Still think we need a more experienced and respected manager. But Eckert has done really well and if he keeps on winning deserves to be in contention for the job.

Sports Republic have one plan and one plan only, make money. And so far we are making money from player transfers and parachute payments so plan is to get a cheap young manager and hope we can sell him for a profit too. You can view the club as one big market stall with one goal in mind. Who cares how we play or what we do. As long as we make a profit through player sales and match tickets. So when it comes down to a new manager, look at the manager with the most potential, the cheapest and young. Russell, Still, Selles and now likely Eckert, all young and except of Russell all free and likely to be on a lower wage. So low risk and if one works out and is sold to another club, bingo.

This should be on a banner for the next home games!

After what the French journalist said around the time of Still’s sacking, that we have a lot of managers in the clubs set up but none really does anything, I think bringing in another manager is a cracking idea! Go Sports Republic!

Then the club shouldn’t be giving them 100 per cent of their wages. I do miss the days of Adkins, Pochetinno, Koeman and Strachan when we had a squad of largely likeable players and I looked forward to the next game. On the exception of Scienza, Charles and a few others this squad has some absolute helmets in it.

This is a very good post and I think you’ve hit the nail firmly on the head. My believe is that Rasmus wants to have to much of a say and that Spors’s hands are tied on certain things. Makes me believe that once Spors gets an offer of another club he’s off. Like Wilcox, Shields etc. I worry that we could end up in a bad place with the club with high debt and stripped to the bone.

And if Corberan is sacked, who says he immediately wants to move here? He might think, I am still being paid and enjoy being in my home country, let’s take some time off and review my options in a few months.

Rasmus might want to read the book he wrote himself, Hunger in Paradise about successful organizations remaining successful. Might help with making Sports Republic a success. Thinking of it, if he knows so much an out successful organizations why is Sports Republic so crap? Why does he say in his Ted Talks you should consider breaking things that aren’t broken? Why does he share his high performance knowledge with IKEA, LEGO, Facebook, Google (2x even!) and others but not at Sports Republic? So many questions and no answers. Or is he just a smooth talking fraudster?

If Spors rates Eckert and thinks he has it to be a top class manager it makes sense to have him on board. But he’s inexperienced and putting him in charge could seriously damage his career. They should not forget the state of the club, the bloated squad, the player power and so on. We need an experienced manager with a strong character who won’t take shit from sulking players.

Well Nolan, it’s seems like your source might be on to something according to tweets by Blackmore. I thought it sounded to daft to be true but Sports Republic seem to be doing it all over again.

This rumour sounds like someone is trying to take the piss. I can’t imagine Spors calling a manager and saying: Sorry mate, you’ve got to wait another week before you can start. Tonda won this weekend. On the other hand, this is Sports Republic and if Rasmus and the other data dickheads think this is the way it could well happen.

I find this quite worrying the influence of Ankersen on Solak. If you add what Alfie House said on the TSP podcast along with what the French reporter wrote (that Sports Republic is a mess and some are employed but have no real job) this spells disaster. My take on this, I am not ITK, is that Ankersen likely tells Solak whats best for the club (players, coaches, strategy etc) and Solak tells the staff to do so. Like telling Spors to go hunting for young talent instead of more established players. It would explain the high turnover in staff and why loads who join the club suddenly don’t perform. Ankersen strikes me as someone who thinks he’s smarter then everyone else and uses data and AI to make decisions over common sense and experience. Likely so the reason we don’t employ a more experienced manager. Can’t see a manager who’s been around and has achieved succes come in and be told how to play or who to play. Best we can hope for is that Solak starts realizing the way the clubs going and makes some big decisions. As said above, this is pure speculation and I could be completely wrong.

Because Juan day he might be an important player for us… I’ll get my coat.

Just had a look and Martin was sacked on the 4th of oktober at Rangers. After that we draw 0-0 to Derby and lost the other games. On the TSP podcast they mention that our poor form got a lot worse in the last few weeks. Could it be that some players thought, let’s throw the towel and act like helmets, they might sack Still and Russell can come back (presumably they’ve been texting Martin and asked if he fancies coming back). Or am I making things up?

Don’t mind having a German manager. If you are reading Johannes, please can it be someone from the list below. - Jurgen Klopp - Marco Rose - Julian Nagelsmann - Adi Hutter - Hansi Flick - Roger Smidt Anyone else will have to be Saintsweb approved. Good luck 👍🏼
