How long have you got...?

Do we know why Lallana hasn't been in the match day squad since becoming player-coach...? Appreciate he's nowhere near as good as he used to be but surely he's no worse than most of the rest of the squad?

I hate to go all MLG on you but that's just telling me where he's worked, rather than what his achievements were when he was there....

Ok... I'm going to try and turn my pessimism into optimism.... Given there's a huge amount resting on Spors' shoulders to effect the turnaround, please could someone post a brief summary of Spors' achievements to-date, to help convince me that he could be the saviour that he's being touted as. Cheers. (Yes, I know any future 'success' won't be down to one man alone but, inevitably, Spors is going to be pivotal to any success nonetheless)

Genuine question: what are the optimists seeing in Sport Republic which makes them believe that they can "sort things out" when the evidence of the last 3 years clearly suggests otherwise? Don't get me wrong, I'd love to share your optimism but my logical mind is steering me towards pessimism...

I'm not *that* stupid. I'm one of those highly intellectual Mazda drivers

Why would I want to lower my IQ level to that of a cyclist just to fetch the shopping...?

If you ever have to illustrate to someone why we've gone from being better than a club like Aston Villa to exponentially worse than them in the space of a few years, just get them to read that sentence right there... 👆 #nutshell.

I'm helping to save the planet you fool!

Sainsbury's flawed "like for like" substitution policy. Twats.

Yeah, my tongue was firmly planted in my cheek

Our previous 34 matches have all been pretty pointless in all honesty....

Probably wise (for a change)...

Personally, I think MLG's faith in Sport Republic is admirable...

Yeah, sorry, I'm in a bit of facetious frame of mind this afternoon!

You may want to read the previous 7 pages before posting 'breaking news'....

"If recruitment is finally sorted out then there are no real other issues." That is, of course, correct, but there's no certainty that Spors will be the knight in shining armour that we all hope he is. After all, he's been employed by the very people that we agree are crap recruiters... Go figure... Still, if you've got faith in Spors being able to deliver then that's a reasonable stance to take.

Yes, it is fixable, but it's just as likely that they could continue to cock things up. In other words, there are risks in sticking and risks in twisting. Time will tell. Are you saying we should have faith in them being able to fix things...?

Yeah, nothing significant...

Cheers SS 👍

Help Me Rhonda

A lot of talk between whom?

What activity triggered the rumour in the first place? I'm assuming people in "financial circles" react to stuff rather than make stuff up?

Shame he never ever posts on here...
