Martin Out

right once again? its October 7th come on we arent even in double digits of league games,

 

im not defending him, yeah hes massively under performed but how can we get anywhere and have any sort of stability as a club if we chop and change?

Im looking at it logically, (also id have rather had Dave Challinor in the summer compared to RM)

And (putting aside last night's dismal display) we have a total of 9 points from 7 league games - that's more like relegation form than promotion form; at best mid-table.  Even more alarming than the points tally though is his absolute refusal to change tactics and mix things up when teams have predictably sussed us out and negated our attacking threat.  This is the trademark characteristic that he is infamous for and the reason that the majority of the fan-base didn't want him.

Is he including a game against Fulham Juniors. 

 

If this is the critical thinking and evaluation of our manager then we are truely ****ed

You’re right with that. I just think your argument falls flat on his face since then. Those results aren’t just bad, they 1 and 2 worst in our history. 

true but no matter what RM does he's getting moaned at, win called shit, lose the same

fans wanted a rebuild and youth to be played, hes doing both...and fans expect a fix straight the way, 
i understand the booing, wanting him out but this point the club is a f-ing circus anyway

 

anther point, fans moan about style of play etc, we could go counter attacking, yeah but that isnt going to work really not is it when we dont have someone of the like of Kante in the team nor a team who can defend as a solid block.

 

either way

[teblin]

He just doesn't help himself I don't think. Can't help but biting, need to just say, we are still a work in progress and we are wotking hard to get results.

 

I don't like the personal abuse, for me thats not on, but criticism of his football  and result is more that justified.

 

Marti wasn't very good, but more likeable, but the football and results aren't that different.

Thats his total games managed for each club, not since May 2024.

Just now, TJB-fox said:

It clearly says that he managed 73 games for Southampton from July 2023, not from May 2024. Obviously he didn't manage 73 games for Southampton after May 2024 because he was sacked in December 2024. So the 3 league wins are from his time with Leicester + Rangers + however many games he managed in the Premier League with Southampton.

His record is bad but that is total games, and the wins you are quoting are not total wins.

 

You recon Southampton let him manage for 73 games with 1 win? Our owners are wild but that would be something else.

[FoxKent_88]

It's hard to argue with anything he said to be honest. We did win the league with 96 points and have been s*** since Enzo left. I don't mind RM spitting hard facts in that regard in the face of someone admitting to him that our fanbase also booed Enzo. There are clear similarities in the style of play but RM is doing so with a new squad filled with youth, albeit in a division lower. I think RM is right, we will enjoy his football when the winning starts. But for the love of god this winning has to start Saturday

You undoubtedly have a point that there were fans ready to target him on a personal level. He’s had it before.

 

The argument Martin is using is basically what do you want? You’ve had all these managers now and they’re all shit. The owners are shit, the director is shit. It’s almost saying that what is it you lot want?

 

Well them being shit doesn’t make you any better Martin. Both can be true I’m afraid.

 

There aren’t just two options. Counter attack or relentless passing around the back. What he promised us is he’s learned and he’s adaptable. Yet he’s completely doubled down if anything, and it’s only going one way.

Fair play for asking him this. Martin's reaction is staggering, especially "you've been shit for ages" as if he actually said that. As for so many shots, that does not mean it's attacking football but he genuinely believes it is so we're done for.

some fans wanted him out before then

also this thread started on the 7th June....

I wanted him out the moment he was appointed, if not sooner.

 

It's a valid viewpoint based upon the fact that he is Russell f******g Martin.

He has won 42 out of those 100 games, not 3.

I’ve just seen his record since May 2024, staggeringly bad. 
 

3 wins since then in 100 league games. 73 games with Soton, 17 rangers and 10 with us. 

 

It's 38 wins in his last 100 league games, which is since December 2022 if we're picking arbitrary game numbers and dates.

 

[Pliskin]

Blokes a twat, but, I did laugh when he said “you’ve been shit since then” referring to Enzo 😂😂😂 

 

Still, he’s done, no chance of coming back from this. 

[Pliskin]

I can’t believe some fans are having photos with him, who are these creatures? 

[Jattdogg]

Translation......I have plan A and plan A only.  Every football club in the world knows this and counters my plan successfully most of the time.  But guisa, look at them shot stats, very sexy, don't you agree?

 

 

 

 

 

 

[emmo1987]

That video tickled me.

We're not aiming the abuse at you, ''we'll you are'' 

 

And - You got promoted with Enzo and you have been shit since then. Fair comment 😂

 

 

[murphy]

We may have been shit since Enzo but Martin has taken us to the lowest level in our history.

 

Being in league one is an affront to this club.  At least the one single time it happened before, we tore it up and spat it out.  No Leicester team should struggle at this level.  We have the players to win this division of they were allowed to go toe to toe instead of this interminable cowardly sideways shit.

 

Martin is the oppositions twelfth man.

i do wonder if we'd appointed someone else this summer and not RM...if the there would already be an "out thread" etc

 

im going on the side of there would be, because at this stage...think our fanbase is more of a meme than anything else

No because only a select few wanted him….. the majority knew he would be a disaster, their were even chants V Bournemouth about him…..It was never going to work, it will never work, he’s shit, he always has been and he always will be….. I didn’t want him, I wanted him gone before we kicked a ball, he could win his next 10 and I’ve still want him gone. 
 

It was well documented what type of manager we wanted, many people suggested Dave Challinor from the off, a sensible league 1 approach……. The club has set him up to fail.

Just going to say the same thing. Russell Martin sets us up tactically to make the opposition competitive.
