Recruitment overhaul...

You are being generous to call the journalists! 😉

Bullshit. If a club wants a specific style (e.g., possession-based, high pressing, counter-attacking), it often looks to hire a manager who has a proven record of delivering that style. Hiring a manager without considering their tactical identity creates a disconnect, you can’t expect a defensive-minded manager to produce attacking, free-flowing football just because the board says so. Therefore, choosing a manager is a recruitment decision and a strategic football decision rolled into one. They are intertwined and it is not unreasonable to use a shorthand of recruitment as an overarching description.

They are intertwined and can't have one without impacting the other. It is a recruitment strategy that led us to MartinBall.

It is a strategic recruitment decision. They are intertwined.

A recruitment strategy decision... is a recruitment decision!

Bullshit. Deciding what type of manager and style of play you want is a recruitment decision. So I'll ask again... what did I say was wrong?

That comes under manager recruitment decisions!

I don't think we should take Football Insider stories seriously.

All of that is recruitment. Which I said was the problem! So you haven't named anything I said that is wrong.

He was in no danger of not being paid. He is a contracted Southampton employee. His wages are paid by Saints. Sheffield Wednesday pay Saints a fee for loaning him plus a % of the wage amount. But Sheffield Wednesday not paying their players does not impact Charles getting paid by Saints.

Not... biting!

Strawman fallacy. That does not counter anything I said. I asked what was wrong with what my post said.

Can't name anything then!

What is wrong with it?

Read the rest of it rather than highlight one sentence out of context.

I didn't say it wasn't important. But that is a lot easier to fix than having owners that do not invest and don't care for the club. Neither of which we have evidence for about Sport Republic.

Countless player/staff recruitment disasters, but now new person in charge of that and he shouldn't be tainted with mistakes of others. They invest money into the club and heart appears to be in the right place. If recruitment is finally sorted out then there are no real other issues. Other clubs have much bigger issues with owners than something fixable like recruitment.

It is frustrating of course, but fixable. At least SR appear to care for the club and invest money into it. Very different to having owners that don't care and do not invest. Or even take money out of the club.

Only thing they've really done wrong is recruitment of managers and players. That is fixable. At least Sport Republic appear to have club's interest at heart and have been investing money into the club. As far as things to be unhappy with owners for we do not have it too bad. Sure, recruitment has been a shambles, but they have tried to fix it this summer.

Sounds of the 70s!

Money is not the issue. We have spent £260m+ in the last two Premier League seasons. The issue is what that money was spent on! Spending the money in a better way can be fixed... hopefully.

Selling now when the club value drops due to relegation would be a strange time and makes little sense. They'd be better off waiting to see if they can quickly return to the Premier League and value return to the club value. A sale now would sell them make a loss on all the money put into the club. Plus as the club is the keystone club of the group, the group falls apart without Saints. The club have denied it according to the Echo.

A) Some people claim that those scriptures are evidence for their belief. So by questioning it I'm questioning the evidence. That makes it a discussion trying to identify the validity of the evidence claims. B) Strawman fallacy. I did not ask why I can't ask hypothetical questions. A question about if the actions in a story were justified or not is not hypothetical regardless of it being fiction or non fiction. The question was about the word for word actions in a story, there is no hypothetical element to the question. C) If the death of those babies, fictional or not were not justifiable then it is a flaw on any claim of a loving, fair and just God as described in scripture.

Try answering the actual question.
