Juric calls Downes unprofessional live on air
at 20:58 8 Feb 2025

I'm not overly convinced with Dibling. He didn't do much today and couldn't break down Burnley's defence. He has missed quite a few chances in the PL too and hasn't scored many if any goals? However, I sense he is p!ssed off, playing in such a terrible team.

It is definitely time to start protesting and get Sport Republic Out. 2 relegations in 3 seasons, with a succession of terrible managers, tells us they are jokers. I can't see us coming straight back up again next season, with such a terrible hangover from this dreadful season.

Spot on. It's Sport Republic who keep appointing these duds! Whilst also bringing in terrible players, or not bringing in any at all.

It surely has to kick off at some point against these owners.

Well yeah. And the next one will also be clueless, because the people appointing him are complete jokers. So clueless managers it will be until SR get out of our club.

Ofcourse it's always the manager's fault. When we are on manager number 25, we might see that it's the owners who need to go. Having said that if Juric says no no no in a scratchy voice again, I have a feeling Juric will start to get on people's nerves. But so will the next manager, because Sport Republic are terrible and don't make any good decisions at all, ever.

At least Armstrong tried hard. He scores today on loan, whilst we barely manage a shot. Nobody brought in to replace him. Wellington was useles today, just a cheap signing. This club is a joke.

I wish they would fu ck off too. Another "talent spotter". Let's see how many young players he can "spot" on the cheap. And so it goes on.

Juric wanted players - these owners didn't deliver
at 21:33 6 Feb 2025



Nothing ever changes. Ralph wanted a striker, they didn't get it done. A few years later, these owners still not supporting the manager of the day. They just won't pay what is required to tempt the best players.

We.just get stuck every time. Good players that we need won't come if they can get more elsewhere at more ambitious clubs. Juric already showing his frustrations.

Sport Republic won't, haven't and never will, increase their wage structure to become an ambitious PL club. Yes they have spent money, but only on players they think will make them a profit. We are going nowhere with this lot in charge. They are here to make money. They are not here to make a successful football club on the pitch. As long as the 18 year old we buy for 1.million gets sold for 6 million when he's 21 (Amu Amu for example) that's profit. Most people I'm sure have worked them out by now.

Burnley next game

I am going to get tickets, mainly because it's a Saturday 3pm game, and Saturday is a football day for me.

Any possibility of the Greatest Escape Ever?
at 17:20 1 Feb 2025

We would all say no, I would imagine. However in 2006, West Ham won 8 out of their final 10 games, after being ten points adrift. Our local rivals also escaped after being many points adrift.

Hmm. At least we should beat Derby's record low points total.

Interesting team. Sulemana and Dibling on the bench. Where does Wellington play? I thought he was once e for the future to be honest, but he's straight into the team.

He did a bit of a lap around the pitch yesterday on his own after the game. Rumour has it that Everton have come in for him at about 5 million. We get 5 million now or nothing in the summer. This would make sense for all involved, so I could see this happening.

The point of keeping the manager is that it costs millions to keep sacking them. Was it worth the 10 million it cost to sack Martin, to continue losing and be relegated anyway? You can't just keep sacking managers, onto the next, it costs money!

If the club is a sh!tshow as you rightly say and the squad is not PL standard as you rightly say, do you not think every manager is being set up to fail? Why don't you want the "idiots" as you put it, out? Why just the manager? If we didn't have idiots at the very top, we wouldn't keep having to sack managers as they would make the right appointment, get the recruitment right and put PL players on the pitch? Is that not logical?

I'm not sure he would be the right manager to bring us back up next season in the championship, and I expect he will go in the summer, especially if we keep losing, which we will, because we are far inferior to the opposition every week. But what will this board and ownership do? They will appoint another Russel Martin won't they, from a mid table club in the championship or some up.and coming coach from league one.

But the point remains, it doesn't matter who manages us with this team. They just arnt good enough. We won't ever win games, if we struggle to score and make mistakes every match against world class players. You get punished and then have no chance.

So change again? We still only have 2 goals a season Armstrong up front, whether you change the manager or not.

Selles and Ralph were also described in similar terms. But they arnt all.over the place at other clubs, just at Saints. Do you not question that just possibly the problems are higher up?
