Surely the second part of this proves he’s not the right person? 
 

Basically the argument for keeping him comes down to ‘might as well’ or in other words ‘cba’. It’s not like you, brookfox, has to do anything.

 

We know the manager isn’t very good and we would like a better one. Better managers exist IF our club was willing to scout them like other clubs do. Everything else is irrelevant. Most of us know the owner won’t hire anyone good but we know they won’t sell up and we know they won’t buy decent players either. 
 

I ask this a lot, but if the manager offers nothing, or managers can’t make a difference, why have a manager at all? Shouldn’t we just let these unmanageable players manage themselves? Nobody ever suggests this which I find surprising. They are so sure that managers can’t make a difference when the players are average but want the club to spend money on someone who they admit is tactically inept, unwilling to change and doesn’t provide an ounce of entertainment.

It’s more given the situation he’s in, could anyone really thrive. Let’s say we sack him and bring in a new person; they still have a dodgy squad and incompetent board. Until these things are fixed I can’t see any manager thriving. I’ve been in a position when I have a bad line manager and a sh*t team and you’re on a hiding to nothing until you can change one or the other.

 

It’s impossible to know if Marti would thrive with a better board and motivated squad, or if another manager would do better. But given where we are (and yes this may be apathy on my part) I can’t see the point just now for gambling on a new manager transforming our fortunes.

Think we will lose against Derby and this time next week he will be fighting to hang on/gone. Points deduction now and we are in the bottom 3. Club cant afford another relegation

Will there be any extra pressure on Ciffers if Derby pump us 4-0 on Saturday?

No, cos that's the scoreline Tops bet on with BC Game.

Not one game this season have we played well for 90 minutes, appalling team  appalling manager who doesn’t have a clue how to manage

imo he should have already gone, not one game this season have we played well for more than 45mins

could say the Sheff U game but suddenly turning up in the second half doesnt give him no grace imo

we lose tomorrow hopefully hes gone by the evening or Sunday morning

as frankly hes not been good enough one single bit

In modern day football given the high wages and long contracts of players, especially now given PSR, it will always be easier to sack a manager and hope a new appointment can get a tune from a group, rather than take a financial hit moving on bad egg within a squad. 
 

It hasn’t worked out for Cifuentes here, in a similar way to Cooper, it has just never got going here, there has been no stand out 90 minute performance, just lots of little cameo’s and individual moments of magic. 
 

Personally unless he makes wholesale changes to the starting XI today and gets rid of the toxic minority then it’s just a matter of time, however I can see Eustace having our number today and Derby hitting us on the counter and comfortably beating us by 2 or 3 and it being the end for Marti.

I really want him to turn things around, but I have seen no evidence so far.

Even an idiot like me, can see that tactics have evolved. 

We are still trying to Pep our way with last seasons trend. 

Fast, direct, and aggressive football please.

He needs to change the style with the players we have as its not working. 

Its been a bit of a pousened chalic for him so far. Late appointment, lots of players out. Few signings. 

But he can see its not working and needs to change how we play. I am not one for managerial changes, but if he can't see that we need someone who can.

I have a feeling something happened in the changing room at HT last w/end, the fight shown in the 2nd half was different to what we have seen thus far & the changes made…he’s hoping the CB penny has dropped & they realise they need to put a shift in and not just turn up

Cifuentes asked about Winks and just said "technical decision". That has to be Winks done then, that short and sharp a response is obviously "he's in the doghouse".

"Technical decision." 

 

Think he was attempting to look strong with that curt response, but it wreaked of vulnerability.

 

Win or bust today.

It may well be that most of the other players hate playing with Winks because of his blaming other players constatanly attitude. Marti getting rid of him has made the other players want it more?
