Can they not focus on getting the existing portfolio of clubs in a good place first? Run before you can walk. Utter clowns.

So, the planned sit-down with the local media didn't happen over this international break then. Alfie House at the Echo previously confirmed it was "pegged in" to happen during this international break.

Yup, course it is, it's not worth anything as yet; didn't JJM agree a pro deal at that age, and still turned it down when he officially turned 17 and buggered off to Chelsea.

He'll go the same way as Ballard.

Excellent. Maybe SR can sell us on and put more focus on the club they can seemingly get right.

There's no point in gunning for Still. No point at all. All Sport Republic will do is appont another shit manager and the cycle will continue. We have to start turning on the ownership. They're the clowns making these decisions. They're the clowns ruining our club. They're the clowns who have got us in this mess, and they're the clowns who show no signs of improvement. And yet, bar a few passing comments, they get no heat at all. Complete charlatans who have ruined this club

How's he wormed himself ahead of Archer & Robinson, then? I'd be fuming if I was either of those 2

Simple as the fact that Downs is preferred. No injury.

SR in a nutshell; spend money to their credit, but on what? They make us worse every fucking window.

I always laugh at this rewriting of history. With Stephens in the side, we went unbeaten for the first 5 games of the season. He got injured. We then got tonked every game and lost 4 games in a row after that. Amazing considering his injury was meant to make us improve. Yes, we then went on a 25 game unbeaten run without him in the side. However what people don't remember was Stephens did play a big part of the 2nd half of that run, so not sure why there's this narrative that Stephens getting injured made us improve. But then again, not like saints fans to rewrite history based on their own agendas.

He fell out with Stephens & Bednarek as well.

Except he is still captain, regardless of whether he plays or not ...

Seems to be the newest whipping boy, particularly with Stephens, Bazunu, THB & Smallbone not in the side or elsewhere yesterday.

You didn't really need to mention strikers to be honest, and you'd still be right..They've failed in everything since day one.

I mean, the fact that the choice is between Bazunu & McCarthy is absurd, and yet another damnijg indictment of yet another piss poor transfer window where we absolutely should've bought a new keeper.

What on earth has that poor club done to have SR associated with it?

No, i dont think they care about how we play. They look at value, and whether our overlords at SR can make a good profit. Which still begs the question as to what they saw to sign Downs?

It's like getting a worse version of Sekou Mara, which is impressive considering how bad Mara was.

As opposed to going up and getting walloped every week again? Is there a decent solution here? 🤣

This whole 'Rohl was the brains behind Ralph' myth gets me every time. Absolute load of hogwash.

Our fanbase is too passive for any real protests sadly. Long gone are the days of "Swing Lowe" and marches through the city.

No, Spors is just the latest in a long line of inpetitude and shite. SR have been a shit show from day 1.

Not been a huge fan of Austin, but he pretty much nailed it regarding Saints.

Been a regular for a while I think, but obviously now the away fans are sat near him, he's getting more prominence.

No Quarshie or Downs in the squad.
