I genuinely assumed that the NJ debacle would see the forced cessation of little Rasmus Ankersen's soccerball work experience programme, with Solak and Kraft closing ranks. Not so sure given the current jungle drums, but early days perhaps. Worst case scenario would be the uber-narcissist Ankersen pressing ahead with his data-advised choice and Wilcox deciding he wont be moving south after all.

A controversial opinion...

I like what I've seen of McKenna, team plays good attacking football, and comes over as a serious and studious football manager. Better than the other 'up and coming' prospects mentioned IMO and In many ways reminds me of David Moyes when he was breaking through, and we (Rampart Lowe that is) should have got him.

On recent form I wouldn't trust them to run a hotdog stand. Ankersen would probably install a fruitarian to run it and insist it focussed all resources on wheatgrass smoothies.

Christ, reading this thread it is genuinely starting to feel like deju vu with the prelude to the fittest man in the world. I know the majority on here take the piss out of Ankersen but if he is driving this appointment, as he was with Jones, you have to feel for his mental health and the health of our club on the back of it.

Late surge from smokin’ Joe Aribo, finally seeing some pace!

This is the article sellotaped to Rasmus's headboard: https://www.theguardian.com/football/2018/nov/23/russell-martin-footballer-joined-green-party-walsall

At that time the Winks links were terrifying as he was bona fide shite, but on balance I now wish we had gone for him rather than Ainsley.

Don’t like the sound of this, given the malaise at SFC we need paleo diet, Referendum party, diabolist and personality disorder on the CV as a starting point.

Another vote for smokin’ Joe Aribo.

Thank goodness WG, I've been having sleepless nights

The Danish bell will likely have it linked to his Tinder spreadsheets.

Agree with this with the grating escape of the Boscombe bucket rattlers.

For the record I would be happy with Viera, and think we might be a good fit for him in a way that Palace weren't. If he emulates any of our former 'top player' managers of the last 20 years (all of whom had skidmarks on their CVs prior to joining Saints) we will be competitive in the Championship very quickly. Authority and the motivation of talented youngsters wont be a problem for PV.

No, Spurt Republic will negotiate the usual compensation package of £3m.

Jenny will be our ‘fan on the board’ - Rasmus has done the metrics…

Define and refine experience…

My money is on Joe Shields!

ABBA with Frida post op?

My basic preference in terms of advice on experience, presence, and gravitas (in case Marty or Ras are keeping tabs from the Green Mile) is to not go for a person that sounds and looks like they would sell you a hotdog at a travelling funfair which causes food poisoning whilst short-changing you. Also, avoid promoting the fashionista head of the post room to CEO because he’s liked by the typing pool and reception staff.

This. Essentially it needs to be a credible appointment, with gravitas and authority - presence. Attributes you look for in the focal figurehead in any complex organisation that’s serious about being / remaining competitive. Hopefully Wilcox is more adept at talent spotting than the mediocrity collective on the Board.

Wait until the hairless chimps develop opposable thumbs, they’ll be no stopping them.

Rather like saying Rolf Harris is not on TV anymore.

To be fair he bleeds red and white, and blue and white, and green and white…😂

He’ll get us to their level eventually.
