Might be quite interesting for a change.
Hopefully not full of "Colin from Lordshill, a season ticket holder for 93 years" types, and Blackmore doesn't spend 55 of the 60 minutes talking. |  |

I thought everyone said Spors was good, a new start, when I pointed out that nothing will change all the while Sport Republic are here? |
So basically, if we go up, it would be very difficult again because our income is 150 million, compared to the 750 million they get at Man City. Very inspiring stuff.
I will say it again, Sport Republic are a waste of space.
No chairman and no manager at the forum. But they care about the fans deeply? [Post edited 7 Aug 19:13]

Unfortunately we can only dream being like the likes of Bournemouth, Brentford, Fulham, Palace, Brighton who all went up and established them selfs.
They also didn’t have a bunch of fvcking idiots in charge who took an established premier league club to 2 relegations in 3 seasons and now trying to convince us it’s almost impossible to go up and stay up. | | | |

Johannes has made it clear that he was the one who decided to offer Stephens the long contract because he thinks he's a great leader and good example for the younger players.
He really is an awful person to be in charge of the football side of the Club. |
Not impressed.
Making Stephens Captain and giving him a 3 year contract extension makes no sense.
This is a player who was sent off twice in a season and was heavily fined for abusing the referee and fourth official and received a two match suspension.
Why doesn't the manager choose the Captain? |  | | |

It's the Sport Republic way. We blame the manager every time things go wrong. But it's not the manager making the decisions on players being signed or contracts. The manager is left in impossible situations with a bad team to manage. And it's the owners at fault.
If we were to have a manager making all these decisions, SR wouldn't have the yes man that they want. They don't want an experienced manager telling them to sign an experienced proven player. A player like that wouldn't make money for them. So they appoint managers who do as they are told and who agree to be bossed about and ruled. WS has been told who to have as his captain. A young, new manager with potential allows this sort of thing to happen, and that's why they never go for experience. Dyche for example would tell them where to stick it.
This is one reason, why under the same owners, same system, I am not convinced. [Post edited 7 Aug 20:53]

Bearing in mind what fans saw last season I thought that forum was very placid. | | | |

Why is anyone remotely surprised that the whole thing was a washout ?
It’s become an annoying annual P R Exercise under the control of the waffling Blackmore.
Fortunately I didn’t watch it as I had better more productive things to do, watching my garden potatoes grow. | |

There was also a "calm" but "fragile" air / atmosphere of "We have had enough". Somebody said "SR have made us a laughing stock" . I think there was a clear, calm message that they have to get things right this year, or there will be huge protests against our owners. [Post edited 7 Aug 20:59]

Not according to Nick, Dirk.
His appointment was proof that the Club were turning over a new leaf. | |

So basically... we are going to go the way of Norwich and West Brom and Derby County. Once great - but now poor & utter dogs' poo?
*Sigh. My glass is usually half full and we haven't even kicked a ball yet. I just get the feeling though that no matter what, Sport Republic are going to fu(k it all up... again. |  |
