Sport Republic have spent money on quantity not quality.
This season for example £98m seems a lot but not when it’s on 7 players.
Martin has gone, 5 games too late.
Now is the time for Sport Republic to make their most important signing.
A signing that could well impact the future of the club.
Are we to be a Premier League club or floundering in tier 2 with other ex PL sides?
Sport Republic need to get a good manager in and pay the money.
Over to them… |  |

It was the questions we had wrong. |

The next manager betting book is a fun bet, it has too many opportunities for the bookies to catch a cold, as at some point several people know who is going to be the next manager before it is announced.
So if Phil Parsons pops in to William Hill's in town and tries to wallop £3 million on Graham Potter at 7-1, they will smell a rat.
So on these type of bets there is a fairly low maxim that the bookies will accept being put on and if you get a little surge somewhere then the odds shorten quickly |  |

I wouldn't put it past Phil Parsons to put a £3 million bet on Graham Potter after we have already appointed somebody else. |  |

"...he needs to change the playing style, that does not mean that possession football should be completely ditched, everyone plays it..."
That's not true. Of course everyone would prefer to keep the ball rather than give it away, but possession football means prioritising possession of the ball, rather than taking risks and counter attacking quickly. There are some teams in the PL that try to play that way, but there are many that don't prioritise possession at all. They prioritise speed of attacking or getting players in the box and crossing instead.
Mostly it is the teams at the bottom with the lesser players that are counter attacking or direct teams, but even at the top there are teams that could never be described as possession based. Forest, B'mouth and Villa are all in the top 7 but you could never describe their style as possession football.
If SR decide (illogically) that they want to continue their blueprint of playing possession football then there is a high probability that they will make another bad appointment. | | | |

I disagree, most teams are playing possession football, it is only the level to which they play it and how quickly they get the ball forward.
Very few teams just lump it forward at the earliest opportunity, they keep the ball and then go for the opening , Liverpool possession football game is a lot different to Man City's and Bournemouth's is a lot different to ours. | |

If you're not playing possession football, that doesn't mean you're "lumping it forward at the earliest opportunity". Only Everton come close to that style. They have the lowest possession stats.
But 2nd lowest are Forest with 41%. Possession football means trying to dominate possession. If that's what Forest are trying to do, then they are failing badly. But obviously they're doing very well in their non-possession style. They're 4th.
Watching them play, they are neither trying to dominate possession nor lump it forward. It's a similar story with B'mouth and others.
"Possession Football" has a specific meaning: trying to control the game by dominating possession. There are many teams in the PL that don't try to do that, and I really hope we become one of them. | | | |
