Who do we want as the new permanent Saints manager?
at 16:36 7 Apr 2025

Actually, Fonte working with Lallana and Spors, and maybe even Rusk, could be an inspired move.

He was very good at motivating players around him, something that has been sadly lacking since he left. He understands English football at both Championship and Premier League level.

Also, I think he still owns property in the city, retaining a link to the city.

I wouldn't be surprised to see SR appoint JD Vance!

What will it take for fans to show any anger at the state of our club?
at 11:19 7 Apr 2025

Nothing - some of our fans are genuinely pathetic. Celebrating relegation is staggeringly poor. The combination of SR and our fan base has increasingly turned me away from giving a toss about Saints - a team I have supported for 60 years!

Worth remembering: Only one country has ever asked for NATOs assistance.

America. After 9/11.

I think Trump and Vance are jealous of Zelenskyy - after all he's a real hero not just a motor mouth!

I don't really understand what you mean by "Zelenskyy failed to remember his manners with the leader of the free world". What did he do wrong and what should he have done differently?

Comparing the current squad of a Premier League team who have had not insignificant financial investment with the squads of a Championship club which was heading for bankruptcy is frankly a bit desperate! It's like comparing mouldy oranges with rotten apples.

Parsons Has To Go
at 15:40 24 Feb 2025

A great example of Parsons' running of the non-football side of the business was the FA Cup ticket pricing. To Nick's point, sensible pricing would have attracted more casual fans, which in turn would have boosted revenue from the shop, food & drink etc.

The fact that the clear and obvious Swansea mistake was repeated for the Burnley game suggests that Parsons hasn't got really a clue about revenue generation.

The major difference to me is that, whilst our fans sit on their phones, write poems and post on social media, the fans of other clubs - Rangers, Spurs, Leicester etc. - seem to care.

No chance of a protest - our fans are like cattle being quietly led to slaughter. It's one of the reasons I've stopped going - along with not wanting to give SR a single penny.

If Bournemouth can do it with gates of 11,000 why can't we.

I think the solution is for Sport Republic to stop this ludicrous multi-club model - which seems to benefit none of the clubs, with the possible exception of Goztepe who seem to be able to source players via Saints (although I think that this is a marginal benefit). I can't actually think of any multi-club models that bring benefit to all the clubs involved as a result of being part of the model.

My solution would be for the clubs to be run completely separately (although they could still have the same parent company). Ankersen could then focus solely on Goztepe, Kraft on Valenciennes and Solak on Saints (his biggest investment) with a competent DoF who understands English football.

See Manchester United & BBC are whining: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cvg8ejpplp2o

Pot calling kettle black.

I wonder why the BBC don't care when it's their favourites like Manchester United and Liverpool doing the same thing? After all we all know that the BBC is impartial.

Also, fitness takes time to build up and there is a clear correlation between lack of fitness and making mistakes - something Saints have been guilt of all season. Martin clearly was a very lazy manager - not just in this respect but also going into Winchester instead of watching Saint's next two opponents. I really pity whichever team he joins next (please make it Pompey!).

As mentioned on a different thread, Saints are paying the price for a lack of fitness - 100% down to Martin.

However, I totally agree with your views on Sport Republic - who I despise for what they have done to our club.

Is there also anyone due back from Goztepe?
