I’ve decided this season I’m not going to watch one single minute of manager interviews.  Interviews are bullshit and prove nothing.  If we’ve learned anything in the past 5 years is that’s it’s all bluster.  All I’m interested in is what happens on the pitch. 

There's too many interviews now, that's why managers (and players) end up saying the same thing. Must be so boring having to explain absolutely everything.

 

But I don't know why people go so deep into it. Why people listen to them all.  I'm even more surprised when I see people posting "unfollowing the club on social media because of what they put out". I'm surprised people even waste their time with interviews and/or the club on social media. I don't think I take notice of 80% of what goes on, because most of it is just the same rubbish over and over again.

I bet with all this transfer activity he wishes he hadn't bothered

Is he getting any leeway from anyone if he uses the youth ? So if alves , page, Nelson , aluko all start majority of games and we are around the play offs but inconsistent does Martin get the fans on even slightly on board ? 
 

@Ric Flair?

Obligation is promotion and using youth.

Russell Martin is very likely to get us out of this division - by getting us relegated. He seems like the David Brent of football. 
 

My prediction is, he’ll be sacked within 15 games, and we’ll get some other jobber to sniff his own farts. Really not impressed.

That's the beauty of it
