Russell Martin

It was always a case of going the imaginative route(Rohl) or playing it unimaginatively safe(Martin, Dyche). 
 

Will all depend if they want to pay Rohl out of Sheff Wed, but as we know, they wouldn’t do it for Corberan. 
 

Then you’re left with the free option list, which I’ve classed many times as uninspiring. Even looking past Martin and Dyche, the likes of O’Neil and Hasenhuttl are nothing to get excited about, the likes of Cleverley and Selles were harshly sacked by their previous clubs, but it’s unlikely that we’d even consider them, and a manager who’s only managed overseas never seems to be on our radar. 
 

If it’s Martin then it just boils down to two things, 1) A Championship promotion on his CV and 2) Plays the style that Top seems to love. 
 

This is the equivalent of Leeds appointing Farke and Burnley appointing Parker, they may have looked like the uninspiring options, but at least they have a Championship promotion on their CV. 

 

Martin could well do a decent enough job for us in the Championship, he may even get us out of it, but as I’ve said before, the Premier League is evolving, where his style especially if you’re a newly promoted team is becoming borderline obsolete, and that’s the worry I have if he gets us that far.

No chance is it going to be Danny Rohl. Its going to be the easy, free agent choice like Cooper was last year instead of paying out compo (Corbean). Nice to see they’ve wasted 6 weeks ‘out of respect’ for the new manager to prepare for next season. 100% Top and his loyalty. Bloke has zero ruthless streak in business like his dad

Not even sure Rohl would want the job anyway. At a big club now in the Championship and why would you leave to join a club in disarray and points deductions on the cards.

Sheff Wed’s owner is even more mental / crap (somehow)

 

They have issues paying the wages

Maybe the club knows that the PL cannot impose a points deduction on us next season and will inform him of that?

Sheffield Wednesday are in far more disarray then us. Their players didnt get paid at times last year. Play in a stadium that is falling down as well

It was always going to be Russell Martin. These are the clowns who were going to appoint Jesse Marsch after sacking Rodgers way too late after all.

 

Not only will we have to endure a style of football that is as entertaining as watching paint dry, it also means Winks and Vestergaard will be playing next season, the former should never wear a Leicester shirt again after his antics this season.

This is going beyond incompetence and is starting to look like actual sabotage. 
 

Is there anything at all that King Power would gain from the rapid decline of the club and the devaluing of an asset? Can they somehow get money out of this?

It's depressing that Rohl, someone coaching in the league we're about to play in, is considered imaginative as a pick by LCFC standards lol lol

The club are astoundingly thick. Waste money sacking a manager, replace him with someone even more shit on a 3 year deal who we will have to get rid of in October when we are bottom because he’s shit, I called it with Cooper and call I with clueless Cole. Top move.

Hopefully someone will take a banner to the Bournemouth game saying no to Russell Martin. Only way the incompetent twats at the club will know the fans reaction

They do not care what fans think.

Wednesday are a total mess but im still not sure Rohl joins us. Think he wants bigger.

And I guess Corboran hadn’t given us any sign he would come here.

 

People need to remember that our reputation is rightly in taters, and it’s a gamble coming here.

Fresh was probably a better word to use, but you get my drift. I’m not going to rule Rohl out entirely, because they’ve gone the fresh route before with Maresca. 
 

But it would be no surprise to anyone if they played it unimaginatively safe, he may do a better job than him, but Martin just reeks of Cooper 2.0

No, but I'm sure Martin said in his interview with Lineker that it's important he goes to club next who will be receptive to his style of play. He is probably totally unaware of the flak Puel, Maresca and to a certain degree Rodgers took for playing slow, death-by-passing football.

I wasn't disagreeing with you, I think Rohl IS imaginative by KP standards.

I don't like the guy as he seems very ego driven, but there would be *some* positives. They had a long unbeaten run in the Champ and did achieve promotion. Ok they finished 4th, but did amass points of a 2-3rd placed finish.

 

The big red flag for me would be mentality. Our squad has already showed itself to be weak in this regard and I don't think Martin would help that. I think the very first game against Sheff Weds in the Champ showed all you needed to see: some very good football at times but mentally fragile and almost didn't get the win.

 

I think RVN needs to go whoever we go for. The stink needs washing off. But JFC drop all the respect BS, we need to be talking to candidates for the job NOW.

Dyche it is then, eh? TalkSport reporting we've had talks, if that's worth anything.

What is the obsession with our club going after Southampton rejects. Why bolster our team with players and managers from a team that are worse than us. MENTAL! 

Also this slow build up possession football is boring as hell. Sack it off.
