The idea that suddenly become more creative and efficient just through a change of formation is silly fwiw. Started with 1 player with more than 7 goals in a league season to their name I think so okay, you stick another striker on and make that 2, that's still not enough.

That's on the players who didn't pass to him then. Not Downs.

Interesting that Still was quite content to discuss signing Kabore even though this signing was already wrapped up. Maybe Bree off too.

Well thats out of the blue.

Signing Romeu when we have 3 of the best CM's in the league in our squad and are currently playing the best one of them out of position because of a crying need for creative midfielders seems like a really dumb idea.

There wasn’t many more productive teenagers in the PL last season. That’ll be why might think he’s worth the risk. And the more important question is why we would sell someone who could be very useful in a promotion campaign for less than 40m.

Yeah man. On a completely separate note and totally not related to weird behaviour has anyone laughed at one of your ‘he’ll cook’ jokes yet? 😘

No idea. Just like I’ve no idea if he knows about the times you said we wouldn’t be promoted under him. Fingers crossed he doesn’t for both eh?

Our superior squad is again, rewriting history considering it's made up of a team that finished behind Leicester and Leeds the year before, RM's mates and a bunch of players that fans would like to see the back off this season in an ideal world. Changed my mind. I really dont think you're the person on this forum to call out drivel btw "The great Chris wilder achieved more either side of that season"

Pretty sure I said 87 goals not points. Edit: Also your point about Chris Wilder I'm pretty sure isn't true. He failed to get Sheffield United promoted last year so thats not achieving more and nor was in he charge of the Sheffield United side that got promoted before we did. Think he was struggling with Boro that year from memory. I'm disputing that our football was tedious and going nowhere. It wasn't. Yes, we conceded far too many but I quite enjoyed watching us attack and score goals and I think people are trying to convince themselves it was boring.

I'm going to say this again and it'll be my final words, if you think scoring 87 goals in this league is tedious football and "pretty patterns going nowhere" then that's fine but this season could potentially really piss you off. Only Leeds got more than that last season. The 2nd top scorers last year scored 71. Only Burnley scored 87 the season prior. People can not rate RM but once again, if you're convincing yourself our last season in this league was tedious then you're just rewriting history. Fingers crossed we piss all over everything that team did this season though.

Fair play for doing the work so he didn’t have to. I feel like if I was being smug and smary about RM and was waiting for the exact minute they’d scored I’d might have mentioned it to be fair but I am quite humble so maybe not.

I don’t remember your comment but you keep changing it until you find it then let me know 👍

Their first league goal was against Dundee on the 9th apparently and I made 1 post that day in the Wrexham thread, so, that’s not true. And the only posts I’ve made in here about RM and Saints. But anyway, now we’re into the realms of assuming I’m Lucy Pinder/Another family member and/or just making up stuff about when and what I’m posting I think I’ll let the people who are doing minute by minute reports on Rangers matches because they are losing judging someone for posting when they scored a goal, that didn’t happen.

On the basis that about 3 posts ago you were convinced I had some deep connection with the guy and that was wrong I’m going to just patronise you again on this one if that’s alright? Fella.

I’ve defended his work at Saints because I was tagged into the thread during what seemed to be a 3 page minute by minute report on a Rangers game. Haven’t commented on any of his games over the past weeks.

I couldn’t give one toss about the job he’s doing there.

Because I thought the job he did here was good up until last season and then I don’t think he’s the main reason we were so bad. Does that make sense to you or would you like me to spell it out more patronisingly?

I’m not convinced we did anything particularly different in the play offs than we did in the rest of the season personally, but that’s an idea that people find baffling on here as well. I’m also not convinced doing anything differently than the way we did it in the PL would have got us particularly better results either, and I’d suggest the two managers who struggled after him records would suggest that as would the 3 managers with us in the PL before him. But anyway, that’s an age old debate I’ve obviously had on here and it’s too late to do it again tonight.

Yeah well I haven’t blindly defended him, got personally offended, ever met him or a family member of his. Apart from that though, good stuff.

It feels like that ‘incredible run’ you mentioned would be considered real consistency but I suppose it’s subjective. And yes, there were plenty of people who decided they didn’t enjoy it or it wasn’t going well etc but the facts we scored a hell of a lot of goals, won quite a lot of games and ultimately had a successful season that year. If you can’t enjoy a season like that then I feel sorry for you because taking a season like that for granted shouldn’t be done. We finished behind the 2 teams we’d finished behind the season prior and beat one of them in the most important game of the season and also of course behind Ipswich. We didn’t fall over the line, we finished fourth and stepped up in the pressure moment. Last season was obviously a shit show. I’m not convinced he’s the main reason for that personally but it’s subjective and if people want to call him a vegan cunt for that because they think it’s funny then good for them. I think obsessively watching his teams in the hope they lose and you can quickly fire a minute by minute report of it on a messageboard is a bit strange. Especially when you consider our new managers thread took a month or so to go through the amount of pages this has tonight. But the idea that the Championship is just a foregone conclusion and Martin nearly fucked it up is wrong. Fingers crossed this season goes smoothly and allows people to continue that narrative obviously but I’ll be as equally as impressed by Still if he gets us up with the ease everyone expected Martin to do and makes it even more exciting with all the goals we’ll no doubt score.

Using vegan as an insult is right up there with using the letter "w" as one. It's really witty stuff. Lets cry about that your sense of humour instead shall we.

About what you wally?

Compared to the two managers after him it stood up fine. I'm not getting into this debate again though.

Can I be nasty about your "wussel" joke in return? Or the minute by minute report on here every time his team gets beat? I don't care for his time at Rangers so I've no interest in defending his work there. His work here, especially in the Championship, stands up well though and people trying to rewrite that or delude themselves into thinking they didn't enjoy it do deserve to continue to be called out though.
