigger club. 2. He and his family can’t settle in England. 3. He wants to jump ship before we get in to a bigger mess. 4. He’s logged on to Saintsweb, read the messages and thought: Fuck these ungrateful cunts after all my hard work, I am off. 5. His hands are tied on transfers and others big decisions by Sports Republic (Rasmus and laptop) and he doesn’t agree with what they are doing. 6. Something else. I am leaning towards number 5.

Spors wasn’t the problem at Vitesse, it’s was the dodgy ownership and them thinking they could challenge for the championship. Offtopic, how come you follow N.E.C? I know the club well having gone to school at the other side of the Goffert park.

James Ward-Prowse not in the West Ham squad for personal reasons according to LiveScore. Under Potter a starter and has now been left out completely.

An interesting video regarding the promoted teams. And if you’re on this channel, watch his video about England under Tuchel and why they keep getting better. A good watch.
