The club U-Turned on Jesse Marsch when fans turned. It's not too late. I really like everything about Martin apart from his god awful football.

Atleast there is a silver lining everyone. It's the last time we see the likes of Soumare in a Leicester shirt -

Can we make you head of social media at LCFC? -
Im chaining myself to the ground if it's to make way for Martin.

Aluko looks quite nimble for such a tall frame. Hopefully we have another gem in him

Great start to the game then an expected quiet spell away fro home, I don't think we've been too bad.

Really surprised that Will Still has had to drop to the Championship, don't get me wrong it will likely be a prem club in 12 months time, but given the work Still has done in France I'm surprised he has dropped down the Championship, i'd have imagined top flight clubs would have gone for him.

If Sunderland fall short today, what are peoples thoughts on Regis Le Bris?

Seen it a lot recently, I don't mind constructive criticism but there's been so much personal abuse towards people. I saw people getting personal to Luke Thomas of all people in one of the match threads recently, I'd even go as far to say personally abusing Rudkin is ridiculous, criticise his role in the club and his performance, but personally abusing someone who has been with the club a long time and was also a large part of our recent successes is just getting toxic. Ruud has been a massive target for that crowd too, and how can we forget Steve Cooper. I get it, the club is a mess and we are all frustrated, but there's no need to get personal about it.

I watched the Lineker interview back last night, he shows a fair bit of emotional intelligence and understanding of players and football, but it's so frustrating. Everything about that interview is something I can get behind APART from the playstyle. If it is Martin, I believe he would leave the club in a far more sustainable position than what he would be inheriting, and I don't mind going up then coming back down as part of a long term continuity plan where we build sustainably without needing £150m spending sprees then massive clear outs when we go down, Martin is pretty much everything I want from a manager apart from the style. I can envision a situation where if we do sign RM, in 12 months we will have a lower wage bill, a younger squad with a lot more potential and an identity, I just think he would then get sacked 6 months later in the prem, but we would definitely be in a stronger position for a new boss to take over.

Ruud van Nistelrooy - New Manager - Official

I think he has yeah. It's such a complex issue at Wednesday so it's hard to tell where the loss of support is coming from, because both the performances over the last 3 months and Danny's general attitude to the media questions have changed. I think the fans have lost a bit of support on both fronts really, prior to recently Rohl had almost encased the fans and squad in his own little bubble where they essentially just got behind each other despite the boards antics, now it feels like that bubble isn't there anymore? not sure if that makes any sense or not. The performances collapsing I think is a mixture of having a pretty weak team where they have had a player incoming and outgoing of about 30 players since last summer with a total spend of about £5m, so rough patches can happen, add to that the fact players and staff have no idea if they are even getting paid that week, as well as general fan frustration when the owner is telling the fans they need to fundraise to repay the loans because he's not paying them anymore, promising to sell then not making attempts to get a deal done etc etc, Wednesday have just become really toxic. The part that I'm still confused about, is have the performances dropped because of the toxicity, or have they dropped because of the system Danny has created or the players simply not good enough? The first 15 months of his time there were stellar, an incredible turn around, the last few have been toxic. I still think Danny is a hell of a talent and a fresh environment could bring him back to his best and see him challenge for the prem with us, no doubt about that. -

Quite possibly, and I can fully justify him doing that at Wednesday too, the worrying part is after about 3 weeks I could justify him doing that with us also -

Not sure if the response was related to mine from earlier but just incase wanted to clarify, I don't question his loyalty, and working under Chansiri is a nightmare, I'm just slightly concerned about the nature of some of his interviews where he has come out and said he's made his position clear to the chairman but refuses to say what that position is, but at the same time is giving interviews abroad where he gives the impression he's done at Wednesday. It just feels a little bit "off" with the way he's handled it. I know a lot of sheffield wednesday fans have been quite surprised by his general attitude change in the last few weeks, mainly because Chansiri hasn't changed, it's been a mess since he arrived but towards the end of the season it seems Rohl has become a little bit more relaxed in voicing his opinions. I'm all for calling out Chansiri for sure, I just hope this is out of necessity to escape that club rather than him having a completely different personality to the one who arrived at Wednesday, especially given what a mess our club is. I fully support Rohl on this, but the sudden change in his attitude was quite surprising. -

I'm just desperately hoping that if we do get him this recent behaviour has come from survival instinct with the way Chansiri is running the club because my impression is Wednesday fans are quite shocked by how he's behaved over the last couple of months. -

Is now a bad time to say Rohl has concerned me a bit recently with his behaviour? For context, Wednesday's form has collapsed in the last few months, that happens especially when you're working on a shoestring and players have has periods where they haven't been paid, so I can somewhat accept a bad run of form with the clown show that is Chansiri. However, Rohl is clearly trying to force his way out at the moment, he's given multiple interviews abroad essentially confirming he's off, and actively talking about speculation with bigger clubs. Don't get me wrong, I'd still want Rohl however his recent behaviour has come as a bit of a shock to Wednesday fans, it just depends whether it can be justified, given how Chansiri runs Wednesday and his recent antics, it could be that more has gone on behind the scenes that we don't know about and Rohl is desperately trying to get out for his own career, Chansiri will drag him down if he doesn't get out, but I'm quite surprised/concerned by how he's done it. Is Rohl the absolute best we can do? Right now I'm not too sure. If the ink hasn't touched paper yet i'd still go for Will Still at the eleventh hour, I didn't expect him to drop to the championship so didn't consider him. -

The issue is, it’s all good and well fans singing they don’t want Martin, but then when the club announce Ruud they will hate them too, I think we should split the fanbase up into 32 sections in the away end and each section gets 3 minutes to sing their preferred candidates name, this would be not only fair but would give Rudkin a chance to write down 32 new names that he’s never heard of. -
Whoah whoah steady on, needs 25 passes before we consider that.

Yep would take Hassenhuttl right now. Southampton are still trying to recover from him being sacked. The obvious Leicester and United was it? thrashings were embarrassing, but he was keeping them above water make no mistake.

Seriously everyone all of this “Ruud out” joking has gone too far now. Top thinks we are serious and look who he’s lining up. Stop messing around please. -
KPFC please, we will behave we promise, just give RVN a 5 year deal and we will stop causing a fuss we are sorry

The media are so frustrating in times like these. It's impossible to know if all of the big media companies are just bandwagoning on the Football Insider article or if there is multiple sources all saying the same thing. Football Insider have said "sources", the Mail have not said who their source is at all (but the post came after Football Insider), Talksport "understands" based on what? The BBC so far have been the only source with any sort of backbone to actually point out that Football Insider is the source they are basing their article on. It just feels like one blog site posts something, then a couple of media companies jump on the bandwagon to farm clicks, before you know it it's nailed on because all of the "most reputable" media companies are giving it credibility by writing about it despite not knowing if it's actually true or some story that came from Jay Cartwrights contacts at the FA. I understand that media organisations sometimes need to hide sources, but it takes the piss when they constantly spread information based on rumours they haven't verified. Sorry, the thought of these organisations giving this story credibility is scaring me, Rant over
