Not a fan of Semmens but Ankersen has probably done far more damage to the football club.

'For those 100 reasons, it is with pleasure Nathan that you are fired!'

But the whole point is Ralph was done. Results had spiralled downwards so we got rid. At that point SR and, in particular Ankersen, made a monumental feck up by appointing Mad Nate. Why SR did that needs to be explained in detail by Ankersen. He should be held to account for a ridiculous decision which has only made a bad situation ten times worse.

Isn't it about time Ankersen entered the Dragan's Den? Maybe Dragan could ask him a few pointed questions about what he's done with his investment and, when he's listened to Ankersen's dodgy answers he'd say, 'For that reason Rasmus, I'm out!'

I'm not sure why SR would sack Jones today - haven't they already confirmed he is still in charge and will be or the Wolves game at least?

From where I'm sitting Ankersen is going through a fair amount of Dragan's hard-earned. When can we expect the short temper and wrath to kick in?

People like Ankersen have an inner belief that they are far more intelligent than the rest. He'll likely be arrogant enough to assume he can easily deal with/deflect questions from those with far less intelligence than himself. He'll be anticipating taking this in his stride.

If true Semmens just went up a little in my estimation.

You'd need access to Mad Nate's mind for that because it is a figment of his imagination.

Not me - I think it was Ant who got an invite.

The owners of City, Chelsea and Newcastle are helping bankroll Sky Sports and the Premier League by bringing in the biggest names in world football. They will not bite the hand that feeds them. It'll be a fine that will not even make the slightest impact on the riches of the owners. The whole thing is a charade.

Spot on.

Hope so. Depends how his algorithms are viewed by our brilliant expert when he investigates and does his data mining. We are so lucky to have a genius with a mind like a computer handling these vital decisions for us. His attention to even the minutest detail gives him an advantage over our competitors who can only look on in envy as this footballing mastermind amazes everyone with the list of potential highly credible suitors for our managerial role he produces.

The man is nothing more than a snake oil salesman.

Copies of Ankersen's books and cd's will be available in the foyer

I think he's working on the film script as we speak.

To give a different slant on that.....not many prospective managers are worse than Jones.

Yeah, imagine Ankersen has it on constant rewind of the bit where it all suddenly turns to gold for Brad Pitt and he's muttering to himself, 'this is gonna work for us, it's gonna happen for Mad Nate...it's gotta work or Dragan feeds me to the pigs'

He'll include Janny B and Bree for certain.

How about factoring in the point that the numpties tracked Jones for months, decided he was right for us and appointed him on a big salary?

Yeah and here's a formula for Ankersen; Nathan + Jones - Due Diligence = Relegation

The atmosphere between Jones and Adam Blackmore at this week's presser will be interesting.

Doubt we'll get them. It'll be lots of spin, fluff and waffle.

No need, they're still clean from the last game.

Ankersen desperate to save face and refusing to admit he's made a complete bollocks of this vital appointment. In my experience fairly typical of these types of know-it-all charlatans.
