Sports Repulic need to change and realise their mistakes or sell up and feck off. I would say the latter would be more likely though, which is a shame as they have monetary back we require. 

They are fecking weird peeing their money up the wall time and time again and watching something clearly that does not work! 

The first sentence is the problem, they won’t. You’ve got a guy at the top who probably wanks in the mirror then a loaf of yes men under him. They’ve made the same mistakes over and over again. Nothing suggest they’re going to learn does it

Alfie clearly going all out to be barred from the club, and take on martyr status with the fans.

Or has another job lined up. 

He spends time talking to fans so has a good idea what the actual fanbase feels and I don't mean the FAB types but actual match going regulars

Is it like the emperors new clothes? He's convinced all is great and no one else is prepared to tell him the truth ?

Fulthorpe was talking 2yrs ago, didn't put his money where his mouth is though.

Alfie going all guns blazing... Shame it's taken so long for a journo to hold these reckless owners to account...

 

 

Good to hear him laying into SR. Shame though he couldn’t specifically call out the root of the disease, Rasmus Ankersen, although he does hint at it.

I can't believe Solak is happy with the former best asset of the group being run into the ground like this. Even Wankersen can't spin the fact that literally every decision made at Saints the last few years has been complete and utter shit. I live in hope he realises enough is enough and fires the twat and anyone else who has had any responsibility in the manager farce of the last 3 years.

‘Putting Egos aside’ - about as obvious a reference to Rasmus Ankerson as you could get.

But how is any of that going to happen without SR going?

They're done. They're finished. There is no way back for them here, the damage they've done is irreversible at this stage and the trust is gone.

They have proven time and time and time and time again - they cannot make the right decisions. They are incapable.

If I had any power I'd ensure they'd never be able to make a decision again, but sadly they will probably do so in the coming months. 

They need to go. It doesn't get better when they are still hanging around. Dragan needs to honour his words and fall on his sword within the next few months.

Spors was meant to be dragons attempt to clean up the mess from previous mistakes but his head should be rolling already. So many idiotic decisions that just don’t make sense, there’s chatter about the ex Martin players being toxic yet the first thing he dioes is reward jack with a new contract, the others are still played regularly by tonda so nothing being done about that 

The manager choices have been a absolute mess and after already making one bad appointment with will still why would you go and take a crazy gamble on a manager with zero experience ? This really isn’t the fucking time to mess about with experiments these decisions needed to be correct it doesn’t seem to matter how sports republic shuffle the boardroom deckchairs the decisions remain consistently terrible

A romantic thought. We are more likely to get someone who went down on Osama Bin-Laden.

New buyer would end up being someone like Ryan Reynolds or Tom Brady, only we'd end up with a Temu version and it'd be the guy who plays Roy in Coronation Street.

It's not the Roy of the Rovers I was after. But it would still be an improvement. 🙂

And those people are likely under him whilst he is wanking in the mirror, trying to catch some drips of greatness.

Obviously awful,  but need to show net spend as well

Dragan is not a philanthropist, at the end of the day it is just business; He will keep on funding SR as long as he sees return on investment.

Right now SR seems to only bleed money with VA FC; it is largely being offset by SFC and Gotzepe.

No change in sight I'm afraid.
