Dani Osvaldo, using either would send him into a rage.

Bless him, look at that youthful optimism.

I think that over time fans will come to realise his remarkable contribution to the cause.

Wish I'd been there today see our fans give him the clap as a farewell gift.

As I said previously a real sense of Jones deja vu in terms of Martin incoming both in terms of a flurry on here and the media (Blackmore seems to have been tipped off in advance to disseminate). This all points to a high probably that Martin was on the Rasmus Ankersen short shortlist that propelled Nathan Jones to Premier League stardom and infamy in three months. Frankly, if it's Martin I genuinely cannot see a Wilcox input, so remarkably this is another Ankersen roll of the dice. Desperately trying to be positive perhaps the nearest positive marker we have from recent history was the appointment of Nigel Adkins, but in many ways this was in reverse in terms of our current direction of travel, which makes things more difficult perhaps. As with Nathan Jones you can't play the man, so all we can do is give Russell Martin a chance in the hope that he can galvanise what should be an expensively assembled team and rejuvenated fanbase towards promotion, just like Nigel. If he fails, it will be on Sport Republic, if he succeeds this 'progressive' Board will simply have taken us back to 2012.

A salient point. Not likely to be the managerial trajectory any of us would have anticipated.

Think this is one of those all or nothing games - either a convincing win for us or a hammering. Pointless of course in terms of where it gets us, but can’t see a 0-1 or 1-1.

John barnes was supreme at this.

It’s since he won the Echo player of the season…

Will be interesting to see if Sport Republic and the new manager think that Bazunu can step up to the league below.

His real name is Martin Russell but his agent advised him to change it to provide more mystique!

Have you ever visited the Fudge Lanes in Brighton, prior to 2023? Not all of us on here have juveline filthy minds like you!

Been thinking about Russell, as one does. As I said previously, lots of NJ flashbacks in terms of how things have developed in the media and on here. If it all goes horribly wrong we are likely to see a hybrid of the limitations of Jones and Selles - a wide eyed well presented basket case. However, that said, I think there is a chance he could be our new Nigel, a bit goofy and off the wall, but ultimately a likeable decent bloke who players and fans can buy into whilst ignoring the foibles. Proper 50/50. I’ve watched some of his football and interviews at Swansea over the past few days as I did with NJ and no obvious personality disorder / imposter sirens this time. Assuming he’s appointed before our last game he’s going to have a decent amount of time to set things up and assuming SR are good to their word, funds to put together a team to compete for a first time promotion attempt. I know it’s stating the bleedin’ obvious but if he’s the man then for Ankersen and Wilcox then not much we can do other than stay positive until our eyes and instincts tell us otherwise. Christ the club needs a positive break.

Wonder if big Russ will be in the crowd tomorrow. He’s from Brighton so may be an old member of their ultras, the Fudge Express.

I wish someone would headhunt Ankersen in the traditional, Captain Cook, sense.

Hopefully it all gets right on his tits, and winds up the skinny almond milk latte gang - which it clearly does 😀

As Melton told me this morning, in the meat by-products game ‘Walls have ears’ - whereas Greggs have snouts and Bowyers the arseholes. It’s a jungle out there.

Fucking hell, was he formerly involved in Project Treadstone?

That system worked well last time out.

Hopefully no relatives who post on here, as that was painful last time, what a position to be in. One plus is that as he is called Russell and is a vegan, Bhuddist, Green Party member from Brighton, the bingo machine eyes, tough mining town spiel and psychosis should be kept in check, relatively.

Rasmus is expediting this so he can test out his ground-breaking subliminal messaging theory in the Championship (which we are lucky to be in...). Throughout each game a picture of his face will appear for a millisecond followed by second frame which alternately states 'football genius' or 'goldmine effect'. He oversaw the installation of similar screens on Dragan Solak's yacht during 2021.

I've also heard that a third brother, Melton, is taking over the catering. Famous for his crimped crust. Nepotism rife at SMS!

My experience is when meeting such characters in the workplace is simply to smile and give them enough rope. Never fails.

Like with many board set ups I assume it’s majority rule, so a numerical union of Kraft and Solak could have him escorted from the premises. Similarly a lot of big business seems to work like a poker game, money inevitably wins out.

He's looking decidedly peaky there, like a man who doesn't know what he's talking about or doesn't actually believe it. Either the new puffin moss extract eczema cream is playing up or Dragan has recently installed a trapdoor under the helmet's chair in the Boardroom.
