Lewis's Junior

I want him to go as much as the rest of you, but I can't see it until at the earliest mid-January; the board will drag their feet even more than they normally do given the club is up for sale. Many of them are I am sure are secretly happy that Martin is receiving the fan's ire as opposed to them. And sacking him now would be underline they've got the appointment and much of the transfer business wrong.

My only hope is it would be incompetence of the highest order if he was sacked 1 league game after a 3 week international break..... .....which is on brand for our board.

What's the German for "can't hit a cow's arse with a banjo?"

Or, has been suggested, we've been for sale for a while but it has only been made public now. That would tally with those internal promotions; no point going out and recruiting externally if new owners will bring in their own execs. (I appreciate bringing in McCarron weakens this theory) If we're all honest though, Top and having a plan don't tend to go well together. I expect a disjointed mess, which will only deter potential buyers further.

This has got to be a Boro reaction to Spygate; let's not spy / watch / scout anybody ever again, just take a punt.

You'd think after the last 4 years of shit show there would be several windows vying for the 'worst ever' award. I think this is about right though. Although the combined no signings in summer followed by Faes, Kristansen, Tete, Souttar in Jan whilst going down by only 2 points has to be up there.

£15m would be absolute daylight robbery. I'm convinced he'll be here til the last day of his contract.

Are we to Wrexham what Southampton are to us??

Or the more likely - we are paying him top 6 championship wages!

This better not block BDCR's route to the first team, I'll be livid

It feels like we've had more fans of former clubs of his coming on to this forum to point and laugh then we've had before. Maybe I am being overly sensitive! Little point in perpetuating the negativity; I'm sure even if everyone gives him a chance, his football and comments will have everyone against him before the clocks change. Ultimately the problems at the club are far deeper than him. Unless there's a serious clear out and a strategy that is deeper than "Ask ChatGPT", it's hard to believe anybody in charge will be able to do much.

I still can't work out how to rank Rodgers, McGivern and Thomas. Shite, shiter and shitest, but in which order??

Some thoughts on this: The narrative arc ended at the 2016 title win. Just as important IMO is the longevity he showed for the next 6 years, hitting the 20 goal mark whether we were good or average, highest scoring player in the Prem over 30 Shame they didn't ask him more about loyalty to Leicester; was sort of implied but more to the story than that Too much Rebekah for my liking, others may disagree Without missing an opp to stick the boot in to the current shit show: He was still playing for us this time last year; yet nobody at the club currently was either sought (Vardy didn't want to?) or would agree to it. Either way, that's a disgrace How the **** did we end up with Wes Morgan being interviewed at the City Ground? And what looks like Dave Rennie in the Notts dressing room? I assume because the club refused access to their facilities. Again I mainly felt sad towards the end. Sad that structures and culture built by Nigel have been dismantled or decayed.

When Luke Thomas is getting in ahead of you, and that's the right decision, then League One is the ceiling not the floor.

I may have misremembered but didn’t he get his first ACL the season or two before that challenge?
