Sport Republic

[CanadaSaint]

To “Yankee Doodle”:

Sports Republic came to town with a lot of money
Trouble is they brought a clown who’s not remotely funny

The Rasmus plan was “pass the ball” - even when it’s crazy
Right to left and left to right until our vision’s hazy

Coaches came and coaches went - each one a disaster
Doesn’t matter what we spend if we won’t move it faster

Dragan’s money’s going fast, crowds are headed down
His only choice is grow some balls and ditch that fucking clown

[Willo of Whiteley]

The sale of Ronnie Edward’s signals another classic Sport Republic signing.

How many have joined and left the club (or have been loaned out) since SR took over?

Onuachu, Edwards, Orsic, Ramsdale, Bree, Sulemana, Edozie, Downs, Bazunu, Lavia, Larios….

There is some wasted money there.

Lots of chants against them today 👀

These need to continue and be ramped up now during matches. They’re stinking the club out in a big way and things are only going to get worse the longer they’re here. Irreparable damage is looming if they’re in charge for a few more years

Stumbled across this.

How times have changed.

Just saw this in the Doncaster match thread. 

That's it. I'm done. Whatever tiny amount of goodwill I still had left towards Dragan and co is gone now after this. I'm not spending another penny on Saints until they have sold up and fucked off.

Absolute cunts.

Sport Republic took over in January 2022 and as soon as they took over results started going backwards. Cracking start. It started going wrong very early on.

It was the summer after where they decided to chuck together a management team and hope it works.

I wonder how much meddling was going on behind the scenes.

From what I hear from a couple of people nowadays - they're are horrendous to work for.

In what way are they horrendous to work for?

Yes, saw Leo come over to some kid and talk to him. Wondered what that was all about. What's he going to do, get it washed and use it for the next game?

Meanwhile the keepers' pre-match shirts looked like they'd rolled around in the mud. If it was to encourage them to dive, it didn't work for their second goal!

Somehow and for whatever reason that unexpected 4-0 defeat to Villa seemed to be the catalyst for our swift demise. Never got my head round why that result proved so pivotal.

I remember that. Something within the club 'unclicked' prior to that game. We went there fairly confident of being able to get a result, having recently drawn at OT and won at Spurs. But suddenly we looked like a completely different team and Villa carved us open with ease. We then capitulated for the rest of the season.

Whatever it was that happened, we've never recovered from it. Up until that point we were looking on course for a steady mid-table finish. The two wins prior to it against Everton and Norwich were probably the last time we ever looked like a competitive PL team - less than two months into the SR era.

Dynamics and ways of working have changed.

Rasmus can put it best “if it ain’t broke, consider breaking it”.
The way the business operated changed drastically.
