It's funny because we have a squad that would probably be better suited to him in the championship than the other extreme which is someone like Sean Dyche. Most of us would happily see most of this squad binned off, but that's not going to happen and if it's a case of getting a manager suited to a our current playing squad to get us out of the championship, then he's a strong candidate, whether we like it or not.

I find Russell Martin rather dislikeable. However, most teams in the championship couldn't live with his Southampton side. They went on a 25 game unbeaten streak. If the objective is to get promoted, then we could do a lot worse. I'm almost certain we'd be go straight back down if we did go up and we kept him though.

If I didn't renew I'd probably still end up going to at least 13/14 games. At that point it's cheaper to have a season ticket.

Branthwaite had played a few games Premier League games at Everton before Dyche had turned up.

To have endured what we've endured this season and to still have people turning their noses up at a manager that has two promotions under his built as well as a track record of keeping teams in the Premier League is mental to me. My only issue with Dyche is that he doesn't strike me as having a great track record of bringing through younger players. None immediately spring to mind other than Dwight McNeil.

Masturbating furiously, smoking weed and drinking in the park, listening to metal and watching us lose 5-1 at Forest with Wayne Brown and Jack Hobbs trying to defend with a highline. Obviously this wasn't all simultaneously.

It's so small time. We're not a club like Huddersfielld, Luton or Barnsley who would be punching well above their if they were in the premier league. I wish we had higher standards and a bit more pride.

The bar is so low that I think Russell Martin wouldn't be the worst option. I find him very dislikeable and I wouldn't want him as pur manager, but most sides in the championship couldn't live with his Southampton side. He'd have us up towards the top of the table competing at least. If we did get promoted it'd be a waste of time though. Well out of his depth at this level.

All talk. Louder groans for a pass backwards than for chants against the people responsible for this absolute shitshow. Pathetic.

He's not to blame for the sorry state the club finds itself in but he is a truly dreadful manager. He's a symptom rather than a cause. He still needs to go.

Yeah, Plymouth away, Milwall away, Bristol City away, West Brom at home and QPR at home were all sensational...

I feel like people are conveniently forgetting his final 12 or so games here. It was dreadful.

Yeah, that never sat right with me. I always hoped that our first statue, especially one that is in the most visible location immdeiately outside the stadium, would be of a player or a manager.

For the first two seasons it unquestionably was their aim to just stay in the league. As I said, he wouldn't be my first choice, but I certainly don't think he'd be a disaster.

He was a success at Everton. He achieved exactly what he was brought in to achieve. He kept them in the league for two seasons running, and one of seasons they had 9 points deducted. They would have comfortably stayed up under him this season. He'd taken them as far as he could and his football wasn't very inspiring but most Everton fans acknowledge that he did a decent job under difficult circumstances for the first year and a half at least, but it was right to move on. I don't want him to be our manager, mainly because I'd like to see us promote some academy players and I'm not sure he would be as interested in that. However, I wouldn't be devastated if we appointed him. We would at least have a clear way of playing and we would have a team that applies itself under him. It's not much, but it's a start at least.

It will be Russell Martin. I'm convinced.

At least Puel was interested in bringing some academy players into the first team. RvN has nothing to lose now and he's still sticking with this group of dossers. I'm not saying field all of the u23s but why not have a couple on the bench and givevthem minutes and plan for the future?

First time an English manager has won a major trophy in England since 2008.

Leeds went from a champions league semi-final to bottom of League 1 within 6 years. Portsmouth went from winning the FA cup to League 2 in a similar timeframe. Nevertheless, the decline has still been remarkable.

He was setup to fail, I have no doubt about that. However, he is a terrible terrible manager. This squad is bad, but to lose 13 out of 14 and not score in 7 home games is unacceptable. He's made them even worse.

He might just be in the top five worst signings we've ever made when you consider the transfer fee, wages etc.

Whether or not Vardy is the best English player to have played for us is up for debate. However, he is undoubtedly the greatest player to have ever played for us, if that makes sense.

I won't sat that Savage was better than King. I can't bring myself to say it as much as anything. You are correct that he was a better player for us than many would like to remember because he's a bit of a *****. A limited footballer by his own admission but was very effective in his role.

It is mad when you think that he had a season in the championship where he scored 15 goals as a midfielder and didn't get a premier league move though.

I literally chose to work instead of watching us today. Fully worth it. I have tomorrow off as a result.
