yep, correct, kicked out of the French cup on 1st round by an N3 team; better laugh than cry at this point; this club has become a joke.

unable to compete against National 3 team IC Croix ?!

Exactly; We had the same situation with Ben Chorley as sporting director for Valenciennes. For 2 years he was living alone in Valenciennes while his family remained in London. We went down the 1st year and had a terrible run in National the following year.

SR performance on the pitch is as dreadful as their website that has not seen an update since May 2024... I am eager to see their financial results for 2024/2025.

isn't the real issue the hiring of Johannes Spors ? I find it ironic that the only "successful" club in SR's experiment is Gotzepe, directed by Rasmus Ankersen...

How about a Chairman that actually gives a crap about the club to start with ? Dirk Gerkens lives in Dubai; he is not at the club on a daily basis to shake things up when needs be. This is unreal, SR are just a bunch of morons flying blind. Makes me miss the previous owner, at least we were in Ligue 2.

Are you serious ? has-been retired players and Monstrogoths running like chickens with their heads cut off; This team is going nowhere but down. Budgets: Saint Brieuc = ~1.5M, VAFC = ~11.5M Are you freaking kidding me ? But worse of all: no work ethic. is SR out yet ?

Playing sterile possession football, with hasbeen and unskilled golgoths...while Rouen brought danger with 3 to 4 passes and was far more effective the entire game; this coach is another Russell Martin wannabe. Hopefully we will miss promotion to force SR to get the F out and end the pain.

I can't believe you guys are thinking of buying this turd. Average Ligue 2 player at best; never raised his level up to be a Ligue 1 starting eleven. RC Lens' fans are happy to see him go.

Yep, I am ready for another shite season in National under SR leadership.

"The best CB in the world", according to Ben Chorley (April 2024) is now heading back to France. 5M Euros ? All that for that... https://www.southamptonfc.com/en/news/article/kayi-sanda-heads-out-on-loan

VAFC is fulfilling SR's farming club strategy; Joachim Kayi Sanda was the first, leaving to SFC 6 months ago; now Souleymane Basse is heading to Gotzepe. https://le11hdf-fr.translate.goog/vafc-mercato-souleymane-basse-sur-le-depart/?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-US&_x_tr_pto=wapp

I'd give Matthew Le God a Devil's advocate award, nobody beats him.

No, it's because of our metric system...

Thank you Captain Obvious ! having an epiphany eh?😀

Well, VAFC is just SFC's farm team, so it is a promotion I say.

Please do the switch! Add some soy sauce, and it will be the best meal ever! Far better that the crap we got served at our stadium all season long.

Not really, just accepting the sad reality that my team will forever be a sidekick club casted in the shadow of the alpha team. I've come to term with the reality of today's football business model getting me more and more longing for the good old days of pre-Bosman ruling as time goes by.

Frisson is a very smart person, He is going to move up the ladder quickly and end up in SFC headquarter within 2 years. It would work out very well with Will Still me think.

ya think ? 2 years in, a complete U-turn already and one new coach every 6 months ? Do SR know what the hell they are doing ? The American people want to know.

If you have an open position for Blamer in Chief then I am open to it.

What do you attribute that to ? What I don't understand reading some other threads on this forum is youngsters from Southampton turning to other clubs instead of SFC w/ people blaming the shitshow on the pitch as a reason. Would have been unheard of 20 years ago ?

Hell yeah! awesome write-up; better than what we get on the club official website ! I do hope that @Convict Colony hires you as chief reporter for the club when he gets in charge of the business.

We were sold a project where all would be centralized in SR headquarter for scouting, player analysis and all the good stuffs for efficiency and a more scientific approach to recruitment. B Chorley explained all that in his interview from April 2024. Now that this has failed, we are doing a 180 degree turn around to the old way, with frenchyfying the club, local scouting and sporting director; It remains to be seen how Spors is going to glue everything together for a cohesive approach for SR long term. Why does Rasmus still have a job ?

enjoy!
