Within 3 games of his tenture at Leicester you will hate him just as much! Mark my words 

Don't worry, we are way ahead of schedule.

 

The way I look at it, the worse the pain, the quicker he f**** off.

Russell Martin has done nothing to merit the job at Leicester. He's not the man to grind out results to get you back up the leagues. Tbh he's the exact opposite of what the club needs at this moment. You would have been better with A pragmatic manager. Dyche or Sam Allerdice would have way better options 

Nobody disagrees with you here.

None of the managers this club have employed for the past 2 seasons have done anything to merit being at this club, most of them barely qualify as football managers at any level. Problem is the club is wedded to tippy tappy and Rudkin is a twat so we are pretty limited on who would come here. I suppose you could say the club have done nothing to warrant getting a better manager which is why we are where we are, we just have to hope we get a miracle or we die

Hi guys.

 

Rangers fan here. I don’t want to continue the narrative of negativity but thought I’d share my experience. It helps to know what to expect.

 

Rangers are a club in turmoil. I started going since I was 7 and I’m now 25. We went to the very bottom, went to a Europa league final, won a league title but still somehow see ourselves levels below Celtic. It was too big a job for Martin.

 

We signed Martin under the new regime to try implement a new style. At Rangers you get no time. I think he has big bright ideas but you need the very best players to do what he wants. You need playing centre backs and dynamic CMs. We didn’t have that, but he refused to find a plan B. We had talented players but you must win no matter the cost.
 

If you want him to do well, you MUST ignore the horrible first half of the season. He showed at Southampton he can do alright with time. The problem is that you will lose your identity. It will become Russell Martin’s way of playing or nothing else.

 

I wish you all the best. Big club, great fans.

I actually prefer him to Cifuentes and Rowett. 
 

Van Nistelrooy was a major disappointment.

 

He’s got his work cut out though, as this squad lacks known quality. 
 

Other clubs are blown away we’ve got Choudhury playing for us in League 1. We are so use to higher quality that we are just going have to grind this out and if he does this with this squad. Then full props to him.

Not sure how you can judge him as we’ve not played a competitive game yet. 
He’s arrogant despite achieving very little in the game. 
I hope he does well but I’m less than convinced he will.

The big advantage and disadvantage of Russell is his amount of experience and his experiences as a manager, will he have learned from it?

 

We’re gonna be the ones to find out

His record is better than Cifuentes. Who’s record to be quite frank, was very average before he arrived.

 

At least Martin has achieved promotion.

I would look into the small print of his promotion with Southampton btw. We never did that when he first came to Rangers but on closer inspection it revealed some dark skeletons. 

 

Finished 4th with the biggest budget in the championship, lost as many goals as teams who finished mid table.

 

Slithered through a playoff to get into the EPL - then was sacked after obtaining the worst ever record in EPL history because he set his team up to get hammered. 

 

His MO is always the same.

 

First blame will be the players who he will publicly chuck under the bus “anxiety” “self preservation mode” “not running hard enough” then once he's lost the changing room he will move on to the fans for not clapping hard enough whilst watching his eye wateringly bad football “we need to get behind the team as a club” “Toxic atmosphere” 

 

Then he will say what he said at the end of his Rangers journey and blame the political tensions in the UK. 

 

I'm going to watch Leicester very closely this season as I believe it's this fraudsters last rodeo before he is banished from pro football forever. 

 

The Leicester board must be the thickest custodians in world football bringing this chump In
