So we are still paying Cooper, Ruud and now Marti as well?

 

Only finished paying Brendan last June😂

Maybe I’m naive but I thought that if manager was mutual consent it was a pay off 

 

manager quits no payment

clubs sacks full payment 

mutual agreement a part payment agreement

Cooper has another job so won’t still be being paid

I think how it usually goes nowadays is sacked = wages paid until you find a new job. So Cooper shouldn't be on the payroll anymore but with Leicester, you never know.

Well I suppose the weekend has ended on a brighter note after yesterday’s shambles

So does Ruud.

The Red flags were there after labouring past unfit, unpaid 10 man Sheffield Wednesday with goals from two corners.

 

If Top actually gave a shit and turned up, he’d have been sacked a while ago.

I don't like journalists using the "he hasn't spent any money" excuse.

 

He's got the squad with the biggest wage budget the league has ever seen and he brought in two very proven Championship level players in the summer in on loan.

Biggest wage bill yes, but the value for money metric is absolutely disgusting.  We need to amble through the balance of this season then once the over-paid losers are gone, start the rebuild from scratch and pay future salaries based upon performance and results.  With Dufkin at the wheel, nothing is going to change and there will still signings like Ayew.

Maybe all our rivals?  Man for man, who would we trade our squad with ?

 

(other than the 50 teams above us)

The way I feel, I would probably trade them for a curly wurly but there's no escaping the fact that on paper we have one of the strongest squads in the division.  We should be doing much better. 

[Supergray22]

He’s either a crap faithful or a great traitor. 
Turns out (surprise surprise) to be the former and we are still no nearer getting the real traitors out. 

[Hales]

To be fair he seems a lovely guy and most players seemed to like him. It didnt work but wish him the best

[Lambert09]

History will remember him as one of the worst we’ve ever had. 
 

he’s as bad as Craig levain. Holloway. Rvn, cooper. He was equally as pointless as Sousa. Total failure. To have the players available that we have and only muster up being the better team in one game is genuinely awful. Even in games where other teams were pony, he still managed to fluff up the tactics 

[STUHILL]

Such a MEH Manager.

 

I couldn’t see what others saw when they were happy with his appointment. Just felt like they were filling in the unknowns with their own wish list. 

His CV was lacking and he just seemed to say what people wanted to hear, with no real evidence of living up to that. 
 

Won’t be missed, and I expect him to end up in lower leagues in Europe with little to no success. Thanks for… bye. 👋🏻

Jordan Blackwell's articles are usually reserved, but he's not mincing words this time - https://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/marti-cifuentes-leicester-city-exit-10776275

The only point of contention I would insert is that it's not a failing regime, it's bloody well a failed one. 

[lcfcsnow]

Ricardo, James and Fatawu were the ones putting it all in still though and noticeably emotional at times, especially Ricardo. Coincidentally the only players I actually like, has anyone other than those 3 thanked him?

[Spudulike]

Not seen any mention of Cifuentes assistants also being removed? Unless they are staying on to help Kingy?

Probably still working out their compo packages. I reckon they’ll quietly leave the building in the coming days.

You thought Oxford were enjoyable to watch!!!!!!???

More enjoyable than the shit we have been serving up! At least the had a bit of fight and 2 attacks! 

[Gamble92]

I wonder how many worshippers of Cruyff philosophy will relentlessly stick to a Plan A at all costs until they get sacked in this fashion. 

 

Martin against Falkirk. Marti against Oxford.

 

You need to have other systems and plans to get results in football. Who'd have thought it?

[murphy]

I really wish people would stop saying what a lovely guy he is.  Who knows?  He could have been a proper cod piece or he could have helped little old ladies across the road and served in soup kitchens of a Sunday.  Couldn't care less.  

 

What we do know is that he was a terrible football manager who has let us down, he's not lived up to his promises and had the brass neck to complain about supporters booing when we went behind at home to the mighty Oxford after 4 minutes as we lurched to yet another defeat. 

 

Sod off Marti.  I have nothing good to say about you.

I think the 2 scenarios are slightly different in fairness

Xavi Calm was kept on by QPR after parting ways with Marti. 
 

Ortiz and the Spanish analyst, forget his name, were headhunted by Marti.

I'm not expecting the the former to have to outsprint a winger for 90 minutes. 

[Filbert Fireworks]

What a dire situation.

Not really sure what the club want. 

We sold some of our best players. 

Managed a couple of loanees in. One was crocked early on. The other our best player and now also crocked. The third sent back for being rubbish.

No Ndidi, Hermansen, Vardy or KDH. 

Marti was an ugly watch but is our team anything other than mid table championship? 

Look at our starting 11 it's hideous whichever group of deplorables you swap in especially at left back. 

If the board think we should be aiming for autopromotion with this car crash of a squad they are delusional. 

Next manager it will be the same rinse and repeat. 

Owners the problem. 

Find it all a bit bizzare really. Is that 4 managers in 2 seasons. What a joke of a club.
