Watched the whole thing and I think Martin comes over very well. An earnest and solid person, which will get him some slack at Saints.

That’s more like it - liquid controversy!

It’s beautiful. All the spurious assumptions are absolutely true! 😂

Not controversial enough for me, personally.

Here you go, a fair bit of Saints and Coventry salad days nostalgia on this one:

Would probably settle for a genuine leader, who knows the ropes, maybe we might get two. Think our CB exit is going to be like a revolving door.

With Stallone's Mum, Marti Caine, Patrick Moore and the Pele who used to play for us this lot would have a game on their hands!

Fucking hell, better than parody, like finding Adrian Mole's diary.

Assuming it was trainee manager at the Megastore.

When you put it like that it's amazing we've got more than 6 points! One day someone will write a film about it, like Escape to Victory, but with them all facing a firing squad at the end, a comedy

With Martin as the incoming manager I really hope that the Board don't try to be clever at goalkeeper and centre back. For the possession game to work we need to recruit reliable leaders, character, in both positions at the start of the window and build from there. The whole spine needs to be set right, but a solid keeper and dominating CB (finished articles) early doors would show that some lessons have been learned and there is an actual plan in place.

Always had a soft spot for Coventry starting with the shared innovative admiral kits in the 1970s (Leicester, SFC and CCFC were the teams on the posters), and that side with Terry Yorath and Ian Wallace, then likes of Hateley and Bennett. A sad time when you looked sunk a few years ago and genuinely good to see you on the up again.

as did big Lawrie on the touchline……………………………

When I first saw it genuinely misread as 'Russell Martin get's in' meaning the yellow bin - spent the time waiting for some slapstick relief.

Also good his brother Gary is being considered, lots of revolutionary ideas!

I was sincerely hoping that Marty Semmens would get a testimonial, show our appreciation. Expect him to be overseeing doughnut operations at Krispy Kreme Westquay soon. Rasmus survives, but the board has a much more Spectre quality about it following the reshuffle - tick tock

Sartorial balance...

Typically of Holly Willoughby to use an old photo!

Nickname at Norwich - probably because he is a six foot plus centre half. Maybe same as big John McGrath, big Dave Watson etc. (who weren't as big as him per se).

Selles looking sharp in Zara, a turtle necked matador with an defiant Iberian thrust of the jaw - but no plan. Semmens sent down by Ramus to put Ruben's P45 in his jacket hanging in the changing room at the start of the second half. Big Russell, new coat of Wella coal black rinse, as always desperate for possession, expectantly nervous in the stands. I genuinely hope Selles plays the full 2022/23 shit-list of mediocrity - Djnepo, Moi, Aribo the ensemble cast of the muppet show. Then watch the utter cunts comfortably win - Ralph in his recently purchased conservatory in Graz instinctively falling to his knees with a tear in the eye at the final whistle. Then again, we might just get dicked as per usual...

Simon Charlton (and the Wheelies)

Fuck me Turkish, getting in early for the insane summer window! A controversial opinion...

Something about this lad, a genuine penalty area poacher - the hits reel starts slowly but stick with it. Have a look at the obscene backheel goal at about 1:35, followed by another cracker close in on goal. Could do very well in the Championship - https://www.google.com/search?q=luis+lopez+aberdeen&source=lmns&tbm=vid&bih=880&biw=1920&rlz=1C1CHBF_en-GBGB874GB874&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjmh7PDgIn_AhVTnCcCHUe5A9QQ_AUoBHoECAEQBA#fpstate=ive&vld=cid:8e4ba870,vid:ewQiw66I_Jk

If the Board are set on Martin, which looks to be the case, I would be asking him for his Championship defensive wish list (including a reliable keeper and commanding centre back) very soon after his arrival. For his formula to work you simply can't have liabilities and shrinking violets at the back.

Wondering if Stu Armstrong might have a role to play under Martin, tend to think he’s one player the possession game might suit and he’d get space in that league. Amongst the ‘senior’ players would not be averse to SA staying on after the incoming cull.
