So that's 'almost' €12m per year, or 'almost' one Damion Downs.

At least SR are consistent in their money squandering.

Solak is getting absolutely rinsed by Rasmus Ankerson and all of his lower league hangers on. The level of disrespect also towards two of the three clubs in their group is unbelievable.

But unlike Valenciennes supporters who have some backbone, our lot will clap like performing seals after an insipid 3-0 defeat at Stoke.

I thought when Still was sacked it was the last chance saloon in terms of Ankerson's influence.  At that point he would be forced to climb down, show some ambition and deference and appoint a person in the mould of previously successful Saints managers, the likes of Carrick, Solskaer, Viera, having bypassed the likes of Cooper in the summer.  But the ego failed him again, it always does with genuine narcissists.  But there is perhaps one remaining last chance for our club - that Solak is giving this charlatan the final coils on the rope that will hang him, prior to a clearout and full reset / rebuild in the summer.  I think Solak is friendly with some serious ex-football people via the golf course, certainly Souness and Stankovic, so maybe undertake some objective consultancy on the current debacle and way forward in the meantime.  It seems incredible that a self-made man worth around £1.5 billion has not yet intervened, but people at that level in complex organisations and unfamiliar fields always like to defer expertise and responsibility.  Things seem to have gone very quiet, and we will know in a few days if the taps have been turned off for this skip-fire of a season.  Early summer is likely to be a Solak putsch, or a serious attempt to sell.  On balance I would probably go for the former, just to see what the current owner is actually made of.

You can see why I left Southampton relatively early in my adulthood - and it’s not gotten any better since. If you’re an ambitious professional, you aren’t hanging around unless you want to land planes or sell cruises. 🚢 

SR mirror the city’s chronic lack of ambition and drive. Cricket is the thing I miss, got to go to Edgbaston for decent cricket domestically and internationally here, whereas I used to love watching Hants and England at the Rose Bowl. Hampshire CCC leave Saints and Pompey for dust ambition-wise.

Gloucester a thriving entrepreneurial hub is it?

It presupposes that he sees it as being a problem. While Rasmus has a conveyor belt of convenient scapegoats to revolve into the manager position and "data" to show his approach is "working" he may think everything is ok and it's part of the long term project. Without anyone with the ability to question the misuse of data and data based approach he's going to struggle to see why it's nonsense.

More fool Dragan for letting them waste and disrespect his money. He needs to get a grip. 

Yet again you wonder, how did Dragan make such a success in his business, if he allows a situation where those at the top act recklessly ? 
 

As well as being incompetent, time after time. 
 

Staggering.

Don’t disagree with you but:

Was Still an Ankerson or Spors selection?  In truth we don’t know. Has RA’s style to it, but Spors will take the blame.

Solak putsch. Wasn’t that meant to be last year and summer? RA being sidelined to Goztepe etc.

My view is that Ankerson has been overseeing all appointments on the football side at director / coach level since the sacking of Hassenhutl. Of course there have been lots of percieved lines in the sand given how badly we have been run. The point now is whether Solak has had enough.

He may, he may not. Fuck knows. That’s the point at this point.

It certainly seems that SR decision makers have no clue how to turn things round as it stands, only to knock down what is there regardless of value and start from a clean state ie, break everything.  
The worrying part is the French club has shown how low things can go (has it bottomed out yet). What a complete shambles.

He’s been advised by them already and chooses to go with Wankersen’s bullshit approach.

Dragan can fuck off as far as I’m concerned.
