Yep keep sacking managers and appointing other shit managers rinse and repeat wasting millions of pounds in pay offs. Or just sell the club to someone who actually wants it and will appoint competent people to run it. 5

WTF is he doing in these games. this bad consistency pattern whatever you wanna call it keeps happening over and over and over again and he’s not fixing it! it’s his job and he’s not doing it. time to read the riot act to him before this team loses all remaining hope and confidence. 😡 Half time entertainment suggestion?

Gav_LCFC14 Posted 17 January Posted 17 January Fills me with absolute anger, how we've wasted so many games with this guy. A competent manager would get so much more out of these players. 1
Claudio Fannieri Posted 17 January Posted 17 January Every chance that Liverpool and Tottenham sack their managers later today or tomorrow maybe just maybe we take the opportunity to sack Marti and for it to be pretty much under the radar and go largely unnoticed which would suit our decision makers.
CarolinaFox Posted 17 January Posted 17 January Even though we are 13th we are only 10 points off 3rd. A run of form could be the difference between a possibility of promotion or staying in the championship which has serious financial implications, I actually don't see how we can afford to keep him. Overall I don't see any point to sticking with the Marti Cifuentes project. This team has gone backward in almost all areas under his watch. But we're in such a strange position, in the middle of a transfer window, middle of appointing a new technical director sadly I don't see us getting rid of him. 1 1
splinterdream Posted 17 January Posted 17 January Listen, I know i'm gonna get pelters, but first half we looked superb, but we have 3 senior citizens in the side, and Luke Thomas. JJ is also such a legend, he doesnt know how to pace himself and burns out before the 90. Marti is no Pep, but we're not Man City. I don't think I'm ready for Marti out 1

GLC Posted 17 January Posted 17 January We’ll lose on Tuesday, and then fluke a 1-0 win against Oxford. Meaning he keeps his job 1
Rubbersoul Posted 17 January Posted 17 January Can anyone think of anything positive he’s done so far? Not sure you can even say bin Winks & Faes off as he still played them far too long

I don't think I'm ready for Marti out How much more do you need to see before you make him fully accountable for picking those ‘3 senior citizens’ & Luke Thomas? Marti just cannot stop us trotting out the same inconsistent performances and constant defensive and physical/mental weaknesses. Get him gone. He’s not the only problem but he’s singularly responsible for not getting a tune out of this squad. 5

Mate, those senior citizens were dynamite in the first half, what let him down was he didn't have the confidence in the replacements. He takes off Ayew and has to bring on Daka, who is absolutely useless. Monga for Stephy isnt working, he isn't ready, if anyone should have been dragged up top it should have been abdul. Yes I know, lets play Aluko, Evans and Page, but Marti see's these players in training, perhaps its the case that he needs more players to beat top of the league away from home?

Another manager may come up with more than just the exact same team and exact same tactics ( that don't work ) every week. Another manager may look at the running stats.. Another manager could drop Thomas from the entire 25 man squad It's a moot point, as there is no way he's being sacked. The club are in a financial position that they need to save a grand or two on pies for the stewarding staff. The manager could take a slash on the Vichai statue after an 8-0 drubbing and he still wouldn't be sacked. 3

Perhaps Thomas is the best we've got, perhaps the distance covered stats and sprint stats are low because we're playing with those senior citizens, and maybe those are OAPs are the best we've got. The game could have been wrapped up in the first half. 1

United beat City today why? Because they got rid of a failing manager and brought in someone to just bring the basics back.

I don’t think it’s fitness because when we had a bad first half at home to Sheff Utd we showed we can play well in the second half. When we are winning at half time he brings everybody back more defensively and just tries to hold on - even at 3-0 up at Derby it was getting nervy by the end. Yet when asked, he says he tells them to go for more goals, I just don’t believe it. 1
