Dark Munster Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 48 minutes ago, Saint86 said: We're run by a man who credits himself with Brentford's rise. What's worse is he's one of those guys who can't imagine doing things any differently to what he's done before, and he's prepared to break any system to suit the mould he wants. Saints were functioning well enough when they came in (given the lack of input under Goa), and had started to turn the transfer side of things around once Hassenhuttle and Semmens had full control in the past year or so. Yes we were losing pace with the league, but what do people expect with no investment compared to every other team? SR then came in, undermined the manager and dismantled the coaching setup, completely disrupted the backroom staff across basically the entire club (from the academy and scouting to the business and financial side), and then they spent over £160M reshaping the squad with players that either weren't needed/ready, or didn't fit... and in the middle of all that, they singularly failed to do the most important thing - which was to sign a bloody striker to replace the goals of Ings. How you can spend £160M on a side with a good manager that badly needed investment and it make them worse is beyond me... but thats SRs legacy - relegation. The level of change they oversaw was a clear klaxon that they didn't know what they were doing, and that they were going to break everything to follow their incredibly arrogant and vain view that they were secret geniuses who were smarter than everyone else and who could do something new in football... The grand summation of all that, is that Rasmus Ankerson has taken the club with the 11th highest cumulative prem points total, and turned them into a club shitter than Brentford (when he was there). Russel Martin is just the latest instalment of the man's ego project. And in terms of transfer policy this summer... No decent fullback cover, no depth at CDM, and still needing a proper goalscorer. Great post, sums up Rasmus F*cking Ankersen and his SR clown show perfectly. (I ported this quote over from the Blackburn match thread because I think it belongs here for posterity.) 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OnceaSaintalwaysaSaint Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 Saint86 sums this lot up perfectly. What really grates is the way these people in sharp suits play with our club and treat it like a project. Sorry, Christophe, but I don't really care how Valencienne get on or whether Goztepe got promoted. In fact, driving up to Blackburn the other week, we got behind a Saints coach with a flag in the back window which had 'Saints on Tour' and the Goztepe emblem in one quarter!! Really? Maybe I'm getting old, but I hark back to Ralph who really cared for the club. We're weren't some stepping stone to him (unlike Poch, Koeman), and he recognised these chancers for what they are as soon as they got in. He was too polite to say it direct, but his "I'll be here for only two more years" told us all we needed to know about SR. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said as much in his inital interview - Whilst I acknowledge there's probably no manager that sees any job as a permanent appointment, I'm more inclined to agree with the sentiment that Hassenhuttl saw Saints as a long term project rather than overtly as a "stepping stone". I've just listened back at his initial interview (below) and there's nothing in there that even alludes to such thoughts. My overriding impression with RH, especially in the first couple of years, is that he quickly saw Saints as "his" club and everything seemed geared towards a partnership of longevity (the so called Ralph 'playbook' underpinning that philosophy). Anyway, all in the past now and we'll probably never know for sure what he perceived his career path to be upon joining us, and beyond.
