Their client list doesn’t have a full international. https://www.smiworld.co.uk/clients Compared to Wasserman and Unique Sports Group, they are a lot smaller

Just about managed it and then created one of the worst PL sides in existence with 1 win in 16

Interestingly Martin is not one of the major agencies

Finishing 4th with a club who were in the top three favourites for the division with the healthy help of parachute payments - it's not outlandish statement in regards his promotion with Southampton. It wasn't particularly impressive similarly would apply to any manager winning League 1 with Leicester City this season.

It’s the minimum I’d expect of any manager we appoint next/this season. We should be outright favourites by some distance.

Every fan wants hope going into a season. The feeling of a new beginning. They simply don’t get that. Going for the same style on a bloke universally considered a bit of joke in football, let alone our fanbase. Go with a bloke going upwards who doesn’t talk in shite corporate football talk. Just give us something to get behind.

Always thought this lad chats waffle ever since his BSLB appearance where he got a load of factual stuff wrong

apparently McCarron and the guys were working to make sure they get the right man FFS

It will suit our opposition to the ground. They have 11 behind the ball. Wait for the mistake and exploit on the counter attack. This gamble shows no acknowledgement of the serious work the squad needs doing. We have no senior right back, we are short in midfield, we have no striker. Alongside the various players that aren’t capable of this style. Aiyawatt probably listening to players again about passing style

Just let them get their fascination with him over and done with. Stick McCarron in the bin too.

If anything they’d be well positioned to remember Shipman Out / O’Neill out and remember the eventual legacy of those moments

Well tbf the players have stunk the place out alongside disgraceful behaviour off the pitch. That’s not me being abusive either. They’ve been a disgrace to the term professional. We were relegated largely because the club had points deducted due to the owners irresponsible financial management. Pure fact Going to that O’Neill event this week and listening to him talk about the moment the fans were calling for his head and protesting. But basically agreeing that the performances and results were worthy of criticism. It makes you realise how bloody snowflakes this whole precious thing about protests and this squad is. No grit, no desire, no energy. Just down tools rather than prove people wrong. MON’s team settled down, he described how Steve Walsh won a game single handed and Garry Parker became a massive part in it. Remember of course when Pearson started the ascent, Drinkwater cupped his ears towards the Leicester support in defiance and they really did work together to create something special. Anyone that’s been a fan of 30 plus years would do well to remember the O’Neill protest/comeback and the Shipman out shouts to which the players still stayed up when all looked down. Trying to pin a relegation on a section of fans protesting is so off with history, while at the same the ‘majority’ did nothing to try and elevate the atmosphere

Just get the obsession done with. They have had talks with him about the job three separate times. McCarron might as well not been appointed Worst / Best Outcome - he lasts six months, king power’s decision making further under scrunity, and the exit plans start to play out Best / Worst Outcome - we get promoted, but by November we are 22nd in the league and the club is more attractive for a manager and an owner Just get it over and done with

The constant repeat of every consultation document having the opening pages about communication needed to improve is a sign that it’s not improved. Further strengthening my belief that it was the strong protests and the crowd at the West Brom game which really pressed the club into action. Increasingly common that the fan engagement framework isn’t working. It’s words. No actions are being acted upon. Fundamental agreement on things such as the away priority scheme (which in turn directly affect ID checks situation - which is an irony I’ll come on to) have delayed by a year because of a survey where people who benefitted form status quo voted for the status quo because there was never a clear description of a proposed new system. The games which will be cause issues next season on away games are places such as Bromley or Cambridge where the allocations are so low. The issue is good luck finding somewhere at their ground on their biggest league fixture (in their history in the case of Bromley) which is willing to provide the facility with the agreement of the Police too (who at smaller grounds don’t want away fans hanging around for a hour before).

Imagine if the season ticket deadline was end of June and they appointed Martin before then 🤣🤣 They’ve been after Martin for years, let’s just get these six months out of the way with the useless twerp and move on

Yep and it's a very easy win with fans to give them a friendly in the summer they can look forward to. Whether that be home or away.

It doesn't need to be Top or Rudkin to do any communication. Davies & McCarron have been put into position to do that job. It's a constant point that the lack of information means a load of speculation gets put around. This is precisely why they wanted season tickets done and dusted by June. Because if the renewal deadline was mid June, more would have sacked it off by now.

I never really have an issue with the timezones. World Cup is truly international, they have years doing the same for European based ones. So many ways of catch the goals/highlights etc. In the process, bit like 2002, you get a load of memories thrown in - even the 11pm shift with England V Italy in 2014, where England's World Cup never got better than Sterling's goal. I see England's perfect path includes a 1am in Mexico.

They normally require a takeover to stop that slide however

Spot on Raj

Also Zia Yusuf is an insufferable idiot who karma will pay a heavy slice to over time

Utter disgrace by Reform. A total and utter disgrace

Wagner moved back to Germany for family as much as anything. I think his race is run in England now

Which is exactly what my post refers to in the second paragraph
