Dark Munster

It seems he was gullible enough to have teamed up with that snake oil salesman Ankersen. Just one look at his website should've been enough to scream out to him that he's a complete chancer and fraud. How have Brentford done since he's left? Very well, thank you. At the very least last year's shit show should've dispelled any doubts about Ankersen's credentials as a complete loser. But here we are, with yet another disastrous hipster manager appointment, with Wilcox seemingly his yes man there to now take the blame. Over to you Dragan.

That applies to Ankersen (even more so).

That's putting the cart before the horse. It's hard for players to be motivated when their manager is a clueless muppet with the tactics of an under-6-year-olds coach. * Apologies to any under-6-year-olds coaches reading this.

Not for us.

Not really. Not quite at the Nathan Jones level yet, but he's working on it. Certainly his football has reached that point. And don't forget Jones and Selles had PL opposition, whereas now we're being outplayed by mediocre to crap teams.

Absolutely, we should have been pushing for automatic promotion. Not at the very least making the playoffs is criminal. Flirting with relegation is beyond description, fit for a judge to wear a black cap. I've never been so furious about what Ankersen and his SR clowns have done to our club. Dragan ought to be too, and I'd be furious with him too if it wasn't his money they are pissing down the drain. I wonder when P*rtsm**th will give Rasmus W. Ankersen the keys to their city?

Wilcoxisms: “Russell has shown fantastic qualities in his managerial career so far and is someone who we believe will thrive in the great environment we have here at Southampton." “Russel is a fantastic fit for what we are trying to achieve, with a strong record of developing and nurturing young, talented players to fulfill their potential and deliver results on the pitch." “We can’t wait for Russell to get started working with the team at Staplewood as we get ready for the new season.” "We've got a strong stable of goalkeepers here." He's either as clueless as Rasmus W. Ankersen, or his toady (possibly both).

If this is true then it confirms what many have suspected, this disaster of a manager is yet another Rasmus W. Ankersen selection. No way JW would’ve had a major part of the choice 6 months before his hiring. But when RM was rolled out Ankersen was hiding in the shadows, letting Kraft and JW make all the press adulations about the signing. Classic plausible deniability move, based on his previous two awful choices, by that preening, self idolising, smug, charlatan bastard.

A blind squirrel finds a nut occasionally. Also I haven't looked at those fixtures, but how many were against teams on the beach? He's a disaster, his tactics and team set up are beyond pathetic. But yes, there is something deeper that is wrong at this club. His name is Rasmus W. Ankersen.

Where's my hammer?

Apparently. Thanks mods.

I do. https://trainingground.guru/articles/rasmus-ankersen-why-football-clubs-should-embrace-failure

Mods, where's the poll gone?

I heard he's very popular in P*rtsm**th.

Yes indeed, if they are given the chance. But Dragan is the boss. Yes, he probably knows next to nothing about football, but he surely it has dawned on him that SR are beyond incompetent. If he has any business sense he'll drag JW into his office, tell him to get a list of potential new managers from Ankersen. Then tell him not to hire anyone from that list, and instead hire a committee of football experts to come up with a short list of experienced managers who they can hire on a rolling one-year contract. No more hipsters and losers.

This is what Wilcox said about RM on his appointment: “Russell has shown fantastic qualities in his managerial career so far and is someone who we believe will thrive in the great environment we have here at Southampton. “He is a fantastic fit for what we are trying to achieve, with a strong record of developing and nurturing young, talented players to fulfil their potential and deliver results on the pitch. “We can’t wait for Russell to get started working with the team at Staplewood as we get ready for the new season.” So either JW is as clueless as Ankersen, Kraft and the rest of the SR clowns (who are the ones who chose Wilcox, BTW), or toes the party line and is a bullshitter. Either way, it looks like we are in deep shit if we are relying on JW to help us get out of this mess.

Yes, an experienced manager who knows the f*cking basics, caretaker or on a rolling one year contract.

This arsehole is the mastermind behind all of it. A complete charlatan and fraud. A legend in his own mind. https://trainingground.guru/articles/rasmus-ankersen-why-football-clubs-should-embrace-failure

He also needs to do the same with Rasmus W. Ankersen and the rest of the SR clowns.

Sorry, I can't wait any longer for this.

Unfortunately not, it's pick by that plonker Martin.

Stop it, you're giving me a glimmer of hope!

Shocking. So the question is, how long is Dragan going to put up with this? It's his money they are pissing down the drain for unmitigated disastrous results.

Oh shit, don't give ideas to Ankersen.
