No point in getting a lower league manager. The bunch of bastards in our first team squad would just ignore him and play however they want.

It’s mentalist it that people like Alex Neil are now getting the approval rating from Saints fans.

This isn’t a dis towards Hypo, it’s purely indicative of how far we have fallen.
We have fallen so far that we’ll take any relative low end EFL manager now over the PE teacher.

Yep, and would consider Keiffer Moore or, Christ alive, Ollie McBurnie as useful additions.

Not if they’re in the bomb squad they won’t. But it means SR and Spors backing a manager to manage and there’s the issue.,.

Something smells off

A goalkeeper just launched a full goal kick without 50 needless passes between a back 5 and a goal conceded. It offended Russell’s purity,

Just get Lallana in the dugout for Sunday & rest of season - at least he knows what the derby means & would command more respect than TE in the dressing room!!

I’m guessing Lallana wasn’t interested in the job. But if he was…. and it came down to a decision between Tonda and Adam…. on what planet would the answer ever be Tonda??? It makes no sense and in these cases you’ve got to hope to fuck it was never a choice between the 2.

I don't think Lallana was ever in the equation to be honest, he wasn't 'Spors' man. It was only ever going to be Tonda.

When Still was sacked, the usual logical approach is that the existing first team coach/assistant assume interim control - which would have been Tisdale and Lallana. But the fact they went straight to Tonda told me that he's our new manager, he was never interim no matter what bollocks the club put out.

We sold Tall Paul for £8M? to a club who i think messed us around in the past. I strongly feel he would be on 10 plus goals now why?

Although you maybe right, the logic presented doesn’t prove it one way or the other. 
There’s every chance Lallana asked not to be considered, and who could blame him, we’re an utter shit show.

This is true both ways, only a handful actually know the facts.

On the face of, it’s bizarre that a young kid gets offered ahead of someone with 30-odd full international caps, coaching badges and a rising coaching reputation.

Equally, Adam might have thought ‘fuck me, they’ve messed the window up again and I really don’t want to manage Flynn, Ryan, Nathan and others. I’ll carry on with the u21 because this lot change like their underpants and it’ll come around again by February, if I want it at all’.

We should go for a completely left field appointment next, maybe Matt Hancock, Kwasi Kwarteng, or Alan Carr.  Would be a fucking hoot!

Just someone like him with some reasonable first team management experience, operational experience, head of scouting etc and played the game as well. Probably more of a Rasmus replacement but he handled Ashley and would have handled SR easily. Should have been looking for a younger version of him when they bought the club.

A younger version of John Williams as the CEO who was at Blackburn for their glory years would have helped them as well.

Of course, but far to sensible for Sport Republic.  After hiring the tea boy not sure where Ankerson heads now for further disruption.  As an aside, did you know that Alan Carr's second cousin is Paul Gascoigne?

Getting coaching badges is time consuming and distracts from the important work of being a disruptive entrepreneur. Far simpler to hire someone cheap and compliant that already has a badge to enact your grand vision.

Did you know Rasmus has his coaching badges? Well according to his Wikipedia page.

Might as well just make him manager after Tonda gets the boot after our inevitable humping by the skates. He's got as much experience of managing a senior first team and it's not like he could do a lot worse. 

He's obviously full of great ideas, and if he's got his badges let's just cut out the middleman and let him show what he can do.

Agree. Would be an advantage knowing where the cunt is at 3pm on a Saturday.

I did think about that before.  I didn't know he had coaching qualifications though.

It's a serious suggestion though.  Why not have RA manager?  Cut out the (alleged) middle man.  Amusing if he had to sack himself

Re-read what's written there - it only says he "studied for" not that he obtained his coaching badge. 

He then studied for UEFA's A Licence, and became the assistant-coach for the under-17 team at a club

Make him manager for the skates game - he deserves the hate and humiliation of their inbreds and our travelling support. That would break even his enormous ego.

We don’t we will have Tonda for a while he is Spors choice it’s what we pay for having him make the football recruitment decisions .

Unless Spors goes we will let Tonda grow into the role.

What if we win on Xg and possession, that will present Spors with a dilemma.

[Dirkdiggler]

The main issue isn’t who we get is the culprit pulling the strings above which is Spors his influence over our head coaches (don’t think any have been appointed as “manager”)

Never wanted to lose a derby game before, but lose this weekend and the subsequent fans anger might force SRs hand. A group of gutless wankers (bar a handful) mixed with an inexperienced manager was never going to work no matter how much we hoped it would

Some hilarious stuff there, but I really think this is the main problem for us. Ankerson truly believes this and sees himself as an elite individual in the sport. Solak clearly allows him to have huge influence across Sports Republic and I think this has been a barrier to the club recruiting leaders who may have a different view to the Dane. 

Would be interesting to know if Blackmore or Alfie House has ever requested an interview with him.
