Martin appointed (reportedly)

[Stavros81]

The fact that Saints fans are laughing at us again says it all. There’s goes the positive start we needed. Reset **** off!!

[Hitesh]

I'm happy to eat my words but this is a ****ing disgrace for our degrading shambles of a football club 

[MGLCFC]

Like any manager who comes to Leicester I'm open to giving him a chance - but in all honesty this has to be one of the least inspiring appointments (if true) in our history. Trouble is, it appears Top and Rudderless are never accountable for their incompetence. I will, however, hold my hands up and say I was wrong, should some miracle occur and Martin turns out to be decent.

[FrankieADZ]

if this one doesnt come off for the club, then it will certainly be the nail in the coffin for King Power at the club

[winteriscoming]

If you could have asked all the fans at the last home game last season who you don’t want next season 99.9% would have said Martin. 
Dreadful decision. 
The only positive is his Mrs and the sooner he’s appointed the sooner he goes. 

 

[Swarles Barkley]

When you think you are at peak depression but the club finds ways to make it worse. Its quite impressive

[john ridley]

Look forward  to seeing  Lucy wearing  our new shirt,otherwise nothing good except  step nearer administration  and top ,Rudkin ****ing off .

[RedSoxUK]

Obviously....

[Silverfox14]

Worst news for well weeks….really gutted we have appointed him.

[Freeman's Wharfer]

Sigh

[jayfox26]

Genuinely feels like sabotage now. Appointing a manager that is incompetent as well as being hugely unliked by the vast majority of our fanbase is beyond belief.

Even if it wasn’t Martin, any manager is going to really struggle to do well with this owner and board room. Another step closer to King Power leaving hopefully 

[KFS]

First side he’ll get to fully build from ground up. I’ll give him 10 games. What else can you do?

[VLC86]

Can’t fulfil a 3 year contract if the club doesn’t exist for the next 3 years…

[kingfox]

Over a thousand 10+ pass sequences 

More than likely inverted full-backs

100 passes between our CB’s

 

Sales for sleeping bags in Leicester might be popular over the next few months.

 

Even though this appointment has felt inevitable for about three years, appointing him at any time would be shit, but appointing him on the back of back-to-back relegations, where the fanbase is currently broken and needs a lift, just shows how incredibly idiotic our board is.

Wow! To say I'm pissed off is an understatement. As a life long Foxes fan of 28 years, I've never been so disappointed and uninspired in a managerial appointment. I've never liked this man and how he's portrayed in the Media. I loathe his arrogance and ignorance and actually can't fathom why we'd appoint him. I love this club, but I can't support them with this man in charge, so I'm done! Nice one Top, along with your sidekick you've well and truly f****d up our club. Time to sell up and take Jon Rudkin with you. 

[Foxdiamond]

When you consider how his last two jobs ended you really have to question what on earth Top, Rudkin and Co  are thinking. Even if they are obsessed with his style of football surely alarm bells should be ringing that Martin is not the bloke to employ. Oh and alienate the majority of the fans too. Have  they taken a fall on the head from one of Top's horses.

[PhillippaT]

F3ck.  Damm3t.

[fazzyfox]

Always reminded me of Nick Knowles. And I don’t like Nick Knowles. So basically……

 

[winteriscoming]

Has there ever been a club that does the polar opposite to what the majority of fans want and been successful with it? 
I’m struggling to think of one. 
I’d be amazed if he’s still in charge beyond Xmas. 

[Free Falling Foxes]

I would love to crawl into the mindset of Top and Rudkin. They make mistake, after mistake, after mistake yet, presumably, they feel they are competent and worthy of their roles.

Bewildering, baffling and suspicious. 

[MGLCFC]

If you listen to his interview with Lineker this is the exact patter that Top and Rudders wants to hear. Solid, pragmatic managers who know how this League works  was the requirement, but no we go for the smooth operator.

[fazzyfox]

[DerbyshireFox]

Yay 🙄

 

Got no choice but to see how he does, but this is the most Top & Rudkin appointment imaginable. Fans dead against it a few years ago, so what has changed, other than being even deeper in the 💩.
 

I suppose they’ll see this as a coup, and delude themselves that we can still attract a ‘quality’ manager. In reality, nobody else with any sense would go for him. That just sums up the decision making at the highest level. 
 

If we get promoted, then he’s met the minimum expectations. Anything less than that, and both the club and his reputation are in tatters. It’s a hell of a gamble to take, let’s just hope the former happens
