Maresca got Leicester promoted as Champions whereas RM is potentially going to preside over a relegated side with the lowest ever points total. If this happens no club bigger than us would entertain the idea of appointing him as their manager - can you imagine the uproar from their fans?

Anyone who thinks a bigger club than us will want his services is deluded.

Yeah, wonder when the penny will finally drop for RM.

Maybe try something a bit radical - ditch the slow, ponderous walking football and get up the field as fast as possible with fewer pointless sideways and backwards passes - seen us play very well many times doing this and I'd bet any money we'll look better and stand more chance of winning this game and a few others. Try it Russ, you might like it.

Yes and no.

Russell did promise fun 🙂

What a novel idea - it'll never catch on with SR though.

Pep is already putting into practice things he learned from Russell.

Man Utd seem to be benefiting from getting rid of the clown who was in charge - just saying.

You forgot New owners who have a clue about how to run a football club.

You seem to be blaming the fans for voicing their criticism of bad managers - I think you should be blaming those that appoint them which is obviously SR.

It's not who do we want next it's what do we want next and the answer is a new manager who understands football.

Try looking at the bigger picture - that performance was in no way shape or form acceptable and this is what people are calling out. If you can't or choose not to see that then you probably need to take off the red and white tinted glasses, watch games closer and observe the multitude of mistakes we make and appraise accordingly. I accept that this is not in your remit and you'll continue to seek crumbs of comfort but you're only fooling yourself.

Not a criticism of you but you are stating the bleeding obvious - unfortunately, our manager doesn't agree and is determined to embarrass us by doing things his way which is clearly bonkers but he will continue until the owners decide/realise that he is way out of his depth and unable to coach the method he advocates so strongly. Meanwhile we, the fans, are forced to suffer this garbage week in week out.

If Martin can't set up a side to play decent football against a very poor Stoke side it shows just how limited his talents are. We should have given them a chasing and won by 4 or 5 nil but, in the end, it could have gone either way.

Where are we getting nine points from with this guy running training, setting tactics and picking the side?

Another masterclass inspired by the genius of Russell Martin - I'm sure Pep will have run a tape and will be using it in preparation for City's next game.

Martin has the tactical brain of a goldfish.

Whatever Martin coaches at Staplewood it certainly aint football and will never replace it.

It's the fun Russ promised.

Wonder which side gets the bye in the quarter finals 🙂

Cheesey Bree does it again. Who'd have thought it?

What is Martin trying to achieve? He is utterly clueless.

Wonder if Pep is watching to get a few more ideas from the brilliance of Martin.

I thought the idea of this walking football was to give old blokes a game at their local rec.
