Top clearly wanted that two years ago when he appointed Enzo – a progressive coach, possession-based football and then completely panicked last season with Cooper. No direction, no identity. Martin’s football won’t suit everyone, but we’ve got players who are keen to play that way and actually capable of doing it at Championship level. Think about how Winks, Mavididi, Ricardo, and could thrive ago in a high-possession, build-from-the-back system. Yes, it’d need serious recruitment if we go back up. You can’t rock up to the Prem with a budget version of that style and expect to stay up. But that’s true of most managers we could bring in. The difference with Martin is you know what you're buying into. The way his teams play is clear, structured, and it does in fact work when given the time and tools. He’s not another dinosaur saying gerrit forward. So might not be perfect, but it’s a plan. And after the last couple of years, that would be a massive step in the right direction. FYI - Im sober and havent fit into a pair of skinny jeans since 2016 So does Rohl and its much better than the out of date Martin ball.

I don't think it's the very worst appointment we could make but it's one I would struggle to muster any enthusiasm for whatsoever and would do very little to dispel either the general feeling of misery around the club or the sense that the people running it do so with as little effort and imagination as possible. Fair points, I genuinely get where you’re coming from. If things start rocky it could turn toxic quickly. That’s the risk with any manager who brings a distinct style. But I’d argue that sticking with no style or trying to please everyone leads us nowhere – which is exactly where we ended up last season. As for the Premier League I agree it could get nasty. But so could any other appointment. There’s no “safe” choice that guarantees success in both leagues. You either roll the dice on someone with a plan and back it properly, or you just keep reacting and firefighting. 1

Jazzy_Jeff Posted 28 May 2025 Posted 28 May 2025 Could this be this years Potter > Cooper. Rohl being the dream with Martin backup?

CrazyKopCorner Posted 28 May 2025 Posted 28 May 2025 Almost anyone but Ruud and Martin but my lad says Rohl's the best option for us and he's never wrong where LCFC's concerned.

Jazzy_Jeff Posted 28 May 2025 Posted 28 May 2025 If compensation is paid for a manager does it work in the same way as buying a player regarding PSR? if he cost us £3m and we gave him a 3yr contract is that £1m per year?
Happy Fox Posted 28 May 2025 Author Posted 28 May 2025 £2m compensation from next Friday once we are a championship club it will get done you would imagine

winteriscoming Posted 28 May 2025 Posted 28 May 2025 Rohl is this summer’s Corberan. We will end up with Martin.

Baffling the club still refuse to pay for managers probably higher up the wanted list opting for the “cheaper option” in employing an out of work manager…. Before sacking them off 4 months later paying out more to get rid of the cheaper option than it would to appoint the better fit and pay the compo Edited 28 May 2025 by dbtcity 1

FoxinNotts Posted 28 May 2025 Posted 28 May 2025 I would prefer Rohl over RM and obviously over RVN, but I don’t know why 😂 Can someone please sum up why Rohl stock is so high, in a few sentences?
