Sport Republic

[Wade Garrett]

It will be a great day for the club when these fucking clueless cunts sell up.

Dragan is a fucking idiot, and that permeates all the way down.  Fucking amateurs, spunking money left, right and centre.

[Willo of Whiteley]

They can leave now.

The shit against them has got to ramp up, we can't allow them to think that their propaganda nonsense has appeased us.

They were out to chat to the press when we won 5 out of 6, but are silent at all other times. It shows you all you need to know about them.

Have been appalling owners since their stance On Ralph… ie, from Day 1 almost

It’s clear the trajectory that we are on. 
 

And it isn’t upward. Terminal decline under these chumps. 
 

Looking like we’ll be back in league one again within 3-5 years. They get every big footballing decision wrong.

Absolutely guarantee the next time we leave the championship under these owners, it will be to league one. And once there we will just conform to mediocrity too and settle ourselves into a cosy mid table position. Thats how bad these owners are, not a clue how to run an actual big football club and not the other noddy clubs they own. Treating Saints as a little experiment. Makes me sick 

[Willo of Whiteley]

Unless people stop going the rot will happen. 
It’s not difficult.

[saintant]

Get them gone. They have been a disaster since day one and not one of them knows what he's doing. Martin Semmens takes most of the blame for bringing in these charlatans. Presume he was very well rewarded for making that mad decision.

Are you organising it?

[Katalinic]

They need to go. The poor decisions repeated again and again, the money they have wasted, the lack of dealing with the blindingly obvious weaknesses on the pitch, the seeming need to try to re-invent football, the propaganda that we should be delighted when we get good fees for young talent - it is a catalogue of failure and I'm not sure many on here have any confidence in it changing.

If it was ever going to get better under Sport Republic Solak would have made decisive strategic decisions in May 2023 after the first relegation debacle. Removing Kraft and Ankersen from the club and appointing proper advisors and staff, most importantly a credible football manager to cull and rebuild the squad. Instead its been a drain circling pattern of negligence, insincere apology, and timid failure.  The main architects of this are Solak and Ankerson who act like a pantomime oligarch and his indulged idiot son. It beggars belief that the owner is still listening to this fucking cretin, who was sussed out as a charlatan by the supporters weeks after the takeover by a simple fucking google search.  I can’t see any viable route to redemption for Sport Republic from here, last throw of dice was the replacement of Still with a football manager and a surgical January window -we are getting neither! 

[Jack]

Reckon we’ll struggle at Birmingham then it’ll get toxic again at home against Millwall on NYD. The fanbase needs to fully get behind a movement to get rid of these jokers. The decline from Premier League stability to mid table Championship mediocrity has been achieved in double quick time under their watch, and they think that doubling down on their clever decisions that got us here are going to get us out of it. Hate them

I’ll put up £1000 towards it if the finale is a kamikaze dive which takes out the directors box and our bench! 

[SouSaint]

Its just groundhog day with these cunts. 

We will finish somewhere between 8th-14th and the manager will pay the price. Those clowns at Solent and the Daily Echo will be invited out to do their propaganda piece in the summer and we will have folk on here say that they deserve a chance to fix the mess because they've admitted mistakes. 

We will be a League One club under these cunts. They need to fuck off ASAP. 

The toxicity will ramp up once Pompey batter us next month. 

[SaintsRoyalty]

Maybe I’m wrong but I wonder how much Dragon actually knows about what goes on at the club. Obviously he can see the scores and the relegation, but it looks like he just flies in for the odd game and I doubt he is kept in the loop on much. Some might say that’s his fault but anyone that’s worked in business knows that even the leadership team hears very little about what’s going on day in day out and much less the ownership. Why hire a leadership team if you’re going to still be fully involved. Yes he hired the leadership team but telecoms bods might know telecoms but that doesn’t mean they have the first clue about football.

The real failure here lies with the other idiots who are apparently experienced in football with their previous involvement with Brentford. As we now know, Brentford’s success had little to do with them. Kraft is gone leaving just Ankerson. I’m torn between holding him up as the villain or whether he’s the new Erick Black and a fall guy. He also appears rarely at games.

There are two key questions to be asked. What is Ankerson’s role nowadays and is 5 at the back a Sport Republic must and forced upon managers. The issue is we have soft shit local journalists. Blackmore to his credit sometimes asks probing questions and let’s not forget he works for the BBC which is going to be a bind for any reporter especially when it’s a cushy gig. Alfie House on the other hand has absolutely no excuse for being the drip he is. He works for an absolute rag where any other gig is going to be a step up and the club are unlikely to ban the local paper. He literally has nothing to lose and everything to gain from being a diligent and tough asking journalist if he wants to make a name as a young journalist. He met with Dragon recently and could have told him some home truths that perhaps Dragon wasn’t aware of but of course he just behaved like the yes man he is. He couldn’t even bring himself to call out Bazunu during the Oxford game despite clearly wanting to in the fear he would be criticised for calling out statistically the worse keeper in the country for 4 seasons. If he self proclaims his fear of doing something simple like that what hope have we got of things changing. Again, it’s us placid fans that let the likes of Alfie House be our mouthpiece to the club. We should be getting the guy out of the job.

There seems to be this bizarre need for validation of bad decisions by doubling down and repeating them with these wankers.

3 at the back, not working, we can’t be wrong, keep doing it.

Young inexperienced manager appointment doesn’t work, can’t be wrong, get another even less experienced one.

Keeper decent with his feet but utter shit at everything else he needs to be good at, we’ve decided the feet thing is most important, can’t be wrong, keep playing him.

Ridiculous.

Utterly sick and tired of these tards and their wonderful brand of boring, pointless  "football" .
