I don't want it to happen but the knives will be out for Sports Republic if we lose this something like 3-1. They will probably be forced to give Tonda the next two after this as well and it could get very ugly.

It was a good start and he deserves some credit but the manner of the results (lets remember it's been two games, one of which he had a couple of games to do anything) is pertinent to the discussion. You could argue that QPR away was comparable to the sheffield united game in that they were two poor teams low on confidence and we managed to scrape over the line in both when we could easily have lost given how much we gave to the opposition. No one can seriously laud the sheffield wednesday performance as our most comfortable win in 18 months as if that is a big achievement. They have half a team and are forced to play their third game in a week with the same group of players because they have no alternatives. It's most likely the easiest team we have played over the last two years.

Not sure I agree. He needs to perform at least averagely well and keep us out of the relegation zone or the club will make a change. I do wonder though if he performs alright over the next week if they will announce anything or just keep him as a permanent interim.

He is a good lower league manager. He's also a proper bellend who it is almost impossible to like.

Also worth highlighting how wrong headed and messed up it is to make managerial decisions based on how a potential candidate performs over a handful of games. Tonda could miraculously win all of the next three and I still think it would be mental to make a permanent hiring decision based on that. It once again shows that Sports Republic are almost uniquely terrible at following a vision through and crafting a long term project that works.

Has Trollope officially left? I reckon either Dragan decided to bin Still and so that's why there wasn't much of a plan for an alternative or we were set to appoint GON and then were scared off by the fan reaction. I reckon either he stays if we get 5+ points from the next three or we appoint a lesser known manager from the German leagues who will play 5 at the back and do what Sports Republic want. Either way I don't think the fans will be happy.

If that were completely true you won't feel even a flicker of anger if Charlton score the winner in the 96th minute and Jones knee slides in front of the away fans and prostrates himself whilst his players bow in front of him. Even the most placid or checked out of saints fans couldn't help but be affected by that.

Still don't understand why the Democrats didn't release them when they were in power. Probably didn't want to implicate too many figures from their side. Loads of them were at it the dirty bastards.

IMO it's very obvious that loads of high profile figures including Trump were up to no good with Epstein. He supplied them with young beautiful women who agree to sleep with them on demand in exchange for a lavish lifestyle with no strings attached. That's going to be attractive to a whole host of high profile people. Like you say, I don't think it's going to change much of anything really, he's certainly not going to resign or anything like that and will just deny it happened. The only thing that would be a game changer would be if they had video but I reckon that would have been leaked by now if they had.

Lets be honest he was never worth 40 million. I never thought he was even in the summer. Given how much money we have wasted, that extra bit of money could prove vital.

They don't want to commit because if they publicly give him the job it's going to look even more embarrassing for them if he loses two out of the next three games and they would have to walk it back. This way if he does badly over the next three games they can demote him back to the u21s and pretend this was always the plan all along.

Phillip Clement looks like he's going to Norwich. Looks like quite a promising appointment on the face of it.

You make a good point. Eventually one of Sports Republic's risky gambles is going to pay off and they will be able to live off it forever. I reckon at least another three or four risky gambles before that happens though.

I think you need to be more specific. "a lot of the content" makes it difficult to understand what you're saying.

I reckon they always wanted to go and we wanted them to .

Why would both players want to stay and then independently be desperate to leave?

Genuinely I missed those bits. Which posts specifically? I saw one moved from a different thread about ending up with an lgbtq manager which I thought was a bit of an odd comment. I expect it's because some of the people on the fan board appear to be lgbtq themselves or have stated that their priorities are that sort of thing.

Wonder if Dragan wanted the cash.

Apologies I meant Rayner

Fuck I messed up. I meant Rayner.

Who will the left be supporting? They won't be going for Streeting or Mahmood.

It all depends on if Labour can deliver. If they actually do something meaningful here and don't get stopped by the left of their party then they could do something. If they fail to show meaningful change before the next election then no one who wants immigration control is going to vote for labours version when the real thing is available to vote for.

I expect if the Labour Party members have their way she'd be high up the list.

Cheers. You do wonder how much leaving was his idea in the summer. Almost impossible to turn down 40 million but I do feel for the lad if hisncondition is holding him back and preventing him from performing, particularly because there isn't really any going back. Football can be quite brutal at times.

Big play from labour. This is pretty much their only chance to win the next election. If they can significantly bring down immigration and get rid of some of the ones here then they have a small chance. If the likes of Reeves succeeds in replacing Starmer then it's all cancelled and they will implode.
