Just had a quick flick through this thread and, to be honest, I was shocked by some of the unjustifiable comments about Adam Armstrong. Yes he’s struggled at Premier League level (most of the current squad have) but does anyone remember the important goals he scored in the 23/24 Championship season, including two in the play-off semi-final home leg against West Brom - or perhaps even the winning goal he scored in the play-off final against Leeds?

Danny Röhl - our best option given that the club as a whole and current squad specifically are definitely not as attractive as they once were. Years of poor management within the club and regular team manager changes have massively reduced our allure. Apparently Röhl was keen when Martin was sacked but the club weren’t prepared to meet compensation demands at that stage. Weird really given the financial disaster which relegation has now caused.

I assume you’re living somewhere on ‘Planet Donald’

Sadly we’ll be left with a pile of utter shite in terms of players for next season. Anyone decent will be on the first flight out of this shit show. And who can blame them?

Would not surprise me if it is Danny Rohl

100% agree. WTF are the club doing?? Useless

Surely that’s Res Ipsa Loquitur??? Though roughly translated it means exactly the same - “The Fcuk Up Speaks For Itself “

The wholesale reorganisation of SMS to create the so-called “Northam Wall Of Sound” has, without doubt, been a colossal failure and massive waste of money.

Derby’s lowest points relegation record definitely looks under threat

I have never been a fan of Martin and I honestly believe that Saints were promoted last season despite him and not because of him - primarily as a result of Saints having one of the best squads in the Championship. The best managers are those who can adapt a team’s style of play to get the best out of the players they have. They also need to be the type of person who shows some humility and accountability when they’ve made mistakes. Look at Gaurdiola yesterday! Martin had one plan dominated by an increasingly irrational obsession with possession football at all costs. Part of me feels sorry that it has come to this - but then I think about some of Martin’s arrogant and self righteous interviews this season and I rapidly get over it. Doubtless he can console himself with the £5m+ he walks away with.

“You have been managing too long here for any good you have been doing. Depart, I say, and let us have done with you. In the name of God, go.”

We will get hammered and Martin will make his usual pathetic excuses. Our club has become the biggest joke in the Premier League and an embarrassment to many life long fans. Apart from that I’m quite optimistic.

It is clear that the Board’s key tactic this year is relegation at all costs. Once you get your head round that it all makes complete sense.

Optimistic rather than wrong
