Bad Wolf Posted 14 October, 2022 Share Posted 14 October, 2022 This is being taken out of context. I think what he meant was the act of acquiring a second club (Göztepe) and thus starting the portfolio was a bigger deal than purchasing a club initially (Saints) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saintscummer Posted 14 October, 2022 Share Posted 14 October, 2022 their transfer record is 1.4 million euros and their ground holds maximum of 19.000. I think he is pissed on too many ouzo’s 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turkish Posted 14 October, 2022 Share Posted 14 October, 2022 Maybe Adam Blackmore was right, is arrogant for a club smaller than one in turkey no one has heard of with an average gate of less than 5,000 to think they should be doing alright in the premier league. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miltonaggro Posted 14 October, 2022 Share Posted 14 October, 2022 Saints currently ranked 82 globally, Harrogate Town 634, Goztepe unlisted as don’t meet the criteria. Ankersen needs to clarify to us small time second stream tosspots what he was on about, or indeed what he was on. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuckyNumber7 Posted 14 October, 2022 Share Posted 14 October, 2022 I'm hoping he's been misquoted or it's been taken out of context, as that's really not a good look from the club's owners. Just compounds the current negativity with everything else that's going on. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badger Posted 14 October, 2022 Share Posted 14 October, 2022 Perhaps Ankersen has spent too long in the company of Semmens and Steele. Their apparent ambition for the club has rubbed off on him. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

niceandfriendly Posted 14 October, 2022 Share Posted 14 October, 2022 (edited) Sorry, but is everyone losing their minds over a tweet from the mighty “Turk Scout”, an account with a thousand followers? Has anyone heard Ankersen actually say this? I doubt he’s said anything remotely like what has been quoted. If he has indeed been misquoted he was probably saying that Gozetzpe are a bigger “job” than Southampton, ie. more effort to make them a success. But chances are he has said nothing of the sort. 😂 This could go down as a classic thread. Edited 14 October, 2022 by niceandfriendly 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alehouseboys Posted 15 October, 2022 Share Posted 15 October, 2022 There's plenty of Turkish news outlets quoting this as their headline and saying Rasmus 'stated' this comment. Tbf, they have been Turkish League champions in the past and won a number of cups and Izmir does have a population of well over 4 million, so bigger in that sense. But they regularly play in front of small crowds in a smaller stadium - I assume he was speaking through a translator who could have twisted his words to appeal to the eager audience but he should now come out and clarify what's been reported. When they do turn up they do get typical Turkish support which is on a totally different level to anything in this country... https://www.facebook.com/TheCasualUltra/videos/göztepe-fans-initiated-their-new-stadium-last-weekend-in-the-match-against-beşik/807091053036100/ I'm sure the powers that be at SFC would be looking at closing down large swaths of that stadium with behaviour like that (only slightly tongue-in-cheek!) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
