Sport Republic will dither replacing the footbridge, then decide on a long term temporary one.

At this stage you have just (and continue to on this thread) tied yourself in knots.

"Johannes, before we rubber stamp the appointment and make the offer, can you check that Farmer Saint has signed off on it and is happy?".

Fair comment, all listed were very much in favour. If you were out of the fold then you may as well have been excommunicated. My point was more it was not a harmonious tenure, so bringing him back in wouldn't be the right solution now.

The spanner in the works of this cunning plan is that Ralph was disliked by most of the players and staff. His appointment certainly wouldn't bring people together.

It's the Sport Republic and Budget playbook - put out the worst case scenarios so the reality doesn't seem quite as bad as expected.

You think Sport Republic have a strategy? 🤣🤣

I see Manji was on earlier, wasn't he a Lowe free ticket cheerleader? Assumed he was saintsweb equivalent of the Japanese bloke in the jungle who hadn't realised the war had finished, but actually appears to be championing Sport Republic these days. Funny that.

Solak seems to get away without much criticism but he lets the same buffoons repeat the same mistakes over and over again. It's actually incredible.

How do you know he doesn't? Puerile argument.

To insinuate that there is nobody available and therefore we should go the unproven route (again) is ludicrous.

The PR machine was in full flow on Saturday with MLT rolled out as well. SR are abysmal, lurching from one self-made crisis to another.

Everything he said about man management is true. Deeply unpopular with staff and players - he "lost" the dressing room and wider support staff.

Same playbook as new signings.

We were unnecessarily bloody lucky that season too

How Solak gets such an easy ride "because he put money in" is beyond me.

Didn't he get voted off the board of his own company?

Our transfer policy is built on an obsession around re-sale value rather than a blend of buying young players for future development and the experience needed for the now.

If you told anyone he had won a competition to play today I suspect they would believe you after watching him.

We always seem to go for the "clever" option, which never actually is. The obsession with basing recruitment on re-sale potential is fucked up too. The whole club just feels disfunctional at the moment. I would personally welcome new owners with some football knowledge and ambition. Sport Republic have been a total disaster from day one.

25 you mean 😉. You must be one of the oldest posters on here I would imagine.

Tbf he got Ralph and Hoedt pretty much spot on.

Or Crohn's. Clearly the club can't release the specifics either way.

What a club

We appear to not even be shopping in Aldi. More KwikSave, which ironically I don't think George Long is capable of.
