Don't really understand why people go on about getting the next Rickie Lambert considering we were a bloody L1 club ourselves when we bought him. And he wasn't some undiscovered gem, he was the top scorer in the division.

Will Still = maybe Leicester but more likely Fulham / Bournemouth depending on who Tottenham poach in the summer.

Give to Big Sam until the end of the season. Big believer in crosses.

I think the closest match to Saints appointing Adkins this summer would be appointing someone who had achieved promotion from that division and then did well to keep his club stable in the division above. Someone like, I don't know, just give me a minute, let's say Steve Cooper.

Anytime you want to admit you're wrong and say that Adkins had clearly not "achieved fuck all" feel free.

We were a League One club when we appointed a man who had literally won League One and been promoted twice from League One. How that compares with us taking a punt on Rohl i'll never know.

Er, he didn't do fuck all, did he? Literally got promoted twice in three seasons from the division that we then recruited him to get us out of, Including winning the league title.

Why? When we were confirmed relegated there were people on here saying no we would start winning because the pressure was now off.

Doesn't matter. He won’t be coming back to work for the people that sacked him.

Make some subs Rusk FFS

We can all see it coming. But honestly I'd rather have no substitutes and risk professional footballers being "too tired" than make a load of subs (Smallbone, Bree, Wellington, Archer) who are so fucking shit we are guaranteed to lose anyway. Just leave this team on FFS.

Probably our best 11. We will still lose.

Middlemiss and Whiley double bill tonight. Exceptional.

Nathan Jones Charlton are guaranteed Play Offs at least. He's done a decent job there.

Yeah, you're right. The guy who has been in charge for 12 league matches is definitely at fault for everything. Not sure why it bothers you how West Ham and/or Graham Potter are doing anyway. Why do you give a fuck?

35 points with 6 games to go is safe safe safe safe and there isn't a season in recent memory where they'd be anywhere near troubling relegation. It's not about how bad the bottom 3 are this year. Potter has been there less than half a season so a bit stupid to pin all their issues on him.

The forum hero worship of this Spors guy will disappear pretty rapidly if we end up appointing Steven Gerrard.

I think the point is if you spend £100m on the manager you can't then say "sorry it's frees and loans for the players because we spent the budget on you".

It's not a strawman to say you are a monumental bellend.

Sport Republic is Sport Republic is Sport Republic. From bean to cup, they fuck up. Next season, new league, new manager we start again. But drooling over this Spors guy makes no sense at this point. Just some other guy. Promotion is a basic requirement so it is at least 18 months from now (say we are a in with a shout of staying in the Prem come December '26) before we can say they have made any progress at all. So let's dial down the hero worship of some guy who none of us have heard of and who hasn't done anything yet

I think you might need to stop treating this Spors guy as a bloody messiah when he's done nothing for us yet. This is the Sport Republic era, who have fucked up twice already so it is reasonable to assume they can do so again.

You know they fucked up in 22/23 as well right? We can't just go "yeah we know we fucked up" over and over again. We have some decent fees and a decent financial position going into next season (definitely better than Leicester) but nothing taken for granted in what will be a tough Championship season.

I think you might want to stop trying to play down the absolute clusterfuck that the SR regime have been. It's not going to work you trying to position this season as just "a crappy season" like lots of Premier League teams have. Trust us, we've had crappy seasons. This is different- we are heading to the end of April on 10 points. 10. Before SR turned up we'd had an unbroken decade in the top flight. They've turned us now, basically, into Norwich City. This was supposed to be "the greatest era in our history" according to some (you). Funny you have now altered your position to "well, it's been worse". Inspirational stuff. Let's hope we can scramble up again but right now it feels more likely we will be a future WBA/Stoke/Swansea than a Brentford or Forest.

Pretty happy with that solid gold analysis 👌 Although it wasn't a seven window, but in the context of the final poll result mine was a low score, in the bottom 30% of responses.

It's not me crying about the governing party not putting up posts about Palm Sunday, so you tell me, your Holiness.
