Odds on him being sacked have been frozen. The odds at the bookies have changed dramatically in one day. Maybe because we lost a big game yesterday? There was one twitter post, saying he had been sacked, then a lot of bets starting happening. However, is there something the bookies know that we don't? Is it just rumours that have caused a lot of bets? I can't see any other reports anywhere.

Wouldn’t mind so much but with only one win this season, even the fist pump celebrations are lacking…..…

I would assume Dragan is the majority shareholder, start a movement to boycott a couple of games and the board will listen. We're such a placid club, West Ham fans wouldn't put up with this utter boll*cks.

Remember when Newcastle fans wanted to get rid of Pardew? They didn't mess about. It was absolutely vitriolic.

PS In case you were wondering where Pardew is now. He's been unemployed for more than a year after being sacked by his latest Bulgarian and Greek league clubs.

So apart from the lady who heads up women's football, only Ankesen has any football background, the rest are from business and technology.

That's still doesn't explain who has over-riding power - after all I doubt whether it's a democracy ( correct me if I'm wrong).
How much money do SR actually put into the club?
I suspect that Solak is the only one who invests externally into the club.
I wonder how much money SR extract from the club's coffers and benefit - they certainly haven't acted with visible and clear-cut benefit of an effective Premier League club. The problem with SR is that they're not fully, or whole heartedly committed to one club - it's principally a financial venture.
I say presently, they've failed and need to get their act together quickly; in any other job SR would be dismissed for the failings since promotion. It appears that there's no overriding hand willing able or willing to make that decision.
If anyone can confidently and straight-forwardly explain any of these doubts and queries I'd be very grateful!

No one has over-riding power AT THE MOMENT. They will try very hard to reach compromise agreements that don't cause a split in the board, just as any company would. But if it comes to a full on boardroom dispute, it ultimately comes down to who owns how many shares in SFC. SR own 80% of SFC, so their vote (which would be indivisible) decides the outcome. In turn, the SR vote depends on who owns how many shares in SR. I don't know this and I'm not sure anyone outside SR does.

Dragan is very likely the major shareholder, but does he own more than Kraft and Ankersen combined? I guess yes, but I don't know. Kraft and Ankersen are the original founders of SR and Dragan was brought in to add more money.

It's also possible that there are other, publicly unnamed shareholders in SR. If they are substantial shareholders, they would have had to be approved as fit and proper owners, but their names don't have to be made public. If they exist, they might be the decision makers in any dispute between the other parties.

So, a lot of unknowns, but they will do all they can to avoid it reaching this stage of dispute.

Correction - Dragan owns 75% of SR

The president of the club in Turkey who punched the ref has been jailed for 3.5 years.

Maybe if Chairman of Goztepe FC Rasmus Ankersen can be persuaded to adopt the local Turkish way of doing things...

Fans supporting drastic action and changes at the Club are now venting their anger on many internet boards. But as yet both the Board and RM have been subjected to little opposition and criticism at the actual games.
