@Lighthouse Because of this?

When the St Mary’s crowd sings "Southampton till I die", I'm guessing you don't join in.

And I answered that question.

Bullshit! Did you not bother reading it? The first paragraph gives a benefit of the model. Which you asked for! i.e players being attracted to moves to our sister clubs because they see it as a pathway to the Premier League. Romulo stated that the Saints connection influenced his move to Göztepe. I then explained how relegation made a move to us less likely especially when as a Championship club we aren't going to be more attractive than a move to RB Leipzig. That doesn't mean there isn't a benefit, players will still see the potential pathway to us. But if a better option like RB Leipzig is on offer it is less likely to happen.

Romulo has stated in the press part of the reason he joined Göztepe was the Southampton connection and route to the Premier League.That is a benefit of the model. Things change after relegation. Had we stayed in the Premier League we would have been on a better position to sign him. But it is delusional to think a player would turn down a move to RB Leipzig to join us in the Championship.

Why would Romulo agree to sign for us rather than RB Leipzig? It is Sport Republic, not Sports Republic.

Asking a question is not misrepresenting a position. Wibble

Nonsense. I asked a question. I made no representation of a position.

No, it isn't

So you agree on results... but results are data

You answered question I did not ask

What about results?

On what do you judge common sense? What makes a common sense appointment?

Proven by what? Data?

Would you prefer decisions made on feelings?

That isn't a good indicator of liklihood. A few people reading what Alex Crook said and placing a bet could cause that.

He has failed everywhere he has been since he left us... 13 years ago. He isn't what we need.

That isn't what odds mean or how they work @chownie20

Why complining? They got result vs one of the best academies in world football. So it worked!

We have a significantly bigger wage budget than Coventry and our managers are involved in transfer decisions. Persuading him to leave a top of the league team would be the issue, not money.

Cooper joined Brøndby in September

I'm not denying they have fucked up big time. But what is that claim of contempt for fans and zero shame based on?

The finances are not a hidden secret. They are publically available to see on the Companies House website. There is nothing overly concerning about them, apart from we'll be in trouble if we aren't promoted before the parachute payments run out at the end of the 2026/27 season.

How will we get to away games?
