It doesn’t mean it won’t happen, but I suspect it’s not as close as Nixon suggests.

I hope so but could also just be that we are pretty irrelevant for most mainstream journos as we are League one, fingers crossed 5

Popular Post winteriscoming Posted 31 May Popular Post Posted 31 May Just waiting for the Percy bomb. Martin is completely the wrong sort of manager we currently need. If anything he is the polar opposite of what we need. We need a strong Pearson type character who won’t take any shit. 7
Stavros81 Posted 31 May Posted 31 May Let’s all be real here none of our opinions matter so whoever the dimwits decide then that will be it! I’d rather Fuchs over Martin any day of the week!! 3

The reply you got (from Nixon?) is Blackburn were interested (in Martin or Challinor?) and we are way down the line for him (Martin or Challinor?). As far as I'm aware, Blackburn have never expressed any interest in Martin .... but they have in Challinor and we have never expressed any interest in Challinor!! Who are you talking about?!

Martin mate, it was at the end of one his articles that Blackburn were interested in Martin and his Sunday story with regards to us was that he was pretty much through the door- his exact words are ‘Blackburn having Martin on their list but Leicester being well down the line for him’. Would add I didn’t ask specifically about Martin just what the Leicester story was and that was his response Edited 31 May by LCFCCKEANO 1
adam Posted 31 May Posted 31 May Russell Martin is the most ridiculous appointment we could make. The bloke has a pretty appalling record and the fans will be on his back from the first time someone passes it sideways. He would be sacked before Xmas. 3

MGLCFC Posted 31 May Posted 31 May I often wonder who drives the recruitment for a new manager. Does Top say to Rudders, these are the only managers I'll consider or does Rudders come up with a list which he takes to Top, who rejects them all and the process starts again. How do ordinary Leicester fans see who would be a decent appointment, yet it's likely to be someone driven by Top's idea on how he thinks the game should be played?

Iwebema Posted 31 May Posted 31 May 4 minutes ago, stu said: Not sure what that means? Suggests he believes we are close to someone, Martin is one of a shortlist but nixon doesn't know who for sure. I personally think we are desperate for him, but I am not sure he will take it. Hes the only name ive been given as being approached about the job, im sure there are a few but hes definitely near the top of our list. Lets hope he says no thanks
ian__marshall Posted 31 May Posted 31 May Not sure what's wrong with me. I previously hated the thought of RM being our manager, but I think given the sh*te appointments over the past 2 years the board have weirdly got me thinking it wouldn't be the worst appointment in the world. Totally get the sideways and backwards concerns, but at least he has a style of football/philosophy unlike all of the useless managers we've had since Enzo left. He does know how to coach a team even if he's a stubborn idealistic tw*t, so I'd have him over Gerrard, Rooney, etc. any day of the week. Will also do my head in listening to his BR inspired soundbites. It's not an endorsement, but we could do a lot worse in my opinion especially with dumb and dumber making the decision. 1
