Whilst Göztepe's form has slipped slightly, they are still around 8th in the Turkish top tier. Ankersson is in charge over there.

Yes, its over simplified, but it's designed to be over simplified. A lot of people don't realise how Ankerssons role has diminished. The structure in place now, is very different to how it was in January.

I think people again are missing the changes that have occurred. The hierarchy was Money man: Dragan Solak Sport Republic: Ankersson/Kraft Saints Chairman: Kraft Recruiting: Parsons The hierarchy now is Owner: Dragan Solak Sport Republic: Ankersson Saints Chairman: Dragan Solak Recruiting: Spors Dragans new position is specifically to protect his investment. People do not make the money that he has, and not be astute with what is necessary. Juric was appointed before Spors came in, and we are yet to see his ideas on action.

How lovely it must be to go through life unaware of Reading or Sheffield Wednesdays owners.

If multiple clubs were in the Market for the same manager, would rumours of a sale sway the manager either way? just putting it out there that its not unfeasible that the rumours could be a stitch up job.

How on earth would that work? we have shared functions with Goztepe and Valencienes. Would we lose the scouting Network or would the French and Turkish clubs?

I don't agree, Spors said back in his interviews in March it was his job to keep up to date with current and emerging managers.

He looks to have played Charles as a Centre Back yesterday, so you might want to revise that percentage down a bit.

Specifically in the Premier League season, he was taking about.

December 15th: April 7th: Rickie Lambert had an interesting anecdote during the Sports Hour on Radio Solent. Said the wins started coming under Adkins when the players specifically ignored a specific aspect of Adkins' tactics. Said that Lallana was a powerful voice who knew his mind and that it was likely in the remaining games that we'll see the players who have the workrate that he sees acceptable. Found it interesting that he was specifically included in the announcement this time, compared to December and think it could be a very different 7 games with Lallana's involvement.

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.

The money man has already moved aside Ankersson and Kraft. We have to see what happens when Spors and Solak are making the decisions.

Ankersson and Kraft obviously talked a very good game to Solak, but ultimately Solak has inserted himself at the top of the Club, undercutting Sport Republic to protect his money. Since Dragon Solak took over chairmanship in The middle of January and Spors came in later there has been no chance to make changes. Today, I think it's their first real opportunity. Put a caretaker in for Seven games, sign a manager on a pre contract and give fans some hope of seeing good football next season.

Nice 3 points away from home.... This form very much reminds me of Saints last year
