Give it King if no one wants it. Least he'll have fans behind him.

Genuinely can’t be any worse. The season is a write off anyway, so this to me is probably the best decision we could make.

Jut get rid. No point in carrying on with someone that is clearly incompetent. Get him gone, now. 

[Marshall Cockney Fox]

Ansty U11s would score against us. We are so powder puff. I cant forgive any manager who doesn't at least make us hard to beat. Marti has us heamorraging goals continously. Ta ra!!

[SafewayFox]

I’m going to sound super petty but why does Marti’s face wind me up so much?

 

There’s nothing wrong with it per se, but when I see a photo of him looking clueless, it really grinds my gears.

Our ability to find managers worse than previous ones is quite incredible 

That’s a very special gift our DOR has.

We’ll just continue this run of win one, draw one, lose one. 
 

It‘s like walking around in purgatory.

Got the points deduction coming. These players with this manager and those running the club are not up for the fight. Need a single minded Martin O'Neill figure in to try and stop this rot.  

[Rubbersoul]

I really do think we’re at the point where anyone else is an upgrade

[Buzzell]

He’s crap, the players are crap, the boardroom is crap, the club is crap.

 

We’re just crap all over.

[Muzzy_no7]

He’s absolutely terrible. 
 

Yes we have bad owners and awful people running the club.

 

Yes we have a weird group of players. 
 

But there’s no excuse for the pathetic points tally this group has especially with how poor this league compared to previous years. 
 

He HAS to go. 

[sammy82]

Should have appointed wilder in the summer, reminds me of big nige with no nonsense attitude 

[hejammy]

That's it. I'm not wasting my time going to the games anymore until either he's gone or Top/Rudkin are gone. Just pathetic. What a waste of a boxing day.

[Devonfox1884]

Kingy in charge for Derby please.

 

Genuinely not sure who we’ll get to replace Marti, but at this point I just want him gone.

Half way through the season, no clear identity or way of playing - he’s totally out of his depth. Get rid.

We have a clear identity, it's sit back and hand the momentum to the opposition until our useless defense gifts the opposition several goals per game. 

 

Has to go today. 

[TrentFox]

I remember clearly the excitement of going to Filbo in the late 70s. An excitement that was killed once the game commenced, as poor players utilised poor tactics on awful pitches. We looked every inch a delegation team and ended up clinging on with a ton of youngsters making debuts. It has that feel all over again.  The football is as bad as I can recall in a long time. And whilst It’s certainly not all Marti’s fault, the buck stops with him as Top isn’t going to sack himself. He has to go and a small miracle needs to happen to revitalise a club that feels in steep decline. Tough times.  It bejng a Fox isn’t a lifestyle choice - just but like learning to live with Tourette’s 😞

[StevieH]

They can't afford to sack him. We've got him for the season. I genuinely think no one else will make a difference to these players. Individual decision making is costing us.

Realistically it will end up being Russell Martin, we're never going to pull out an unknown gem when Rudkin doesn't know the continent exists, but at this point Brussel really couldn't be worse.

Rectifying a mistake by doing something largely in keeping with all of your previous mistakes, and clearly suicidal, is hardly a meaningful way forward.

 

Cifuentes isn't much of a manager. When you know who picked him and under what circumstances, it's no surprise. There are those who would do better out there and many who wouldn't too. While it may make sense to get rid, we can't kid ourselves that the problem is his utter incompetence. We made that assumption with the previous two managers and at some point we've got to see that the more serious problems have no quick fixes. Until there's a boardroom team with some degree of credibility, it's hard to imagine things will get any better, regardless of how fed up I am with Cifuentes.

 

Then again, as little faith as we may have had in Mandaric to pick an effective management team, he still eventually chanced upon Pearson. So there's some hope.

HAS to go. Sleepwalking to relegation.

Not all fans. Some fans will happily clap these twats off the field, regardless the result/performance.

[grth2004]

No way they will sack him as we can’t afford to so I refuse to get angry and will just get used to our slow demise and back to the bad old days. 
The club is rotten to the core. 

[Silverfox14]

Please go Marti

Power Walking you mean?

[nettle]

I noticed in a break of play the players went over for a drink and not one player listened to a word Marti said they just all didn't give a shit
