Josh Holland to Russell

 

Will a striker be part of City’s late transfer business? “I think there’s a chance in everything, but again, it has to be the right one. It just has to be the right person, so we’ll wait and see," said Martin.

Martin says criticism has become 'really personal'

Leicester City manager Russell Martin says he is bemused by why he "upsets so many people" and feels criticism he has received has "become really personal".

There has been intense focus on the job the 40-year-old is doing at the 2016 Premier League champions this week after they were beaten 4-0 by Oxford United in League One on Saturday.

It was Leicester's second defeat in five games in what has been a difficult return to England's third tier for a side that has suffered back-to-back relegations from the Premier League and Championship.

Leicester are now 18th in the division - an all-time low point for the 142-year old club.

For Martin, the slow start to the season has meant that condemnation of his brand of high possession, passing football that defined his 123-day spell in charge of Scottish Premiership side Rangers last season has followed him to King Power Stadium.

"It has become really personal from some guys in the media and definitely from fans," Martin told BBC East Midlands Today.

"It is what it is, and I have to deal with it. It doesn't affect me too much, genuinely, but it is really difficult for the people around me, who know me and understand me and know what I am.

"I don't know why I upset so many people. One of the players asked me this week why I am so criticised outside of here, because obviously they see stuff, and I can't answer it."

Foxes players 'believe' in Martin approach – Joseph

While the defeat by Oxford was described as a "sackable performance" by ex-Foxes forward Matt Piper, and another former Leicester player Matt Heath doubts fans will be won over by the style of play, Martin's own players have backed their boss.

Captain Harry Souttar said the Oxford result was "solely down to the players", while 20-year-old defender Jayden Joseph said the squad is convinced the manager's footballing philosophy just needs "time and patience" to work.

"Speak to the players and people I've worked with, and [then] people who have never seen it and have maybe watched a few clips of some bits, and it's very different perception and reality," Martin said.

"But I guess when you try do something that is a bit different to some, then it's always there to be shot at."

Martin went on to say that he "needs to do better, improve and learn" from what he is doing at Leicester, but he also reiterated his commitment to the style of football he has the Foxes playing.

"I love what I do, I love my job and love always trying to develop people and players by playing in a way where I think they can bring the best version of themselves," he said.

"Sometimes it takes time. It's not easy, but I will always choose to try to embark on something that I really believe in that focuses on trying to develop whilst winning. And maybe I'm in the wrong job for that.

"There is enough feeling from me and the players I work with that it can be really brilliant at times.

"I always have to keep learning and I spent a long time out of the game after Rangers and spent a lot of time watching different football and trying to sharpen my tools.

"The most frustrating thing is that I've enjoyed the process here so much so far and it's not quite shown with the results, but I'm convinced it will. Otherwise, I wouldn't do it. So ultimately I'll keep doing what I'm doing and hopefully we will be really successful and I really believe we can be."

What's he trying to say here? That Leicester are the wrong job or football in general is the wrong job for him?

...and ultimately we have only our selves to blame for hiring such a one dimensional clown. The reporter should be jumping all over this comment and challenging him on the fact that any coach deserving of a professional job should be able to change tactically when required and this right here is terrifying that he won't even consider it.

If the players are behind him and believing in his methods then they are equally to blame when we get beat and embarrassed.So if he don't change his methods when necessary then the supporters of this club have the right to question him and his methods.He will also turn the fans against the players if they become disciples to a failing methodology. Unless we take at least 4 points out the next 2 games then he should be moved on

to avoid wasting time and further lowering the value of the club with a sale on the horizon.Ive no personal issue with Russell

But do tend to find anyone adding to the destruction of our club quite annoying.Does he realise that the clocks ticking and we are not here for his egotistical experiments or development of grandiose theories.This is league one and it's about results.

If he is worried about fan remarks then he needs to find another career

If you look up ‘stupid’ in the Oxford English Dictionary you may expect to see this man’s mug staring back at you. He’s an utter pillock and a liability to the future of our club.

It doesn't effect him cos hes getting paid to do naff all. In all honest if I was getting paid what he does. Nothing would effect me too. Its a win win no matter how you look at it. He gets sacked still being paid and then a mug like top and dung come hire him and gets paid even more and if he ever gets sacked from here well he still gets paid so yeah I can see why he saying it doesnt effect him. Stupid Dung needs to go
