Reply | Saints Johannes Spors Has Been Speaking To The Media Again

Hmm, I'm not convinced. So he really likes Juric, knows him well, knows what he can do, so not a great start to the interview. Is he really bigging up Juric, for the aake if it? Then we hear about young players and how much he wants to develop that side of things. So more under 19's in coming from Man City under 21's. Its all the same old stuff, develop, potential, all the buzz words. [Post edited 28 Mar 17:31]

"So why are people blaming Sport Republic and not the ticket office manager"
For the same reason that I am not blaming the 6 different first team managers, who have all failed, for the recruitment of mostly terrible players, under different managers, 2 relegations in 3 years (the owners never learn from their mistakes), 6 strikers bought that can't score, 10 defenders bought that can't defend, under various managers / directors of football and now we have a new sporting director, whose only answer is to provide a pathway through the academy. There already is a pathway, just that the good young players take a different pathway to Liverpool, Manchester and London. What's the point of young players playing in the first team.if they arn't good enough? More Man City under 19s in coming. It didnt work.
The answer is this "We will take the risk like Forest did a few years back and spend 400 million on the team. We will invest, speculate to accumulate, pay top, top.players the going rate, attract the most talented managers and give the Saints supporters what they deserve. IF a young player is good enough, we will show our ambitions to them, pay them well and put them in the first team. Oh and we will make sure that emails, and all correspondence are checked by appointing the most talented ticket office managers in the world, not cheap ones for the future."
If I own a restaurant and appoint a well known, established top chef, I know that the food will be good. If I appoint an unknown, they probably will serve up tripe on a plate. [Post edited 25 Mar 23:27]

So a team of 18 to 23 year olds next season then. There is always a pathway into the first team if they are good enough. But most simply arnt good enough. If they are that good at that age, they are playing for Liverpool, Man U, Man City, Chelsea or Arsenal.
Rinse, Repeat, Rinse, Repeat, Rinse, Repeat. And then Spors gets fed up and jumps ship. Rinse, Repeat [Post edited 24 Mar 19:28]

This happened with the Villa tickets too. If the employees keeps f@cking up, and it's their fault as you suggest, you would expect the bosses to get involved to stop it happening again. These owners do not have their fingers on the pulse.
A good restaurant owner would get involved if the chef kept serving up terrible food. Not the fault of the owner that the chef serves bad food, but it kind of is, if the owner keeps letting the chef serve terrible food without sacking them. |

Sounds like lots of aggro! Eastleigh lost 2 1 to Southend. Southend brought down what looked like about 1000 fans, they were loud and full of support for their team. Eastleigh played ok, but Southend just about deserved to win. Where do Basingstoke play now, same place? [Post edited 23 Mar 11:46]

Empty seats everwhere. If this isn't proof that there is very little interest in women's football, I dont know what is. I went to Easteigh, and so did many others, who didnt even know that the Saints women were playing. [Post edited 22 Mar 19:43]

They will go for the cheapest manager, that will say yes and yes again to Sport Republic's data driven, one for the future, develop potential ideologies. We will continue to go around in circles, all the while these owners are in place. If Sheffield Wednesday want decent compensation, and these owners get sniff of a manager that won't cost so much, they will be interested. |

They were excellent weren't they. I remember Hull being one of, if not the best team we played at St Mary's last season. |

Yep. The gap in quality is so huge between the two leagues making it impossible to survive. That's two years in a row that all three teams promoted are straight back down. 6 teams and none of them survive. [Post edited 16 Mar 22:07]

Those days under these owners are behind us, yes. Even under these terrible owners at least the championship won't be so depressing as only winning one home game.
One thing for sure, our sleepy fans wont protest against them to bring back the glory days, so we are stuck with being thrashed every week the Prem or some wins in the championship. [Post edited 16 Mar 18:46]

I'd hate to lose the Derby, ofcourse. And if we struggle in the Championship, we will get the idiots at the top out of our club.
A club our size, when we sell Dibling and have the parachute payments are unlikely to struggle. [Post edited 16 Mar 18:41]

The West Brom game in the play offs and the Leeds game at Wembley were absolutely brilliant. Have we ever seen thousands of fans with flares, proud of their club outside the front of St Mary's?.That was in the championship. I wouldn't mind more of that. The last minute winners in many championship games were superb. Compare that to the last two seasons in the Premier League, sitting next to tourists taking pictures and smiling, in a silent morgue when we are losing 5 nil. [Post edited 16 Mar 18:40]

No they haven't enforced sitting in the Kingsland north. I stand all game, but I am in the back row. A few stand in front but not many. I am moving over to the Chapel next season. In the Kingsland, you can't see the away fans. I want the banter with away fans next season amd ofcourse in the big Derby game, I want to be able to see the goings on. |

I genuinely can't wait to be in the championship next season. Two local derbies. Bragging rights as to who finishes higher in the league, will maintain a lot of interest. Something to play for. We will probably win more than one match at home all season. No VAR. No more tourists. Some great traditional grounds to visit, with good atmospheres. I can't wait to finish this season and start again in the championship. |

The championship was much better, with more blokes and proper Saints fans. Again yesterday, a load of smiling gimps clapping. Some were booing and being angry, including myself, some were clapping. Many had left on 80 minutes or before. But these smiley, Happy clappers are part of the problem. The club, the players, the manager are getting off easily.
One thing that Juric did say yesterday was this "Booing is the very minimum the fans can do. Its all fine here. In Italy, in this situation, you wouldn't be able to leave the house." What a bunch of wet blankets some of our fans are. [Post edited 16 Mar 12:13]

He's already signed for another club. The g!t thinks he's too good for us, so won't give us the time of the day. He's arrogantly strolling around the pitch. And as for Bella Kotchap, he's a g!t too. He again was at fault for.one of the goals. You can see why Russel Martin didn't play him. [Post edited 15 Mar 18:24]

Geez, this manager is the worst of the lot. Why did you bring off Fernandez? "I didn't like how he played, no no no, he's a good player." Why, when we played so well at Liverpool with 4 4 2, did you change it, with no striker at home?."No, no, no, we played better tactically without the striker"
Well done Sport Republic. Another gem appointed. Good luck.on the next one.
Russel Martin was much better. [Post edited 15 Mar 18:22]

I would be really happy with Rohl. He's a young coach, plays pressing, attacking football, has experience of the Championship, kmows Saints as a club and has done an impressive job with a very poor Sheffield Wednesday team. All their fans love him. He's the perfect fit for us. |
