 | News Comment | Southampton Apparently Not Up For Sale At ÂŁ125 Million at 22:25:07
“ Football is littered with bad owners, perhaps Sports Republic will turn out to be one of them, but we can’t accuse them of being that just yet”. Two Premier League relegations in three years together with large numbers of paid for season ticket holders in open revolt not bothering to turn up at St Mary’s and you really believe what you’ve written Nick? By any standard, acceptance of their ownership and control on the basis that such a low bar meets supporter wises, is nothing if not interesting I suppose. |
 | News Comment | Johannes Spors Shakes Up Southampton Backroom Team at 18:23:30
Colburn, reference Trump and underweststand’s mention of him. To be honest, I find it equally a mystery as to why you give Jimmy Saville T V a mention. Personally, if I never heard of either of them ever again it would be too soon. |
 | News Comment | Johannes Spors Shakes Up Southampton Backroom Team at 10:58:14
For pity sake, how many supposedly “ Senior Manager Employees types” does it take to run a relatively small business whose last declared total turnover was only £84.8 million ? Wouldn’t it be better to employ fewer people who actually knew what they were doing ? We are Southampton Football Club not Tescos. |
 | News Comment | Southampton At Leicester City The Verdict at 15:09:42
Fair play to you Nick in putting out a report with no mention whatsoever of any praise for any of our Owner, Sports Republic or their Senior Employees, Managers or Players. Given your ever laudable undoubted love and enthusiasm for our Club, displayed over many years,in your efforts to Rally the Troops, I suspect not an easy report for you to have written. You got this one spot on because all they deserve is what they’ve received since Saturday:- Abject Ridicule. |
 | News Comment | Southampton Have Their Best Chance To Avoid Unwanted Record On Saturday at 13:08:38
Hope springs eternal, but just the ultimate confirmation regarding Sports Republic’s total inability to own and successfully manage a Football Club. Two relegations in three years and success is gauged as being able to avoid being known as the worst team ever to play in the Premier League. They really are utterly pathetic. |
 | News Comment | Southampton At West Ham United The Preview at 18:18:02
Yep, Adam Armstrong who couldn’t even get a start today with West Brom who effectively ended their playoffs chances with a 2-0 defeat at Coventry. |
 | News Comment | Manchester United, West Ham And Leeds Circling Over Southampton at 14:32:36
If Bazunu is between the sticks next season we will not be promoted. He may be a better than average distributor of the ball with his feet but the rest of his game is poor by any metric. To be frank, I don’t even think we would have made The Championship playoffs had he not been injured toward the end of the season. McCarthy gets a lot of stick but his inclusion at Bazunu’s expense was ultimately the reason we got to Wembley. |
 | News Comment | Southampton V Aston Villa The Verdict at 10:06:38
“ Arsenal aside in the last game of the season, Aston Villa are probably the best side we will face for the rest of the season” ? Forgotten about Man City Nick ? Current League Champions who are presently ahead of Villa in the table, and put five past Crystal Palace whilst coming from two down on Saturday. As for our Saturday’s umpteenth humiliation of the season. I didn’t go, so won’t comment. |
 | News Comment | Saints Set To Offload Striker In the Summer at 10:07:38
I would have thought that Onuachu would be an ideal target man for the rough and tumble of The Championship, but then again I don’t know anything about building fan zones or opening pubs either. |
 | News Comment | Can This Be The Dawning Of A New Era At Southampton FC at 11:59:34
Nick, I hardly think that a prosperous and successful new era will dawn simply because a recently hired Sports Republic employee in Spors, does what he’s told by our owners and sacks another recently hired employee in Juric. Given their disastrous record of two top flight relegations in three seasons, a new era is only in prospect if Sports Republic depart the scene entirely. Unfortunately however, that doesn’t look very likely does it ? |
 | News Comment | The Odds Are Out On The Next Southampton Manager at 18:46:06
Gerrard is just another player who attempted to be a manager and failed miserably, much the same as the village idiot Rooney. Given that our club is owned and run by a bunch of total incompetents I imagine it would be a marriage made in heaven were he to be appointed. |
 | News Comment | Back To Reality For Saints On Wednesday But Sadly Nothing Has Changed at 10:18:56
Nick, I’ve disagreed with you previously for in my opinion you being far too pro everything Sports Republic and Southampton Football Club Ltd. This morning however I take my hat off to you for finally posting an article which I suspect reflects the views of the vast majority of fans. Will the doughnuts who own and manage Sports Republic take any notice of your views ? I doubt it, but at least thanks for trying. |
 | News Comment | Southampton Supporters Enjoy A Rare Happy Weekend at 11:55:07
Let’s hope that Mr Spors takes the trouble to read your comments Nick. Given Sports Republic’s previous record of non communication with us I’m not hopeful anything will change, but give the man a chance I suppose. |
 | News Comment | Southampton Supporters Enjoy A Rare Happy Weekend at 10:45:24
Good effort at rallying the troops Nick. Honestly though if Juric were to have gone before season end would it not have happened already ? My concern is that our majority owner has said that we will start next season with Juric in charge.Should that be the case then I don’t fancy the Club’s chances of selling many season tickets during the close season. |
 | News Comment | Sport Republic Can Be A Big Success For Southampton Says Spors at 09:28:46
So, a man recently employed by Sports Republic says that Sports Republic can be a big success for Southampton. What else is he going to say for pity sake ? He’s hardly likely to say that his employers are utter and complete incompetents is he ? The facts however ( two Premiership relegations in three years and on course to be the worst team ever to compete in that league ) speak for themselves. |
 | News Comment | Southampton V Liverpool The Preview at 14:43:09
Saints are 20/1 with Bedfred for the away win which says more about Sports Republic than it does about the team selected to play Liverpool tomorrow. |
 | News Comment | Ivan Juric Sacking Rumours Surface at 22:18:45
So, if he goes it’s because exactly the same as Russell Martin, he was asked by Sports Republic to do the impossible and keep a team of Championship players and football journeymen in the toughest league in the world. How long is it going to take for supporters to realise where the blame truly lies ? It rests full square with our owners choice in appointing employees at all levels who haven’t the faintest idea of how to run a bath or get home on a dark night,let alone manage a professional football club. |
 | News Comment | Henrik Kraft Resigns As A Director Of Sport Republic at 13:49:38
Absolutely not landsdownsaint, they should never of allowed Ralph to remain in position to start the season during which he was dismissed. If you recall under his guidance the previous season, we won only one game out of the last fourteen. Had it not been for a brilliant display of goal keeping by Forster in that home game against Arsenal, we would have been in the relegation shake up even then. Having said that, Sports Republic have made so many mistakes I suppose we all have our individual favourites don’t we ? |
 | News Comment | Henrik Kraft Resigns As A Director Of Sport Republic at 12:51:18
So, if your list of board member and senior executives is correct Nick, (and I’ve no reason to think it isn’t) the club can afford to pay these doughnuts inflated salaries to make our club a football laughing stock,but can’t pay staff minimum wage to keep the club shop fully open during the week ? Sports Republic really are utterly pathetic. |
