 4 wins in 34 games and that includes beating an under 21 team. 

This just isn't true though is it

Thanks for the clarification. I guess where we disagree is on what was realistic to expect this early on. 

 

Two points per game is promotion form over the course of a season. That's the end target. If the expectation was that we'd already be averaging two points per game after 10 (ish) matches, that feels a bit harsh to me because his teams have always needed time to get going because of the high learning curve of playing his style of football. You're essentially expecting a new manager, a new squad, and a completely different way of playing to all click immediately. In most sports, when a team is rebuilding and learning a new system, there's usually an adjustment period before you see the best version of that team.

 

That doesn't mean the results don't matter or that Leicester shouldn't be aiming for promotion. It just means I think the expectation of being at full speed by October is probably unrealistic given the fact that his teams need time before performances and results really take off. 

 

At the end of the day I'm not saying I wanted Martin, or that I love everything about his football. But I'm trying to stay optimistic. We all love this club and want it to succeed. I think we've sometimes got to embrace change as a process of ups and downs, accept that we aren't in control, and try to stay positive. 

 

Well the alternative is that it's an even bigger points per game return if it takes 10+ games to kick in. Already with 39 games to go it's now 2.09 points per game for the rest of the season to get to 90 (which 3 out of the last 5 hasn't got top 2) and automatic promotion is the requirement set.

I have never been so confident that a manager is not right for my club.  It is so important that this guy goes as soon as possible.

 

Supported the club for over 40 years but never felt so disengaged.

Not true and, its double that, and they're also stat washing. But 8 out of 34 still

What happened to getting managers on the way up instead of down 

 

it’s a pretty basic concept 

Players and managers. Would be interested to see the track records of our signings, last five years or so who came up to us compared to dropped down. Would imagine the results are pretty startling.
