Through the lens of King Power and pals needing to leave our club, this appointment actually moves it on quite a bit. If his reign is as bad as we expect, it will help to turn a lot more on the fence City fans against the ownership as well as put KP under great media scrutiny and financial pressure. That sounds ok to me. If Martin proves us wrong and actually does a good job then we get some respite from the decline.

The guy has been in post for about 6 weeks and not a word out of the club as far as I have seen. To think that even loan players who don't make it off the bench get sit down interviews and the full social media treatment, and here is a senior position and nothing. He might have changed his mind for all we know and left. The club is a total shambles.

The club is in a death spiral. Totally the wrong man at the wrong time with the wrong players to execute his outdated style. It makes no sense from any angle you view it from.

Absolute shambles. This guy's 'philosophy', which he will change for nobody in any situation, is a weak imitation of a style introduced by Pep and other Spanish tactician. That philosophy has been moved on from because it is not pleasant on the eye and reduces fiitball to a game of dot-to-dot. Even if it was still en vogue, you need the players to execute. It's such an unimaginative appointment that will drive a wider divide between the club and fans but maybe that's the plan here.

I bet other clubs and agents just laugh at us for the contracts and wages we dish out. He is a £10k a week player at best yet he was on £50k in the Prem wasn't he? Maybe that is down to £20k or £25k now with relegation clauses but still totally undeserved. This club is the pits.

We will continue to rot and decline while we have the same useless ownership and board. Until the vast majority of fans realise that and either get protesting or stop going, then nothing will change.

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

Great post. It wouldn't suprise me if it's not about paying out compensation, but more about not wanting the hassle of approaching someone in work. They would have to negotiate with other clubs for permission to talk to, they would have to convince the manager to leave and tell him what the plan was. KPFC do the easy thing that takes minimal brain power, which is why we only appoint out of work manager's who want the job.

Appointing Martin makes the day these awful people pi$$ off for good arrive sooner so let's get this done.

No i don't think there is a conscious plan to destroy us, he is just letting us rot.

I am convinced that Top is trying to tank the club. He hasn't got the minerals to sell it up so is letting it slowly die. Administration will be his get out and the excuse will be Covid, PSR, the nasty FA and all the ungrateful fans who didn't support him. The fact he doesn't live in the same country as the club he is in charge of is the biggest clue.

The club is in crisis and everybody has gone on holiday. It truly is laughable how bad this regime is. If there is any crumb of comfort to the pain we are feeling right now, is that they won't be here forever and they will either run out of cash or interest or even more likely that their hand will be forced by administration. Every day brings us closer to the end.

No it is the same awful way of doing things year on year without ever learning from the countless mistakes they have made. Maybe McCarron has been told there will be no media engagement involving him as it will look bad on Rudkin for never having done it. Consistently opaque.

These lot just don't care at all. No accountability, no communication, no sign of any work being done. The new man McCarron hasn't even formally been introduced to fans. That was an easy piece of business to get done to take the heat off Rudkin while he gets on with the graft of getting these big contracts off the balance sheet by offering players, discussing mutual terminations etc (lolz). It feels like they have given up just as us fans have in trying to get them out.

The biggest endorsement to an ownership is ticket sales and while we will be naturally down on last season, the romoured sales are certainly not a disaster for the club. Another botched managerial appointment, a failure to rid many of the high earners, a poor start to the league might be enough to cut through the apathy and get a few more to turn. A lot of fans still think this is a blip and Top will turn it around.

It does raise the question why we are all so accepting of the situation. There is such a resignation among the fanbase, that we are powerless to do anything about it.

Tony Mowbray would be great for us. Not sure he would stand for Rudkin and the disfunction

5,000 would be a good number to take to the club.

It's expecting a response to a crisis from someone within the organisation.

I am a bit suprised really because even though they are clearly idiots, it is obvious to all that we are in a real mess and headed for administration. I understand face saving is very important in Thai culture so putting this right should be the highest priority. Having the club taken out of his hands by force and every assest being sold, all at the the place where his father was both successful and lost his life, would be be the ultimate public embarrassment for Top wouldn't it? So yes, I am a bit suprised we are not seeing an urgent response.

17 days and nothing. I am finding myself getting angrier by the day. I mean, how is Rowett still here? Rudkin has either gone on holiday or they are undecided about GR leaving. This whole regime is just so w@nk. I can't see us avoiding administration but that's probably the only way we get rid of them.

4k hit but membership is only at 2k I believe so around 2k have not taken the option of a free membership. That is bizarre. The numbers are great - keep up the good work FT.

Has this Apichet fella ever done anything of importance at the club or is he just there for the good times like groupies at a 70's Top of the Pops recording? According to Copilot he provides "high-level governance, stability and strategic oversight."

I live and work in Nottingham mate. This situation is just unbearable.

2 weeks ago tonight that we were relegated. 14 days has already elapsed of the most crucial close season in the club's history. We are heading for extinction and these lot can't even announce the departure of an out of contract manager they aren't going to keep. They are just incapable of learning from their many mistakes. Just get out.
