    An interesting post I've copied and pasted from SW. My feelings on these charlatans are well known but surely most Saints fans can now see that these guys are nothing but bad for the club.

    Hopefully the copy and paste will work

    So Rasmus is in charge of our recruitment? And they want to create a group where everyone benefits from the resources? ****ing fantastic, we can carry on using our club as a cash cow for tin pot foreign clubs all while we wait on Capt genius to unearth a new gem. Seems they don't really care about the footballing success of any of the clubs. Absolute frauds

    Utterly clueless if they think the fans of any of their clubs care about how well organised and financially stable the multi club model is if the results don't come.
    And no ****s will be given by any fans about the other 2 clubs in the triumvirate of mediocrity that we all belong to

    Reminds me of how many times Parsons said "things off the pitch are looking good" to me.

    Whilst they completely ignore the issues on it. How are we ever going to be successful with their attention and more importantly financials divided 3 ways? Simple fact is we can't afford to sack Martin.

    The whole problem is summed up by Kraft’s statement that “Rasmus is Mr Football”.

    I don’t think that is true. Each club has its own management structure, and then we have a couple of guys who sign off the big decisions across all the clubs. I didn’t read anything there all that bad to be honest. SR haven’t bought 3 mega huge clubs and this is working very well in Turkey!

    Confused - he pretty much said just that in the 3rd screenshot.

    After mentioning the good off the field stuff he went on to say:

    "but a football club needs a winning team, otherwise people make fun at the rest."

    It isn't for lack of trying. They clearly want a sustainable model that brings good results on the pitch. I just don't think they are capable.

    My first thought too.

    Do we actually have any football people involved at a senior level in the club?

    OK let's say we desperately need a PL quality striker (hard to imagine I know, but for arguments sake) but the French outfit need a left back and the Turkish one a GK. Saints have £30 million in the pot. Are we then spending 30m on that striker or are we having to spend 15 because the other clubs need players too? How do we know revenue earned by our club (TV money, player sales etc) isn't being funneled away to them? Or even worse our club isn't being used in collateral for money loans for those clubs?

    What if we can't afford to sack RM because the other 2 clubs are short on ££?
    I'm yet to see how this model helps us at all.

    Did they also get VA relegated by buying a group of inexperienced players?

    Nothing in that interview surprised me, but my opinion remains: SR are ****ing terrible.

    Thanks, cannot ‘like’ it as such because what is says I don’t like. We’re being asked to be patient, bit late for that!!

    The key person in SR is Solak. If he is happy to keep putting in money then I’m happy. You’d think at some point he might be questioning Rasmus and Henrik but I don’t know how the business model works in terms of ownership and if he can just fire them and replace with someone else or if they are all owners of SR so either they all go or none of them do
