20 hours ago, Ric Flair said:Gave me the willies the first time I ever heard him talk about his footballing philosophy and almost every interview i've heard from him since has left me a mix of anger and astonishment. It's his delusion and borderline superiority and arrogance that I just cannot turn a blind eye too. Go and listen to his post match comments in the home and away games we absolutely destroyed his Southampton side under Enzo if you're in danger of getting all misty eyed. It was staggering.
The scary thing is, i've felt that from him when i've had absolutely no skin in the game as he's been at other clubs and I should have found it funny if anything like I do when i've heard the likes of Nathan Jones and Liam Rosenior but I just knew he'd end up here. I've never been sure of anything in my life.
I wish him no ill, I really hope i'm wrong about him and it's been a case of mistaken identity but people can fcuk off trying to patronise me that we can't form these opinions on someone. It's a basic human trait that might be wrong, might be right. Does he deserve a chance? Not for me he doesn't but what choice have we got now?
What I cannot get my head around is his footballing philosophy has had quite appalling success and yet his belief remains undeterred. He wasn't successful at Southampton, it was nothing more than par for the course and was then an abomination in the Prem. He did OK at Swansea but MK Dons his team instantly improved when he left and Rangers goes down as one of the worst managerial stints in the modern era.
What body of work there can give grounds to him being considered a dynamic and successful manager or that his foorballing IQ is unequivocally the way to go. He'll never land a job with the environment or resources in order to support such ideology so it's pointless. His best solution is to use the experience he has in the game to get the best out of the opportunities he does still land and see if that fairs better.
He recruits pretty well, gives young players a chance and can build a bit of a unity if players buy in to his authority so harness that with tactics that are not reckless and ill suited.
My phone will go out the window an'all when Gary Lineker lauds this a major coup.
A dark day for this football club, which is actually an achievement in itself given the bar they've set in recent years.
I'll be even further on the periphery now to save my own sanity. All the best for those who can still support it.
Totally agree (offer still there to join my LCFC sabbatical untill sacked Ric, 😁)
It not just his football philosophy , crap managerial record. and the on pitch bordem we will be subjected too that I dislike, but it him also.
The post match delusional rambling.
God, he loves the sound of his own voice.
He's an arrogant, blame shifting, stab his grandmother in the back to prove a point even if wrong, narcissistic fraud.
He will turn on us in a heartbeat when the chips are down.
In affect he a diluted Rodger's.. and like that odious little cretin who I detest the most in football ever (yes more than Peter Taylor) they both act and exude qualities and mannerisms that find repulsive in humans.
We had to suffer the sh1t under Rodgers, I personally don't want to suffer it again under this tw@t.

Martin's selection tells me that we will be a primarily youth driven team. Look for us to go get some premier league loans for younger players, to integrate players like Alves, Braybrooke and Page into the squad this season. We will need one if not two new CB's that are quicker, and much better on the ball (one if Nelson stays, two if he is sold). We will need a left back or right back to play the inverted midfield role as well. Winks will most likely stay unless we can sell him and get a better profile of player (not judging character here) to play that same role. And striker. We need 1-2 strikers. Any ideas who could fit those roles?
Nope, but it's no point asking our incompetent clowns in scouting and player recruitment as their track record proves they are just as clueless..

It's been as clear as day for the last few years. The decline, the inability to change and the obsession with a small number of deeply flawed managers such as Graham Potter and Russell Martin.
Someone come and switch me back on when this has run it's course.
Come and join me on my LCFC sabbatical until he's sacked.
As I've posted in other threads, I'm done with them until they do, that way I don't rip my nerves to shreds, and give myself high blood pressure and an ulcer.

1 hour ago, lcfc sheff said:I’m gonna be slightly positive about this. He’s had a lot of experience for a young manager, only problem is not ideal amount of success.
he is also a freebie and although most don’t like the style of football he plays it does match with what the club want to do which shows some sort of attempt of structure.
my reservations are rather with how we back him
Which the club currently doesn't have the players to make it truly effective or the resources to obtain the quality needed.
It's a system that is nullified with the opposing team just keeping it's defensive discipline, and waiting for the eventual fvck up at the back when one of the "passes for the sake of aimless possession" goes astray...
For me its not just the philosophy and brand of football he will adopt but the fact I can't stand the bloke. His voice irritates me, he talks total bollocks, and he's an arrogant blame shifting bell3nd, especially when chips are down.
He is polar opposite to what we need in every facit.

For me I can't find any real positives in appointing this B-Tec Rodgers.
IMO he's a crap manager - his record speaks for itself.
His brand of football IMO will struggle to work with the current crop of players. Or any new ones we can scrape together.
His brand of football IS BORING AS FVCK TO WATCH!
The bloke is a media whore, he loves the sound of his own voice, and once the going gets tuff due to his incompetence the Rodgers esq excuses will start to ooze out of the hole under his nose. Personally I don't want to hear it, it was bad enough hearing the grand master Rodgers doing it in his quest to get himself sacked for his pay off.
Nothing about appointing this fraud is worth the hassle and disruption he will bring not even, as some have joked, the only good things is his Mrs T1ts, we can see T1ts just by looking at the directors box come match day....

I mean this is not really true is it, the last 3-4 years the inexperienced Steven Schumacher, Kieran McKenna, Chris Davies, Brian Barry-Murphy and Michael Skubala have all got automatic promotion.
No, you make a valid point here. But on the same token having a been there, done it manager wouldn't really hurt ( and technically not wrong)

The obvious choice is Challinor.
I’m baffled we haven’t at least spoken to him.
Such an open goal to go for.
Our arrogance as a club is at the same level as Russell Martin.Challinor is a truly great shout..

Completely left field but what about Lilian Nalis.
Currently assistant at Rennes.
Spent his coaching career as an assistant.
Worked a lot with Franck Haise.
I know it’s prob unlikely but someone/anyone but Martin.
Much the same as the Fuchs debate. IMO both just not ready or experienced enough at present.
League One is a ba$tard to get out of and it needs a been there, done that at this level manager.
It pains me to say it but looking at a style that fits better with our group of clowns, actual experience, and past history, Darren Ferguson, whilst not glamorous, exciting, or ambitious, ticks a number of the boxes.
It won't be pretty, but on that same front it won't be numerous goals conceding after a million possession for the sake of it passes under the tw@t Russell Martins brand of coma inducing football.

They are still around on Facebook
I've given up even posting replies to posts like these. It's a futile.
Even if you challenge it with a simple. Look at where we are with regards to back to back relegations, League One status, points deductions due to financial incompetence, horrendous player and manager acquisitions, and all the other fvck up's they are blind to who is the route cause of it all.
All you get is the 'back the.lads', 'Kvnt Top.is great', 'go support someone else'. Blah Blah.
No real analysis of why we have these problems and how and who has caused them.
No acceptance we are in a real mess.

I don’t think there’s a doubt that he’s out number one choice though. Which is the big problem really because it’s simply not the direction we wanted the club to go in. Whether he accepts or not, we now know that’s the road the club want us to continue down…. It’s just all more evidence that we’ve learnt nothing and have no desire to change course.
what’s most alarming, is that if you read between the lines it likely means top thinks the issue was that the managers we hired were the reason for our downfall and not everything else. I think a full on reimagining should have been on the cards after crashing us to our lowest ever point
Spot on.
Your long term analysis for our direction I fear is unfortunately correct.
'Kvnt' Top on the other hand is it either too arrogant to admit Rudkin and himself are fallible and are plain and simple the route cause of our woes and the club current predicament, or too thick to understand this. (Personally I think it's a combination of both)
He won't change his view point on playing like a B-Tec Man City, as to do so after so long without any real sustained success (Enzoball at the start offered positive results untill it was 'sussed out' and, if we are all being honest scraped over the line for promotion) would need him to admit he's got it, and continuing to get it.wrong...
And whilst I think he's as thick as sh1t from one of his beloved Polo Nag,'s, he isn't that thick.

Not even if he does that.
Bar Rodger's I detest this cretin more than anyone currently in football.
The bloke is a parasite, stealing a wage masquerading as a manager. The BS that dribbles out of that fuzz covered hole under his nose at times is non sensical and others just so the clown can hear the sound of his own voice.
His manageral record is shocking, and the coma inducing brand of football he is wedded too makes my pi$$ boil.

Come on lets get Martin appointed. This will be the best way to fast track the decline and quicken the departure of these cretins.

Amen to that!
Let's hope it's a truly horrific start and "Kvnt" Top and the rest of the clowns involved smell the coffee early on, do a Rangers, and sack the tw@t ASAP.
Then I can end my sabbatical and get back involved.

If it's Martin, I'm protesting on my own outside the KP with a bit of my wife's favourite bed sheet with F**k off Russell!
There that should stop him.
I'll come and hold the other side of.the sheet mate.

Felt he was always likely to leave. But if the Monga wonga means we are less likely to have to sell the likes of Page, Aluko or Nelson even, for example, then I’m at peace with it.
I agree.
He's definitely a talent, but also a ' flair player' in a position we do have more experience players fulfilling.
Whilst it's a shame to (possibly) see him go, he's not irreplaceable.

He's probably about the 12th name on their list. They'll start working their way down it soon, crossing names off like Klopp, Slot etc until they are left with Rowett in the middle of July, who will then stick two fingers up at them as he's accepted a job at Lincoln
Fine be me.
Rowett is not the answer as his 3 month's or so 'try before you buy' clearly showed.

Thing is I think a lot of the way we play is dictated by Rudkin, I’m not sure the managers have much say which is why we struggle to attract managers and the ones we have don’t change much. We haven’t really changed for 2 years, despite it evidently not working. It feels more than a manager/coach problem.
Surly his arm doesn't stretch that far?
You could well be spot on, but what's the point of shelling out millions in compensation packages just to rinse and repeat with a different managerial face.
I'm genuinely interested in how you have come to your conclusion (not spoiling for and argument)
