He will be a disaster here, no matter how well the players take to him. He’s already too unpopular. A poster boy for King Power’s incompetence and refusal to learn any lessons.

 

He’ll be determined to prove everyone wrong, but his style is just too unpalatable for so many. His style is slower and less direct than even Enzo’s, plus it feels like in the last 12 months the tide has really turned within this country against possession football.

 

He’s a really bad fit.

Baffling to me also. Not sure who people think we could get. Dyche would command probably double the salary of Martin and his football is foul.  Rohl to Southampton looked done and they got cold feet when he started going on about top clubs. Then people mention musklic a guy who took plymouth.down. We aren't in a position to gamble. Martin will have us up there.

 

As a famous man once said...delusions of grandeur

 

There is a world of managers out there and we go for yet another Southampton cast off. A man with a deeply dull, frustrating style of play that is proven to fail miserably in the Premier League.

Southampton had an automatic promotion squad that Martin managed to finish 4th. Certainly not a proven track record. Cant compare him to Scott Parker who has been promoted in 3 out of his 4 Championship seasons

I’m not really sure you can say that he had an automatic promotion squad considering they were the worst team in the premier league the prior season, therefore there is 2 relegated teams with better records from the prior season. He may have come behind Leeds in the league but he still beat them in the playoffs and got promoted.

Admiteddly this is now hilarious in retrospect.

 

What won’t be hilarious is Frank Lampard’s Coventry City beating Russell Martin’s Leicester City in the 25/26 Championship play-off final. 
 

Some graffiti artist needs to stop that from happening.

Is Rohl the popular choice then? Can someone explain what that’s based on?

 

I reckon some people might just be following what others say thinking it’s a clever appointment

He's made a Sheffield Wednesday League 1 standard team in turmoil ran by a clown into a competitive championship midtable side with no backing, shows tactical adaptability, pressing style, can be more direct

Yes, we’ve got to shed this PSR stuff off, we need another season or 2 to shed more wage mercenaries, then we can build.

It is, especially without a new man in charge that everyone can get behind. A squandered chance for a fresh start, new foundations that can support us for the next five plus years, in favour of more of the same. More short term-ism, more predictable decisions.

Like all appointments there's an element of risk, and with Rohl that would largely be about sample size.

 

Reasons to like him he comes from a good footballing background, extremely analytical. He isn't wedded to a football principle, he always changes his tactics based around the players he has and the opposition.

 

Hes done remarkably well with a terrible Sheffield Wednesday team. 

 

All ex and current players speak very highly of him about his man management and leadership.

 

As I say the risk with him would be around sample size, hes doing it with a poor sheff weds team, would he be able to do the same things with us a team that would be more expectant and dominating games instead of chasing them.

 

The one thing for me would be hes up and coming rather than one of the merry go round managers we appoint with style over substance.

This just fills me with despair. I’ve watched during the ten year period where it was all brilliant and everything was going smoothly. I’ve also watched us home and away in the years leading to going down to league one and before where we were totally garbage. Turned out going that low was actually the best thing that happened. 

 

I’ve always been able to take being sh*t, it’s what makes the highest so high. Problem for me now is, we’re not just sh*t it’s almost like we try and self sabotage. 

 

Im in such a strange place with us where I feel completely detached but also still yet so frustrated.

I mean a lot of us were happy with RVN getting the gig (myself included) same can be said with a whole bunch of us being less than impressed with the appointment of Claudio…. so what do we all actually know lol

Rohls a non starter. We'd be chasing him all summer for him to sack us off for a bundesliga team. He's said as much that that's what he wants. We don't have time to be the bridesmaid

He motivated a team playing against the odds into a team playing above their levels, an exciting prospect, probably someone we should have been looking at starting of season just gone.

On the plus side

 

He's not RvN. Surely the worst manager wel ever employ.

 

Martins style of enzoball+ totally vindicates my decision to ditch my st. I can't take any more of that passing endlessly between the cbs bollocks.

 

Errr did I already mention he's not RvN?

 

That's it.
