Nobody real actually thinks he’s changed boxing completely ffs 🤣

‘I mentioned last week about a twist’ 🤣 Wonderfully blase.

Will Still will be his 6th manager here. All with different styles and all have given him game time. The only manager out of those who was successful decided in the end he shouldn’t be in the team. But yeh, blame the managers, blame his team mates, blame tactics blah blah blah. If Still gets figures out of him nobody else has then wonderful but cutting him slack in one thread and piling onto a boyhood Saints fan who has helped deliver big moments for the club in that time will always be insane to me. Thats not even getting into the Balogun comparison ffs 🤣🤣🤣

There are threads on here bumped solely to slag off certain individuals who had a big hand in our only successful recent season because of some bad performances off the bench yet Sulemana for example gets the classic ‘mismanaged and any day now he’ll be great’ treatment in his 3rd ineffective season. Incredible place this.

What don't they know?

Think this is a much better insight into him rather than conversations with nauseating podcast hosts and/or awkward youtubers reading from a script they've stolen from said podcasts.

Quite a few league titles between those two btw. Feels like a pretty solid reason why you’d want to play your way.

What Martin liked about Stephens here is nothing he can give to Leicester. A love and passion for the club is what he referenced about Stephens here. Again, give up that straw.

I actually don’t think it’s that so much. I’ve no idea how he’ll fit but I don’t think you push out a captain if you’re a new manager unless there is a real cause to do so, and not being quite good enough isn’t that.

That’s kind of why I asked who they were talking about. Suppose Ryan Fraser is the only ‘RM fan boy’ we really should be looking to move on. Downes is one of our best players and I’ll be surprised if we look to sell him on and even more surprised if it’s to a rival who have some financial books to sort out and have Harry Winks in their squad already. Rangers maybe if Martin goes there but don’t see that happening tbh. THB will go but don’t have him down as a negative. Manning more than capable of contributing and has even said himself he’s staying.

Can’t see Stephens going anywhere this summer and anyone expecting so should probably start preparing for that eventuality now.

They were talking about RM fan boys weren’t they? Not sure you’d count any of those as that. Agree all a nightmare to get rid off though but the longer the contracts go down the cheaper they will get so fingers crossed someone takes a punt.

Who are we talking about here?

It feels like a good one. Looks like he values players and their personalities which our squad needs and his record of galvanising groups is a good one. The idea that we came away from a manager who had a connection with his players was always daft. Tactically he’s used all the right buzz words in the MNF performance. ‘Adaptable’ being a favourite and playing to the audience and like Spors he seems to favour good physicality so its good to have that joined up thinking again that bought us success in this league last time. Will see how that manifests itself but I hope we don’t neglect the technical side like we did under Ralph by the end. Early impressions of Still are that we won’t. Good stuff all around and looking forward to it. As has been mentioned though, recruitment is key.

Romano 2 years behind everyone else.

Deciding you won’t get into a discussion about football is probably one of the most knowledgeable things you’ve said on the subject to be fair.

Anyone who says they want to watch Onuachu for us ever again needs locking up. Anyone who says we shouldn't sign another striker and they would be happy to watch a season of a combination of that 5 again also needs locking up. On an individual basis I could get behind Archer, Stewart or Armstrong again, barely Diaz but if I had to I would but that being our whole strike force would be insanity. Not because they wouldn't do well necessarily but if Spors is talking about energising the club again, it has to look and feel different next year and the strike force could and should be at the forefront of that.

Talking of blind, you still predicting things that don’t happen?

For all those points dropped because of his tactical decisions that led to his Forest side getting less points than we did last season. Anyway, this is dull.

He also took Forest up via the playoffs which you would have criticised right?

Anyway, my overall point from last night still remains: People who are advocating Steve Cooper as our next manager in one thread shouldn’t be pointing out all the flaws of Martin for the benefit of Leicester fans in another.

I think you’ve missed the point here which is pretty stupid in itself. You said we shouldn’t have needed the playoffs. And yes recruitment is the number one factor.

Nobody said everything was enjoyable either. You’ll do well to find a flawless 46 game season. I don’t agree with the entitled attitude that we should have walked the league or whatever you’re suggesting. We were bottom the year before so on paper the play offs were always a possibility, as they will be next season. Just so happened that Ipswich pipped us and we had to and did get the better of Leeds. I find the rewriting of history bizarre in regards to Martin and last season. This year, I get the frustration although I don’t agree with it, but last season wasn’t the disaster/failure some like to pretend it was.

I’d rather be a fanboy than pretending I didn’t enjoy the season we got promoted.

I’d probably avoid getting into a battle of naming specific games if I were you. He’s got 28 wins to choose from.
