SR/Ankersen reportedly had been tracking Jones and Martin for a long time before hiring them. So taking time appparently doesn’t help when you’re incompetent buffoons.

Couple of things I believe. Firstly, I assume they are good friends - Ankersen was the co-founder of Sport Republic and sold it to Dragan. Then there's the sunk cost fallacy, after investing so much with that smooth talking charlatan it's very difficult for him to tear it all up and start from scratch. Especially as he (Dragan) knows the square root of f*ck all about football.

I agree it's speculation, but all the evidence indicates that you are 100% correct.

Shit. This is what I suspected (and feared) for a long time, while others have been saying Rasmus is not involved any more. Bullshit. So many appalling decisions have his fingerprints all over them. And as for Dragan, when he said at the end of last season's disaster that people at the club had let him down I thought he included Ankersen in that group. But apparently not. He can't see that that wanker is the ringleader of the clowns, FFS. Dragan's a f*cking idiot.

Me too. Sad news. RIP Andrew.

He did that bloody knee slide celebration. I don't mind if our crap players do it, but not our good ones who risk injury. Downs can do a 20 yard slide for all I care if he scores.

I don't think he ever left. Just hiding behind the scenes, but still pulling the strings.

The entire SR hierarchy know nothing about football, but at least all but one of them don't really pretend to. Rasmus "Mr Football" Ankersen is the "brains" of that clown troupe who thinks he's a genius because he once recommended a compatriot for Brentford assistant coach (who knows, maybe someone back home passed that name on to him), who later turned out to be a very good manager. His record here with his disastrous choices shows he was lucky once. And he was the one fighting to keep his failures (Jones and Martin) even when the rest of the SR idiots knew they were out of their depth. I'm sure he had a big say in choosing Will Still. Also apparently we were tracking Downs before Spors arrived - if so, guess whose genius choice that was.

Surely this puts to bed the myth that that bastard is not involved and only working in Turkey. Spors may be the front man, but Ankersen's titanic sized ego won't let him sit back and let others run the show. He's a cancer on our club and needs to be surgically removed.

Could you give a link to that interview? Maybe he was diplomatically saying he didn’t want him sacked in the sense he didn’t want the club to be in such shit. I remember just before the sacking him being furious and kicking chairs over. 5-0 at half time against Spurs with the players completely giving up was the final straw. Then of course ending up with the humiliating 12 points. I find it hard to believe Dragan wants that wanker back. Rasmus yes, Dragan no.

Downs. Still. Shoehorn contract extension. No CF we've been crying out for (relying on Stewart to remain fit - sheer lunacy). That Norwich third rate GK, instead of bringing in an experienced number 1 (on loan if necessary). Spors can f*ck off, along with Still, Nivea and the rest of the coaching clowns. And Dragan needs to talk to someone who actually knows about football to recommend a Spors replacement. And while he's at it, completely neuter Ankersen if he can't get rid of him.

Saggy. W. Still running him a very close second, though.

Fans leaving early. Disgraceful. They should wait until the final whistle to join in the booing.

That would be mind boggling idiotic, stupid, moronic and beyond incompetent. So yes, you're probably correct.

Reports are that the club had been monitoring Downs for some time, before Spors arrived. Just like Ankersen did with his genius choice of Nathan Jones.

Apart from Downs as you mention (a total disaster), not bringing in a strong experienced CF, a useless Norwich reject GK instead of a solid experienced one (on loan if necessary) as an upgrade on the crap ones we have, Shoehorn's extension, and the cherry on top of that pile of shit, Will Bloody Stills. Now I've long suspected that cancer on our club Ankersen has been behind many, if not all, those disastrous decisions, and from reading what @trousers transcribed above it looks like it well be true.

Ankersen owns shares (not as many as Dragan, but an owner nonetheless). Otherwise you'd have thought Dragan would've told him to f*ck off after his second relegation. In short, Ankersen is a disgusting turd that can't easily be flushed. If I were the Skate mayor (shudder) I'd consider giving Ankersen the keys to their (decrepit) city and building a statue in his honour for the damage he's done to the "scummers".

Has he though? Wasn't he in charge of selling players this summer? And all the Spors cock ups, Will Still, Downs, no new gk, Shoehorn extension, etc. are classic Rasmuseque-type disastrous decisions. He is partial owner, so he may be pulling strings behind Dragan's back and Spors has no choice but to follow him. Not that Spors is off the hook, he needs to clear his desk tomorrow.

Mission accomplished.

What do you plan to tell Alfie?

Not with the current clown as manager.

I'm definitely there with Rasmus W. Ankersen. Actually, I've been there since he masterminded the first SR relegation.

When first hired, he was a glimmer of hope after years of SR/Ankersen disastrous incompetence. All hope has been shattered. He is either as stupid and clueless as Ankersen, or is a puppet with Ankersen pulling the strings behind Dragan's back. Either way, we are f*cked.
