Russell Martin

[Mickyblueeyes]

If you’re using the term “entitled fanbase” after said fanbase watched the disaster that was this season, which included the ridiculously long period without a home goal and the double figure losing run. The only term that can be used in return is for you to properly go and **** yourself with a cactus. 
 

That term is well and truly 2022 when people who used it still had a little bit of credibility despite being utterly wrong and stupid at the time.

The state of this post, please explain how a few thousand people singing "sack the board" is going to make any ****ing difference. The board isnt going anywhere unfortunately and there is nothing we can realistically do about it unless literally everyone stops going to matches, which will never happen. Leicester fans have absolutely become self entitled, Russell Martin is not the problem here, if we hired Pep people would still find a negative.

BECAUSE HE PLAYS POSSESSION BASED FOOTBALL  !  And IT WON'T WORK WITH OUR SQUAD  !  

 

Sorry for shouting people.  

 

We are not entitled mate, we are fed up with the direction the club is going and has been for a number of years.  

 

We are fed up with the continued miss management, both financially and it's day to day running.

 

The Sh1t appointments of managers and also a high percentage of players.

 

The club at present and over the last 5 or 6 years hasn't covered itself in glory and its overall track record is horrendous.

 

Russell Martin would be a problem, he's no better than RvN (his stats prove that) and he's as egotistical and arrogant as Rodgers, and he will instill a footballing philosophy that won't work at our club. 

 

Appointing him will just be another cock-up by the club because they still haven't learnt from the numerous past mistakes.

so he improved MK Dons by 6 places and Swansea by 5 in his 2nd full season? Southampton he won promotion

I dont really understand the "entitled fanbase" when its thrown at a group of fans who saw the worst relegation in history followed by another one 2 years later.

 

Normally that phrase is reserved for teams who have had a slightly poor season, just below what they had expected. Chelsea being notorious for it.

 

But I think leicester city fans have every right to expect more than this. As did club's in similar declines like Sunderland and Leeds. I don't think anyone was calling them entitled just acknowledging how severely miss managed they had become.

Nope, they joke about both in the Lineker interview.

This is completely fair, I actually hated watching us under Enzo with all the sideways passing and we no longer have KDH who often made the difference going forward. I am not a Martin fan, I do like his passion if I'm honest but we picked his teams apart.

 

My frustration is with the fan base thinking we are some kind of attractive option, we are a mess and we don't have the money to be bringing Rohl in or attracting a manager that can realistically get us out of the division and then keep us up, lets focus on part 1 first which is getting out of the Championship with a likely points deduction. We can do worse than a manager that went 25 unbeaten the year we were last in that league.

Part 1 is getting rid of this board, and the maybe the owner. 
 

Until then there’s literally no point in aspiring to do anything else.

This is the red flag. He clearly didn't have cloggers who couldn't string passes together but all that possession for mid table four out of five seasons. Didn't use his ball players to any real effect.

 

I mean, you saw with us last season that any decent side could have a field day. Plus they ended the season poorly before the play-offs. He is used to losing in his last nine months as a coach.

 

Not encouraging or inspiring.

Quite the opposite, he's the EXACT manager Top and co would appoint and the evidence of that is so clear to us:

 

1. We are fake Man City.

2. Possession based football since Puel, Rodgers, then Enzo.

3. Scouting, coaches, players all set up and built around the idea of possession and control being a club philosophy.

4. First team coach is Barry Brian-Murphy.

 

Its what the club wants.. yeah sections of the fanbase are tired of it and want a change but it's not what the club want - we're not the only ideological club with this.

 

Id argue, as I've said above, that Martin is actually part of the long term plan with the club philosophy in mind. It would be short termism to do something like.. hire Steve Cooper, for instance. 

 

Its the fact it's so obvious that seems to frustrate a lot of us because there's planet of managers who want to dominate but with more vigor and energy.

So why did we sign Okoli who cant pass a ball 5 yards?

Steve Cooper was in charge, I don't know ask him.

Same agent as cooper needed to get a double payment and rudkin couldn’t be quick enough to indulge him

[Poznan34]

A season of boring, ineffective football and then no chance of staying up the season after, if we do go up. All while the James Maddison of managers promotes himself over the club at every opportunity. And all this because the nepo baby wants us to play like Man City.

Mixed feeling if he gets the job.
