Russell Martin - Confirmed as First Team Manager

[Craig]

The bloke clearly claps when a plane lands

[Top cop]

I didn’t want him. I hate the club hierarchy. I think things may get worse. But… his values fit with the Thai culture. Maybe this is is home, his chance to excel. All you Reform posters just need to look at the evidence on the pitch. Free Palestine

Genuinely excited to see this guy fail in the same way he always does.

When Michael Cheek is banging in the 3rd for Bromley while we have 72% possession.

Its gonna hit like crack

I’ve been at Boston for the World Cup (great time) and was out chatting with some Scot’s yesterday and told them I was a Leicester fan. They said they were so sad how we’d fallen but things were going to get far worse with  Martin. I naturally said that they must be a rangers fan….. nope, a Celtic fan. No reason for cheap hate just an obvious car crash of a manager

Once again, if and when he fails, the blame will need to be directed at our ownership. Martin is immovable in his ideology, he makes no apologies for it, despite it being hugely flawed at the level of gig he's ever going to get. But thats once again on our decision makers for thinking this is the route to us being successful again.

 

Ideal scenario is we get promoted and we get sold and we then have a possibility of a new era with fresh ideas that might be more aligned with what we need as a football club.

 

Bare minimum for Brussell is promotion, then competing again at a level we still shouldn't really be at.

Bare minimum is the title.

The hysteria on his appointment is pretty embarrassing really. We need to stop acting like a bunch of cry babies and accept the reality in front of us which is Russell Martin is our manager and we're in League One.

 

On a side note I heard a rumour that we've sold seagrave to forest to cover our debts. That was from a random bloke at the hairdressers just now.

given people bang on about him being a vegan and dating Lucy Pinder, both of which are far more interesting than his football, I imagine he was asked about them rather than bringing it up mid interview 

I’m not overly bothered by any of it was just postulating on why people might find it annoying. I said it was just boring.

No, I have the specific interview here -

 

When Journalist Willy Mcplop confronted the former Southampton Cruyff protégé about the 1-1 draw with Falkirk , Martin replied "I'm happy with the team today, we kept the ball well. I'm more disappointed that I've dabbled with eggs this morning, because I'm vegan."

Two vegans and an indoor rock climber walk into a bar - which one starts talking about themselves first?

None of them - the bartender does CrossFit.

Why should we accept him as manager just because we’re in league 1? 
Majority of fans don’t want him and haven’t in the last few years. 
Fans can see what’s gonna happen with Martin. Tippy tappy shit trying to be a mini Man City.

How does this clown keep landing gigs?

 

This club needs to fold.

Your above post said we should accept reality and now you're talking about what we've achieved in the past. None of which are very conducive to where we are now and what is needed.

Martin’s level of tippy tappy is off the scale compared to how we played under Enzo and Rodgers. 
It’s not as if Martin has had success elsewhere apart from 1 promotion with Southampton he’s been average at best elsewhere. 
Wherever else he’s been fans are glad to see the back of him.
