Yep, but all I know is there's a lot of problems right now. The NHS is on its knees, a 50 billion black hole apparently, everyone is expecting welfare to be cut in the next budget, the high streets are boarded up, homeless on the streets, mental health at crisis levels. Shareholders yes, but I also don't think footballers need 200k a week, think what a small percentage of that would do for a homeless person but we all keep buying football tickets and sky etc. [Post edited 24 Oct 0:21]

Who are the pr*cks with money though? Haaland? - he earns about a reported 10 million a year. Starmer himself, even Corbyn are millionnaires? Most politicians are at the very least well off from all sides. I assume you mean those with billions, I agree it would be great to share it out, nobody needs that much money, but they are so rich, they just move their money elsewhere. How can you "go after them"? They would just get in their private jet somewhere else.
The government just needs to get a grip of the boats, which is a problem. Then there would be no need for further protests. The government and the previous government are causing the divisions in my opinion. They are not being honest about the problem, whilst taxing working people and small businesses into insolvency, they will no doubt try to reduce welfare in the next budget by hurting the disabled or the poor, but there is 6 billion a year (so I have read from research) to put those on a boat into hotels. This is never questioned or reduced. [Post edited 23 Oct 23:57]

I do think people are entitled to be annoyed or worried about unchecked, unknown people risking their lives to cross the Channel on a dinghy. Families with 6 kids living in a one bed flat don't get given accommodation with food and medical care, nor do some of our homeless (who may be British born or not) but come over on a dinghy and you get a room and food. People who may be concerned by this particular thing for various reasons, can still be grateful for those wonderful "immigrants" doing a wonderful job in the NHS, disgusted by the Windrush scandal (as these people were invited), happy for known people to come over through less dangerous means, if they are coming over to work etc. [Post edited 23 Oct 23:24]

Blimey, no wonder Swindon town centre was full of people falling over, jumping around and a few zombie looking people on the streets Tuesday night at about midnight when I drove through it on the way home from Bristol. Bloody SATNAV. [Post edited 23 Oct 22:54]

I forgot about his time at Everton. Kept them up. 2 successful stints as a manager at the very highest level. He was a top player, a leader, a captain, a great communicator, enthusiastic, got the fans onside. Compare with Still, who was never a player, never managed in England let alone the top level. Only "success" finishing 12th was it for one season?
I find it really strange that people can't recognise who is likely to be a good manager and who isn't,.particularly Sport Republic. |

I guess he is around the area at the moment and watching some games. As you say, he wouldnt be in the stands with our manager still in post, if he was about to take over. That would be disrespectful.
Having said that, he probably had some friendly chats with many officials at the club, being at the game the other night, perhaps stating his wish to get back into management or not. If he stated his love for the club and wanted to be back in a job, they would probably have a few thoughts and think hmm maybe an option. Or maybe he might be back as the sporting director?

You have to accept that other people have different views and opinions. To stop people saying their views because we don't agree, won't stop them thinking it and it won't stop them living amongst us. If threads like this get instantly banned, people with controversial views would just go underground, it won't take these people away.
Allow people to express themselves, agree, disagree, discuss or simply ignore. If people have views, we can't ever change minds if we don't discuss with them to try to change their mind. Everyone has a right to express their views, whether we like them or not. We live in a democracy or should be. [Post edited 23 Oct 15:22]

Good job? He has done a terrible job. The team is 18th in the championship, can't score, didn't get a good striker, didn't get us a new goalkeeper, appointed a terrible manager and the players keep making mistakes costing us games.
And the bigger story is that we lose another sporting director. Like managers, nobody stays at this failing club very long do they? [Post edited 23 Oct 14:49]

Who reported abuse? I won't be there, but seriously if you don't like the event, don't go. Posting this on a football forum is arguable but Nick allows other topics and politics to be hosted in here. Nick has already addressed this and he says he doesn't mind. People can agree or disagree, that's fine.
Isn't this the same person who keeps having a go at Le Tiss? If so, utterly ridiculous but we can't keep cancelling people because we don't agree with them. Everyone has a right to protest and he is announcing it. And everyone has a right to put political threads on here, as long as Nick allows. Ignore the thread and don't go if you disagree. There is no abuse here. [Post edited 23 Oct 14:43]

They don't stick around long do they. One year in the job and they want out. More evidence of how bad Sport Republic are. These sporting directors breeze in, leave us with terrible players and then leave.

I would have been really happy if they had appointed Lampard. He did a decent job at Chelsea. Pl experience as a manager and player. Big name, full of enthusiasm and energy, a person the players clearly respect at Coventry because he was great player and he has managed the world's best players at Chelsea. But we wouldn't ever appoint such a manager. Spot Republic want yes men, who will accept all their money making ways. |

No not going. After last night's disgraceful capitulation, I am not spending over £100 with travel to watch those losers. So expensive to get there, no free travel like Stoke give their fans. [Post edited 22 Oct 22:08]

I agree with you Saint22. We bought Fellows and Azaz to help us create chances and score goals for a lot of money. They should be playing in the team. If Will Still didnt have room to fit them in the team, he should have halted the transfers and saved the 25 million. [Post edited 22 Oct 22:02]

Not demanding a goalkeeper, not demanding an experienced striker, agreeing to give Jack Stephens a new contract when clearly he doesn't rate him, continuing with this I am calm boll@x. Get angry with them I say. His press conferences, he just agrees with everything put to him and looks too nervous to put up any fight.
Ultimately, the proof is in the pudding. If his teams get bullied on the pitch, I am wondering about the manager. By bullied I mean that we concede one goal and collapse. They can't be that low in confidence, they are mostly new players! How can these players not be motivated for a south coast derby? The performance, especially first half was dreadful. It's Will Still's team now. Is he not motivating them, or has he sanctioned buying useless players? [Post edited 22 Oct 15:06]

Yes, but an experienced manager who had something about him surely saw clips of Stephens over the last 10 years, clips of the goalkeepers over the last 3 years, and he knew we got rid of Bazunu in the PL because he wasnt good enough and banished Mccarthy to the reserves many times. Did Still not raise this, or too naive and inexperienced?
And why do I think Will Still is just a weak, inexperienced yes man?
Well you know we have just agreed that we need a striker and 99 per cent of the fanbase said it in the summer, why did Will Still say he was happy with the strikers we have? Too scared to disagree with his bosses or genuinely thinks they are good enough?
Either way, that doesn't tell me he is strong manager who.knows what he is doing.
Any finally, why not play Robinson, the player who runs like crazy and scored at Ipswich? I could go on and on with the utter ridiculous decisons. [Post edited 22 Oct 14:40]

There's so many mess ups.
Why give Jack Stephens a new 3 year contract, make him captain, only to drop him? There are about 3000 clips of him to know what he is like.
Why not just buy Mcburnie for far less, rather than spend 8 million on an unknown, inexperienced players who might be ok in 5 years time? Anything to do with our owners only interested in sell on values? Was the manager not knocking on the door and demanding they get him a striker? Our Will disagrees with you. He said we don't need a striker. Naive, weak, naive.
Why didnt they get a goalkeeper? Our Will, if he knew the game well, he would have been demanding it, and not just accepted we would go with Mccarthy.
