Defending and fitness have been huge issues for years and i’m surprised we’ve not sorted it. If we at least fixed fitness a lot more would follow and we wouldnt be as in the mire as we are. At this point the whole sports science and fitness teams need binning, a complete reset they’ve been stealing a living for years.

Now now. Seagrave hasnt had her way with him properly yet.

They board it because we pay well and chances are you will get a long contract, work 8 months of it but still get paid the full 3-4 years.

True to an extent but giving them that opportunity also comes with the responsibility of developing them and protecting them and not just going out in front of the media and blaming them. He gets the personal abuse from some because of his personality, he’s arrogant, egotistical and never responsible unless its positive. I’m sure he has many good traits but in a high profile job like football management these are the ones that stick out and are the ones hes judged by. We’ve had many crap managers over recent years and none of them really get the personal level of abuse because they were good men just bad at their jobs. This latest interview of his is very cynical and manipulative, he knows hes under pressure so he plays the mental health card to try and distract from some very valid criticisms and muddy the waters. As ive said, he brings it on himself and either way come rain or shine he will be paid millions for the opportunity.

He’s throwing young players under the bus and playing the mental health card a month into a very well paid job. He brings it on himself.

People just love to bootlick, you see it in all walks of life, politics, work, sport the list goes on. There will always be people ready and willing to please master no matter how badly he treats them. Theres nothing to be done you just have to accept these types exist and dont waste your energy on them.

The woe is me act is very tiresome and disingenuous but some people will buy it and use it as an excuse to vilify any criticism against him. He knew what he was doing saying that, personally i think even lower of him now than i did before, very very manipulative man.

This was always going to happen. The noises coming out the club for a while now indicated they thought he was Brendan Mark II and they’d strike gold when they land him. We’ve just got to ride it out and finally get it out of the way. This is the last roll of the dice for the ‘KP way’. Once it fails again there is no where to hide.

With how desperate KP were to sign him you just know the contract is bigger than it should be. It was a win win for Martin. Get the job that either relaunches his career or secures him financially for life if he fails.

This is different. Rodgers had a lot of credit in the media, pundits were still calling him world class at the time he left us. It was his second stint in Celtic that finally wised everyone up to him. The similarities are in ego. RM is pure ego and he will never ever deviate from what he ‘believes in’. All he believes in is the lovely puff piece in the media if he ever proves someone wrong (he wont).

People will log on here within the next 48 hours and shame any who are against him. Its wild.

Well well well…

He was actually gifted thats the thing, some of the clubs linked with him when he was a youth prospect were insane. Don’t think hes as arrogant as people on here are making out but he was a big part of a culture that prioritised their social lives before their careers. Hopefully with him gone now we can reset that culture at the club a little.

At some point he had something about him and could have gone on to become a good premier league player but like many before him he prioritised his social life over reaching his potential. Hes been going through the motions here for years, maybe a move will be good for him.

Without any sense of irony this game is a must win.

The copium has been abused these past few days for sure.

I think this will be our best signing for years.

We’re still going to get caught out but its much easier to swallow when we dont look as guff.

Finally some sense in this thread. I know things are bad now but we cannot tolerate a rehabilitation and revision of Wout Faes image and ability.

I suspect (Faes and Skipp aside) that many of the players are a lot better than they are showing and would likely perform better in a system that doesnt give them as much time to overthink and over complicate their game.

Related and a completely legitimate threat. If there are any officers of the law reading this my name is Russell Martin and I manage Leicester City football club.

I bet he’s on at least 5 figures a week too. Sickening.

Last time we signed a european cb when we were in League One it went quite well. If this lad does his acl though i will car bomb seagrave myself.

I’m still seeing and hearing a lot of ‘Be careful what you wish for’ and ‘grass isnt always greener’ etc etc. These lot will have a field day if new owners dont hit the ground running. It doesnt make sense. But then again people on the flip side will say we don’t get the title win or fa cup without King Power. They’ve done fantastically well for us in the past but they have overstayed by about 5 years. Should have sold up directly after covid when we were at our most valuable.

Funny how things work out. The club wanted to avoid overpaying and running into financial trouble but if they had just took the risk and put their hands in their pockets the difficulties we’ve had in recent years likely wouldnt have happened.
