It says a lot when that’s another technical director/director of football that is touting his name about, or his agent appears to be.

SR personnel must be difficult to work for behind the scenes.

Who could you be talking about?  😂

I would too, if Wankersen was undermining me at every turn.

I shall try and be pragmatic. Tonda is doing a great job so what if he said Aribo played well he’s hardly going to piss off a player we might need. Majority of players signed by Solak/Spors are coming good so it looks like it’s going to be a decent season and do we want to go up this season ? 
it would be the same as last we aren’t ready. This season Tonda and newbies use this season to toughen up . I hated that last minute goal but big picture maybe a defeat might have been a good thing. 
No way we are getting relegated. This season gives Spors time to asses team indentify new signings Next season rinse the league and go up with a prepared side. 
No idea about Tonda but he’s fine at the moment maybe we go for Rosenior at the end of the season. 
and Sports Republic they pumped a lot of money into club and I reckon they will want to stay around to finalised ground improvements. Yes they’ve made some bad decisions but it looks like Spors phase one is coming good. 
I can’t think of any fans that are happy with thier owners and the divs that say SR should go and be replaced by who ? New owners more instability whereas as we have a sort of system in place and Dragon happy to get someone else in to work with SR. 

Championship weird no standout club let’s see what happens and of course I have to moan about some of the posters on here. The mentality of making the effort to have a dig at Tonda because he didn’t slag off Aribo in public to a hostile question FFS. 

Decent season maintain our superb away following and then straight up next season. What’s wrong with that ? 

Your "greatest era in our history" has been downgraded to "no way are we getting relegated to league one". Amazing.

The Rasmus Effect.

The Tonda work permit will probably  be due to the Governing Body Endorsement, and the fact that he hasnt managed before.

completely separate to any work permit needed for being in a role that isnt manager or "interim manager".

You said this 

Next season rinse the league...  

our best chance to do that was this season but that ship has sailed, what makes you think we could do it next season with 3 more teams with parachute payments.

Anyone that suggests sacking off the league now to get us a chance of “smashing the Championship next season”, take a look at Leeds United currently 👍🏻

Sounds epic but in reality isn’t going to happen , we will have a poorer squad next season almost guaranteed. These owners have a track record of making our squad worse year on year, so why would that suddenly change?  The idea that we just accept mediocrity this season as a direct result of yet more fuck ups at board level with the recruitment of players and the manager, and just reassure ourselves in our heads with this “but we will definitely smash it next year” mantra , speaks volumes and is grossly naive and delusional, based on the track record so far of our owners .

It’s a lazy assumption based on fuck all evidence that’s it even remotely likely to happen. There’s a far greater chance that we will be even worse next season

Exactly- if two of Wolves/WHU/Leeds come down next year then the Championship could be an absolute shit show. Maybe 6 teams with parachute money plus Birmingham and Wrexham on their second seasons in the Championship.

Just sit where we are, be very average despite spending massive money, sell better players in the summer, for it to suddenly kick in next season and we become an unstoppable force ready to cement ourselves back in the premier league.

Ridiculous isn’t it? Never ever happening 

[Wade Garrett]

Nick Illingsworth reckons we are going to appoint someone before the Birmingham game.

The only way that usually works is what Lampard did at Coventry, on the back of very solid foundation laid by a darn good manager (Mark Robbins).

Lampard took over about a year ago and I think Cov were around the part. of the table we are right now. Over the last year, they have been pretty much the form in in the league, and after somehow managing not to go up, they retain the likes of Rudoni (you know we would just not do that), and look at them.

Yep Championship is going to be harder next year for sure with that scenario. 

Just shows how much Saints and the other relegated teams have made a mess so far this season.
