Russell Martin is enthused by the prospect of getting to work and beginning to build the foundations for a successful season, following the release of our 26/27 fixtures.
Russell Martin reacts to our 26/27 Sky Bet League One fixtures
We’ll face Notts County away on the opening day, before hosting Burton Albion
Our new Manager is preparing for his first pre-season in charge of the Foxes
Martin spoke of his excitement to get started as the countdown begins
The Foxes’ Sky Bet League One campaign will kick off with a short trip to Nottingham to face Notts County at Meadow Lane on the opening weekend of Saturday 15 August, as announced on Thursday.
It’s then all eyes on Filbert Way and our home game against Burton Albion a week later, which will be a first chance for the majority of the Blue Army to see a Russell Martin Leicester City side in league action.
“I’m really excited,” our Manager commented. “Fixture release day always brings the season that bit closer and, for me, it just sharpens the feeling that the work is starting now.
“Starting away from home at Notts County gives us a brilliant challenge straight away, and that’s something we should embrace.
“Of course, we’ll all look forward to that first home game at King Power Stadium against Burton as well, because that will be a really special moment for the players, staff and supporters.
“Once you see the fixtures, you start to picture those moments straight away. The first game, the first time walking out there with the team, the first chance for the supporters to really feel what we are trying to build together.
“That is exciting for me, for the staff and I know it will be exciting for the players as well.”
Keen to use the support from the stands to our advantage, the 40-year-old also offered a glimpse into what he expects from the players, staff and himself in order to achieve our targets in the third tier.

“I’ve said from the moment I came in that I’m all in,” he continued. “I know what this Football Club means to people and I know the responsibility that comes with that.
“We have to work, we have to give everything, and we have to build a team that our supporters can feel connected to and proud of.
“To hear that 23,500 Season Tickets have sold out is incredible. That gives everyone a huge lift. It tells you everything about the loyalty, the belief and the passion of the supporters, and it gives the players and staff a real sense of what we are playing for.
“That kind of backing is powerful. It gives energy to the Club, it gives energy to the players and it gives energy to me. Now our responsibility is to meet that with our own energy, with courage and intensity, and with performances that show exactly what we want to be.”
Although Leicester are likely to be seen as a team to beat in the division, having come down from the Championship, Martin, having previously experienced the third tier as both a player and a manager, warned that nothing is a given in this league, and City must work for everything.
The former Swansea City Manager added: “We know there is a lot of work ahead of us. Nothing happens just because we want it to. It will take standards every day, it will take detail, it will take everyone pushing in the same direction, but that is what excites me. I want us to build something here that people can really believe in.
“The supporters are going to be massive for us. If we can create that connection between the team and the stands, if we can give them a team that runs, fights, plays with courage and gives everything for the badge, then King Power Stadium can be a really powerful place for us. That starts with the work we do now.”

Lot of Ifs there,what happens when one if doesn't  happen,your ****ed Russ.

Wearing a scarf in this heat - what #@£!

[Suzie the Fox]

Shall see how he goes, certainly wont get on his back from the off, regardless if he was my last choice. 

 

Won't take much about what he says to the press either, its all just words for words sake, all managers are the same. Remember Marti's 1st interview? Oh boy he wow'd me & look how that went.

 

Hope for his sake as well as ours it works, as he will be screwed as a manager if it doesnt.

The worst thing a support can do is say “it can't get any worse” oh believe me it can.

 

I'm not even a Leicester fan btw.

 

I only joined this forum to warn the fans about this comedian conman fraud. 

 

This clown cannot set up a defence and I see reports he has taken the gormless Matt Gill with him. 

 

I can recall Gill staring into an Ipad as we suffered yet another lacklustre draw away to newly promoted Falkirk.

 

Then the ultras literally chased Onions Mcgraw out the stadium before he was finally sacked after 3 very dark and traumatic months. 

 

I have never known a manager to be so hated by a fanbase. 

 

He's an arrogant buffoon who couldn't coach an under-16 girls team. 

 

Sacked by Halloween

WBA won't let Gill go, so it seems that we won't have the pleasure. Certainly won't be paying any compensation.

 

Have you got any of those Martin out flags we could borrow? They can be recyclable where ever he goes.

As late as Halloween!??

 

Incredible that this is one of the more positive posts we’ve received since his appointment 😂

[nnfox]

He's here.  He's in charge.  He works with a dysfunctional set of players in a dysfunctional organisation.  He's got enough on his plate without the fans writing him off from the off.  

 

He has to be given a fair crack at it.

Despite his spouting absolute drivel. Give him  till end of Sept.Lets see how energetic the playing actually style is.

[Grebfromgrebland]

Let's not boo him in the first minute of the first game shall we? 

 

Maybe give him a few games?

[sm1]

Regardless of what he's saying, Russell's been around long enough for us to know that we're going to get, a team which values possession over everything else, even scoring/defending goals. It's going to be backwards, sideways passing for 99% of each game. We've got to accept that until the inevitable happens, and he's sacked or leaves.

Eh?

Get into them early. No surrender.

WE'd have been better off employing Matt Armstrong, He's very good at fixing broken things and making them work again.

 

For a Club short of money we're still throwing it away with a 3 year Contract. It should have been a 1 year rolling Contract at best.

 

Hasn't Rudkin learn't anything over the last few years.

Doubt Martin would have agreed to a rolling one year deal. 
 

Doesn't leave us in a very good position either if he does really well and someone wants to take him off our hands.

The world is full of out of work Managers not all bad Managers. Out Of Work Managers don't hold any power the Clubs do. Especially one with Russells record.

 

If they want to get get back into work they have to prove themselves but it should be at the Clubs expense.

 

A good Manager will back himself and take the offer knowing he can get better terms the following years.

[bovril]

every day I wake up and remember Russell Martin is our manager 

[MC Prussian]

I don't care what Russell Martin says. I care what Russell Martin does (or doesn't do).
