It all adds up.

So why does he wear gloves? Surely they are part of a goalkeeper's kit.

His role is to sign players that SR may make a profit on. He's not there to build a side that could mount a promotion challenge. It's all about turning a profit.

I think you are right - another stupid tactic we seem to have adopted. Never seen a zone score a goal - unmarked players, yeah, plenty.

This lot are nothing more than a second rate stocks and shares trading company always looking to buy low and sell high. Trouble is they have about as much idea as Nick Leeson. They clearly have no desire to have us challenging for a tilt at promotion because that would mean buying players who increase in value and not cashing in at the first available transfer window. Their game is player trading for profit - nothing more, nothing less so we may as well get used to it.

He's pretty average from what I've seen so far - he's not the tallest so not great in the air and he's slow as treacle.

I see what you did there 🙂

Yeah, that would be interesting. It won't be peanuts that's for sure although peanuts are more than they deserve.

And only if he plays with 3 centre backs.

There cannot be another industry where an owner consortium can preside over a continual downward spiral that means not a single customer is satisfied or has a good word to say about them yet can carry on as though everything is fine.

Like the players who were too scared to face the fans yesterday he's a coward who is quite happy to take the plaudits when things are going well but turns into a timid mouse when the chips are down.

Yeah, Rasmus Ankersen.

Listen nothing the chump who presided over the introduction of SR does is commendable - he loses any credit he had in the bank for that one catastrophic decision. Shame he doesn't lose any money he had in the bank which I'm assuming increased quite substantially when he effectively sold our beloved football club down the river and left us up shit creek without a paddle. Semmens has much to answer for.

Well we may well have to take relegation to League One but unfortunately SR are going nowhere.

This is where it all falls apart for us.

Here's a question - how can a Championship team who train regularly and receive coaching from 'experts' have 8 or 9 players defending in their penalty area yet not one of them is marking an opponent? If anyone has a sensible answer I'd love to hear it. Baffling.

Presume the poor wee lambs have been rewarded with a day off in the warm today after their sterling efforts in the baltic North East yesterday. Well deserved. Meanwhile those earning way less who travelled to support said wee lambs will have got home late yesterday then had to haul themselves from their beds early this morning in freezing temperatures to earn a crust. Doesn't seem right somehow.

I think he recovered once he got over the initial shock of realising that his number being held aloft meant he had to set foot onto the place where it always goes horribly wrong for him.

Things even he, in his wildest dreams, didn't expect to ever be said in the same sentence...."Ben Garner headhunted". You really couldn't make it up. We have a young manager floundering and clearly out of his depth so some bright spark (Ankersen?) decides it would be a clever idea to give him some help in the form of no-mark Ben Fucking Garner - yes that is his middle name 🙂

Trouble is they'll just bring in another manager who is forced to play 3 at the back. Seems the only way to break this cycle is to get SR out which is obviously easier said than done.

No thanks - he's another 3 at the back merchant. Willcocks has really made a difference to Utd 🙂 Another charlatan.

Is Leo an example of Ankersen's 'if it aint broken break it' strategy?

We'll be fine once Garner gets cracking. Not sure how we managed to secure his services - with his track record every top club throughout Europe must have been banging down his door. Was this another Ankersen masterstroke? It's got his fingerprints all over it.

Phil Giles was the brains behind Brentford. Ankersen was his tea boy.
