I'm not a fan of Martin but in fairness our fans have destroyed basically anyone who's ever been a success at this club at some point.

Agree with you that the way they've handled it is so bad and takes the term papering over the cracks to a whole new level. Rudkin is still showing no signs of changing either. I expect them to have offered Martin plenty of money to operate way beyond our means again. But, as we are seeing now, there wasn't time for a big rebuild. They needed to get out straight away. It's just a shame they thought they needed to do it with signings with money we didn't have.

There's plenty more beans in the tin

Winks was reported as 60 risking to 90k with promotion and Coady 50k. Still hideous wages to be handing out for the Championship and to give a player like Coady an extension when he didn't even play that often in the league below. I sit in a dark room every night and think about every aspect of this decline. I can't remember the last time I bothered to heat up baked beans. Straight from the tin on the floor. Wife left me, took the kids. Still, least we have Martin.

Martin wouldn't accept a job in League One without being firmly involved in recruitment. Rudkin still being here is all you need to see if you're judging how much we have learned. While he is here it will always be about operating beyond our means to the point where we just can't any more.

"Add our own story" But I thought all the Premier League win was yours Rudders? They look like 3 teachers telling you what room to go to on parents evening.

You usually get the complementary thanks for your hard work. Don't get uptight with me man.

This was something I found noticeable. It is so reminiscent of when Enzo got the job in the Championship in the way we are acting with this. From memory though Enzo did at least acknowledge where we were, albeit to say we should never be a Championship club. Rudkin flaunting the Championship trophy that time round at that parade really irked me. A division we should never have been in at the time and got back out with a Premier League squad that spent money we didn't have. All the same mistakes are being made this time and yet again Rudkin is there smiling away like he's achieving something.

Didn't even thank him. Ouch. It's funny considering they were absolutely going to give him next season if they missed out on their first few targets. As is usually the case.

I might be reading too much into it but the fact Martin repeatedly goes on about the season ticket sales means Rudkin is probably going round Seagrave bragging about it like it's another one of his achievements. I expect it boastfully on his Linkedin alongside Vertu Trophy round of 16 by the end of the year.

Rudkin does speak then

The equivalent of giving your wife the credit card to spend in Primark this is

Them Spanish fans clapping must be off Ausden Clark coach 1

If it does fail you can guarantee the like of @RedSoxUK will be telling us he just needed 7 years to implement his style in order to beat *checks notes* Mansfield and Notts County.

Anyone who doesn't believe in one way of playing, with no alternatives despite everyone being able to see how easy it is to play against, is basically gaslit into being told they're a dinosaur.

Not a chance he's taken this without being promised money by the way. The Enzo scenario all over again. Give him the players he wants to make it look like all is well. Tell him at Christmas that there's actually a massive financial hole so from now on he won't have any money. Report record losses. Forever have articles about points deductions. Rinse and repeat. Never learn KPFC.

This is pretty much my only hope. I'm now resigned for football I hate but just hope we will be too good for the division in same way Enzo's squad was before he was found out. Then hopefully he's sacked early on in Championship. We can only hope.

Didn't he recommend Emma Hayes last to them because we would "sell all our season tickets" after we'd of course sold all our season tickets for the last 12 years.

You're right but I think there was definitely instructions from Rudkin to try and phase the title winners out quickly. I'd put Rodgers down as one of the most catastrophic managers in our history for the damage he left but he made a lot of good calls early on and the likes of Kasper, Vardy and Morgan all had respect for him. Which they clearly didn't for Puel.

Oh we have enough of them "I don't care about England I don't" types who will be willing to show everyone just how much they don't by travelling there first class on Ausden Clark's finest.

Seen he follows Rupert Lowe and Farage on Instagram. He was the new Wayne Brown.
