Kraft, yes. But Ankersen? See @SaintNewForest's post above.

Like herpes I suspect that charlatan will hang around and stink the place up, albeit quietly in the background. I fear his Titanic-sized ego won't allow him to take a back seat, let alone resign. And wasn't Juric another of his genius picks?

 

All comes down to the business structure

Dragon Solak placed himself as the chaiman of Saints, that neuters Ankersson completely with regards to Southampton. 

Rasmus' decisions at Göztepe have worked currently so he remains there.

He is a director of the parent company. Turning up to a game doesn't mean he is doing Spors' job.

He doesn’t need to actually do his job to interfere with it. If Spors wants some data for transfer options, ok, or wants to send an unwanted player to one of his brother’s transfer dating sessions, yep, but Dragan needs to ensure Spors has the operating space he needs. And the parent company has failed abysmally with regard to Southampton FC, those results in the PL are the worst of any club over that sample size. Directors need to know where to keep distance where it’s failed for them.

Why?

Why don’t you stop trying to be such a fucking patronising smart arse all the time, it’s tiring. You’re one of the biggest attention seekers I’ve ever seen , always looking to play devils advocate and ask questions you fucking full well know the answers to. The fact you don’t even appear to be that bothered about the shit show that’s happened on SR’s watch says it all, you’re just on here to disagree with everyone because you’re oh so much smarter than everyone else and one step ahead of the common fan aren’t you? Give it a fucking rest, your presence here actually ruins the forum at times and just drags most topics into back and forth tit for tat needling.

Bunch of fucking clowns.

Blackmore interesting comments on the Solent BBC Sounds piece. Saying Jason Wilcox didn’t have full autonomy, has it at Man U. Urging SR to let Spors to get on with reporting direct to Solak on football and Parsons on business. Implication that Rasmus interfering and fear he will carry on doing so, creating layers of reporting. Given Rasmus was at the Spurs game I’d say he hasn’t given up the ‘recruitment by committee’ Blackmore refers to.

You’d have hoped that with Kraft going, Rasmus would have had his wings clipped at the same time.
 

Would be surprised if Dragan only half did the job in sorting tweedledum out but leaving tweedledee to carry on his buffoonery.

Saw some bloke that looked like Rasmus W in the queue at Seven Sisters tube station after the game yesterday. Couldn’t have been could it ? Thought he’d have been chauffeur driven.

If Dragan had any sense, he would have a quiet word with Rasmus and tell him to fuck right  off.

[Andrew Watson]

If Ankerson has any thing to do with the decision we are totally screwed, surely Mr Solak realizes that .

[saintant]

If Rasmus is still pulling some of the strings we are well and truly stuffed.

[ally_uk]

Tell Rasmus to fcuk off to Goztepe sharpish! 

[Wade Garrett]

I get the impression that Ankersen’s involvement here is to just make money for his brother’s player trading business.  Surely the owner can see through that.
