RM no doubt was highly recommended to Top by Rudkin, just like Adolf listening to Herman Goering saying don’t worry boss the Berlin defences are doing great. 

Hopefully these lot piss off to Argentina and go into hiding too

Ahh for ****s sake I forgot he was Buddhist as well 

[foxfanazer]

I can only think of 2 reasons why this could be seen as a positive and they both involve Lucy Pinder

[justfoxes]

Please NNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!

No, Support them - anybody that has renewed ST or bought merch, match day pints etc etc is lining their pockets.

 

I love LCFC as much as the next man, but I am so glad I didn't renew my ST for this season so i can do my bit to try and initiate change 

Funny you should say that, I was sat near the corporate area on Sunday and I did hear Rudkin mention to Top something about the immediate need for change and then mentioned the name Jonnyboy and something about him not renewing.

 

Makes sense now.

We're more likely to get Bonnie Blue down the KP, on accounts of the frequency with which the fanbase are being asked to bend over and think of England.

Of course we ****ing wouldn't. His PPG was 0.83, which he was incredibly lucky to get in the first place.

 

Even if he had kept that up (he wouldn't have), we would have been on 31 points, still relegated with games to spare.

The damage with Cooper was already done.

 

I actually don't think he'd have done as well as Ruud did because he wouldn't have got those two results against West Ham and Brighton.

 

I've not seen a Leicester manager, a Leicester squad and Leicester fans be so out of touch with each other we all were under Cooper.

Is it just the Daily Fail reporting this? Not exactly the most knowledgeable football coverage usually.

Tactical piece on him here https://the-footballanalyst.com/southampton-russel-martin-tactical-analysis/

 

The only thing going for Russell is some good pressing and high turnover statistics. 
 

As I’ve alluded to already, his in possession statistics are fvcking depressing. 

[Wortho]

This is ridiculous. I was even a bit more confident when we got Cooper.

I can’t see anything positive about this appointment,

You have got to be f***ing kidding me

If you don’t spend time in here,  then how are you here ?

I just pop in every now and again. I used to be in here 10 or 12 times every day.

If it's Russell that tells me a few things 

 

1. Bobkin is staying 

2. The club haven't learnt anything at all

3. We are probably going to rely on youth, so not much money....again!!

4. We are still hung on Enzoball

5. They are even more shortsighted than I originally thought. 

 

Doesn't sound good to me. All the things we need to move away from, of I'm honest.

Rudkin is doing this just pi$$ the fans off.

It'd be more on brand I suppose

Despite how shit things are, this is a blessing in disguise. Or at least could be. 

 

And the less money we have the better, means there's less to spaff away on has-beens

[BigC]

Sounds like we're appointing Wayne Rooney reading this thread 

[filbertway]

The only positive I'm taking is that people were talking about Dyche like it was a done deal last week

 

[brucey]

Please no. Genuinely would take any of RVN, Cooper, Dyche, Rodgers, Puel over bloody Russell Martin. We also haven't got the money to pay off yet another manager. RVN should be good enough to get this squad back up - if he isn't, we can make that decision a few months into next season.

Can see him going to Rangers- Dont know if they would want Stevie G back

Rangers should go for Dyche, he's got more experience in management then Gerard

They still have these in Scotland, he's a perfect fit

Lets not kid ourselves, RVN is a dreadful manager. Martin is definitely better than him with regards to managing in the Championship, but still, he should be near the bottom of our list.

 

The club only ever seem to go for cheap/free possession based managers who have managed in England.

There is that, I suppose. But we need money to get a striker and a new midfield.

 

We need to be clever, which Rudkin and co are quite clearly not good at.
