Not in the top flight of a major European league he didn't! Spors has in both Italy and Germany, plus also in the Netherlands.

Those two points you quoted of mine are not incompatible with each other. Quite a few of the best players will probably leave, opening up the need for replacements.

I'm dictating, not typing.

It is Sport, not Sports. So I'm judging you on continuing to not even get the name correct for the company you are dismissing! Plus, Johannes Spors good track record at other clubs is completely separate from Sport Republic decisions at Saints.

Other people, not Spors. So why judge Spors on the actions of other people he had no influence over?

Evolution, the species doesn't survive if you intentionally injure yourself time after time.

4 goals in his last 9 starts is very good! His age is irrelevant to his current goal threat.

Are you not going to give Spors a chance? A completely new person making football decisions, so it is daft to write him off due to the decisions of others. Judge him on his own merits! It isn't Sports Republic, it is Sport Republic! 😉😇

Trump has a track record of 6 bankruptcies. Spors has a track record of promotions.

Do you not want them to be very busy in the window?

Why? We have a completely new person in charge of football decisions. Someone with a strong track record.

The squad will look very different. Johannes Spors has admitted he will be 'very, very busy' in the window.

Which is why they've made changes. But those changes are unable to have a major impact on the pitch until the new season.

tbf Onuachu gives them something different and has been a goal threat recently.

Higher wages than they'd get elsewhere, promotion bonuses and medals act as motivators.

They are playing him upfront... which we didn't for most of last season. He isn't a good central striker. He is effective in the Championship playing wider.

Google it

They are not playing him in his best role. He isn't a good central striker, we played him out wide mainly last season.

87 points is not a bad total. Should have been more, but in a lot of seasons it would be close to enough for automatic promotion.

2008/09 was a worse season. Sure not close in points total, but it was a relegation to the 3rd tier.

He went off injured vs Palace and did not train fully in the build-up to today's game.

If anything, I think Martin held them back in the Championship season. We should have done better. Those players aren't 'average' for the Championship. Take Armstrong for example... 2nd top scorer in the league playing on the right in most games.

Would you not be interested even if they gave us a promotion-chasing campaign?

At Premier League level, sure, but there are more potential clubs they can go to than just the Premier League.

They didn't struggle last time, so why would they next season? The struggle will come if we keep them after any new promotion.
