winteriscoming Posted Tuesday at 19:24 Posted Tuesday at 19:24 Genuinely think Martin will get us of league 1. Problem is we’re heading straight to league 2 with him. If Challinor gets the Salford job then this time next year they’ll be in a league above us. 2
Gazza M Posted Tuesday at 19:35 Posted Tuesday at 19:35 At least Martin means the end of the Luke Thomas long throw.

Lord knows I’m no fan of Martin, but I’m curious to know where this idea that he will relegate us to League Two has come from given that he improved all three EFL clubs he managed and got one of them promoted. There are good reasons not to want him, but the prospect of a third successive relegation isn’t one of them. That won’t happen. 1
MGLCFC Posted Tuesday at 19:38 Posted Tuesday at 19:38 Trouble is Top likes someone who talks the talk and is impressed and obsessed with this possession based football. Both Marti and RM will come across as very convincing in an interview because they are smart talkers. However, we need someone who can walk the walk and for me, out of the realistic candidates available, that has to be Challinor.

Swansea were in the playoffs under Cooper and they fell to 15th and then 10th MK Dons is moot because they were promoted before him 1
Sankey93 Posted Tuesday at 19:50 Posted Tuesday at 19:50 Martin as the head coach and Rene Hake and the assistant?

I am worried about the profile of players we'll sign though (e.g. overly possession focused).

Absolute myth
john ridley Posted Tuesday at 19:57 Posted Tuesday at 19:57 We're going to get what Top and Rudkin deserve, this will be the final nail before administration.

I think that side of things is not anywhere near as concerning as his fixation on a style of play and subsequently putting undue pressure on ill suited players (requires world class players) 4

moore_94 Posted Tuesday at 19:59 Posted Tuesday at 19:59 Smallbone and Aribo as a 2 next season will be fun After we have sold Braybrooke to Wigan for £50k of course

I don’t want him. I wish we were going for someone else. I just think the suggestion he’ll take us down to League Two is probably a bit overblown. He’s a solid enough EFL manager—no more, no leas. 1

Yeah but you can't beat the experience that the likes of Winks, Skipp, Smallbone and Aribo have.

RM's Southampton on course to eclipse Derby as the worst ever PL team. Hounded out of Glasgow, sitting 8th in the SPL with a 29% win rate. How is that even possible for a Rangers manager. They only have one difficult fixture. He is an abomination of a manager. It is almost too cruel to finally rid ourselves of the Jordan Ayew curse, only to immediately bring in this charlatan. Rudkin and Top are doing it on purpose. They must be! 6
HankMarvin Posted Tuesday at 20:19 Posted Tuesday at 20:19 Let’s be honest it’s somewhat of a poisoned chalice the last few seasons, no decent manager with half decent options on the table would want it. We don’t even know what the outcome of last seasons PSR will be and if that will have further implications for late next season. If you were Challinor you could sit tight and get a decent Championship job. We expect a reset, but the chances are we get journeymen players, just of a lower level.
