I'd guess that Bazunu wouldn't extend his contract and made it clear he wanted to leave, and given his performance levels and keeper being our weakest position (subject to debate, of course), a replacement loan keeper (at presumably no additional cost and in a all likelihood a cost-saving) for 6 months and which enabled Spors to maintain his contact network in his native Germany would have been no-brainer for him? I don't particularly see it as a signing of any ambition or strategy, only an indication that they couldn't persuade Bazunu to extend (remarkably from all angles) and so didn't want to persevere further with him.

I'm intrigued to see how we use the loan market that we've cleverly kept up our sleeve for the second half of our unstoppable march towards the lower end of the Championship. After the unearthing of buried treasures Maxwell Cornet and Albert Gronbaek in the last couple of windows, we're due another exciting loan signing surely - can he help tip us towards the holy grail of SR's third relegation in four seasons?

At least he’s not Bazunu

When his eyes twitch, I think Rasmus is controlling his thoughts

Goodbye. Thank God.

I can think of at least two CBs I'd have liked to have sold before him. But understandable for all parties given his lack of playing time.

The downside of American ownership of football; overestimating the competence of football business management people

I'll save the consultant some time. Things aren't going well because the leadership, manager and players are weak-minded, incompetent and not as good as they think they are. Who do I invoice?

A predictable list of mediocre footballers and weak-minded, self indulgent moronic idiots who never learn. Can’t wait to see them all go. And good on Alfie House for having the gumption to out them as a negative force. We need a strong DofF and Manager to remodel our squad.

And those numbers don’t include his silent failure to marshall the defence and the goals that silence has contributed to, nor the goals conceded when he’s rooted to the line. 97 games, how the fuck has he played that many??!

Living the SR dream.....

I agree. Completely incapable of putting an effective management team in place and seemed to be sucked in by Ankersen and Kraft’s bullshit. He’s the most culpable of all. God knows how he built his media company.

You lucky, lucky bastard

Before I vote, is it him or Lallana?

9 points off relegation, no win in 7, rookie coach with loser back room staff? Ideal recipe for a collapse?

Really not implausible

Next cab off the rank is Lallana. The deepest of nadirs.

Manning Bazunu Eckert

Abysmal again

Our midfielders and attackers are shit too, so hopefully we can make something given we’ve got considerably more than a sow’s ear to play with

I wonder what the YTS boys are going to change at h-t

Can only assume this coaching team will be very cheap to sack when we get relegated and/or sold (fingers crossed the latter, but would probably shake on both if it meant the back of Dragan and his shit circus.

A back room team of Garner, Newton and Reeves with a novice in charge - special days

Tonda Smithers to Johannes Burns

Await SR buying a new and good defensive line, or the end of the world - whichever comes sooner. Obvs all money on the latter.
