Very glad it's done and players will have a clear steer off intent as early as possible. It's going to be one hell of a job to whittle all the current squad and retuning loanees down to a manageable size.

Yes you're missing that we have a unified scouting network with Spors effectively at the top and the guy from Hoffenheim coming in.

Still had a Really good away record this season, his home form not so much. 29 of the teams final tally came from away matches 23 at home.

Rasmus' isn't employing the new manager. Spors is.

"I haven't signed anything" is quite a different phrase from "I don't know what's going to happen next"

Is the focus is on Lens? then they have their final game at the weekend. Picture might be clearer then.

how much does the average employee know about how the top people who work in their company deal with their contracts or finances? he was an employee.

I think Spors' job as "Global Sports Director" probably didn't intersect with 777 Partners Lawyers or Bankers.

Such bad translating. Rohl said the Bundesliga is A top choice. "I always want to work with the best players and compete with the best coaches. The Bundesliga is, of course, a top choice. After all, I grew up with the Bundesliga. But the Premier League is also a dream. I'm currently very excited to see what happens this summer." he actually says zero about his destination just that as a manager he would one day like to work in those leagues.

It was not on the table when Sport Republic came in. It is now.

"For how long" what? It's "We'Re NoT iN tHe pREmIEr lEaGuE nExT sEaSOn", but well done for noticing. What you call "shifting around" looks like completing a reformation of strategy. Solak's very, very, very unlikely to sell with the financial potential around the stadium.

It's mad isn't it. We had people who weren't used to a group model running recruitment things. Now we have people who are used to a club model running recruitment things. Why would they do these mad things in a group model?

Thats a stretch.

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.
