Dude chill out. I want Marti gone as much as anyone but it ain't happening. We cant afford to pay the bills so no chance we can afford to sack another manager.

Is corriedale on? Asking for a friend

Thats not what I said is it? I said hes a terrible manager but id rather have him than Martin, who is also terrible. I'm not defending Marti, hes crap. But under no circumstances would i ever want Russell Martin here and anyone who says different needs their head testing.

He absolutely would not. Both are terrible managers but at least Marti is slightly likeable. Martin is utterly hideous.

Literally no point making this thread hot. We cant afford to pay the feckin bills, so we have zero chance of being able to afford to sack him. Add in the fact that our alternative would be Russell Martin and we just accept that we have a shit manager that has been dealt a shit hand and a completely unbalanced squad. Edit: im aware my comment is adding to the thread being hot

I'm more annoyed that we've gifted them 3 points towards promotion. I thought Coventry were garbage and we should have been 3-0 up at ht. 2 utterly shite goals gifted to them and a weak as piss 2nd half performance. Rank

Ref has totally lost the plot here

This is going to be a grim 2nd half.

Dont worry guys, we've got Daka to bring on. They only have Wright and Thomas Asante to bring on.

What a garbage goal

Decent side Cov but cant help but feel their keeper is a big reason they are at the top. We should have beaten them at our place but for him and hes already made a decent save off Bobby today. Helps massively when you have a top keeper.

Changing formation would mean playing 3 centre backs and we dont have enough availabile centre backs to do that until Souttar returns

I'm not sure Marti had much choice but to play Faes at the start of the season. Nelson wasn't fully fit at the start and then Okoli got injured, so not sure he had much choice. I dont think he would have wanted to play Faes if we had other options.

3-0 to leicester Said no one ever

Maybe Marti is going full Rodgers to try and make a point he needs new signings. Rodgers kept playing Ward and Amartey even though they were woeful and Marti keeps picking Thomas, although he doesn't have many other options other than playing Ricardo or Hamza out of position or Aluko who looked awful and got sent off when he played left back.

I get what you're saying but a bit harsh on Bobby Reid, hes been pretty decent this season. But yeh other than the players you mentioned, the rest are pretty awful.

What lies? Monaco have an absolutely appalling centre back pairing. Dier is actually worse than your beloved 🤣. I'd genuinely take Vestergaard, Nelson and Okoli over them 2 🤣

Incredible that Monaco have a worse centre back pairing than we do 🤣

Yeh fair enough. And to be fair, as regards the loopholes around hotels, women's teams etc, the reason we probably havent tried anything like this is because it would require Top/KP to fund it which they can't/won't. I'm certainly not trying to find any excuses, part of me wants them to throw the book at us to show Top and his board of clowns for the incompetent muppets that they are.

We haven't done well by ignoring them at all. Our success happened before we started spending stupid money. Rodgers was given too much power and he made us scrap our policy of selling a key player every year to fund new signings. We thought we would make champions league and be able to afford it and we didn't and we couldn't. And the ridiculous relegation destroyed us and then forced us to sell all our best players. Not making excuses as we've been ran terribly and made shocking signings and had god awful players on horrendous wages that we can't shift. Whilst we haven't kept within the spending rules, we haven't tried to find loopholes like selling hotels and women's teams and we have actively been reducing our wage bill for the last 2 years and haven't spent a penny on new signings since summer 2024

I get what youre saying, and I don't and haven't hated players because they are shit. I hate players that have an attitude, cause problems or think they are bigger than the club. Faes and Winks fall firmly in this category. Dennis Wise was a massive bell end to be fair and was his whole career.

Surprised Chilwell hasn't been mentioned. The way he celebrated his disallowed goal in the cup final was feckin disgusting!

The Top sympathisers will be saying that boycotts are dwindling attendances are the reason why we've no money.

According to transferfeed (bollocks I know) here's our shortlist of cams.

I mean if we failed PSR for 23-24 and put the KDH money into those accounts and then go ahead and fail 24-25 (when we could have moved the KDH money into those accounts) then the level of incompetence far exceeds anything we already thought was possible..
