Think the last part of The Guardian’s piece summed it up. The refusal to change tactics is for the manager’s benefit, not the club’s.

He’s won at least one premier league match, that makes him better than Martin.

Hughes did a good job keeping us up in his first season.

We’ll probably all find out. Game on Saturday.

8th charity match Russell has been involved in this season then.

He’s done a fucking good job of finding them to be fair.

Option 2 just looks like indecision. Option 3 is relegation.

I don’t get the Trent love-in. He does knock a decent ball in time for time granted, but he gives it away a hell of a lot and can’t defend for toffee. Him and Bellingham were getting on my tits yesterday, trying loads of fancy flicks as if they were the Harlem Globetrotters. None of them came off.

You’re speaking my language. It’s as if players from yesteryear like Moore, Charlton, Greaves, Peters, Keegan, Robson and Gazza were nothing but long-ball merchants. Overload the midfield, low block, high block, recycle, transition - what a load of fucking shite. I’m 54 and preferred the game 25 years ago to the tactical bore fest it is now.

Is this another game of 3-2-1. I see rustling leaves. Is Russell leaving or have I won Dusty Bin?

Does he play possession-based football?

See Carsley thinks you can play the game without a centre-forward as well. With similar results. Coaches trying to reinvent the game. Clever fuckers aren’t they.

That David Moyes is a fucking good manager.

Still trying too hard.

The club pay people to ‘come up with a solution’. There are managers out there, both in work and out of, that we could appoint. Also, experienced pros like Moyes and Potter play the game. They’ll make the club do the chasing and put themselves into a better bargaining position. You may be right, and neither are interested. But just because that’s the noise coming from the teaboy at the agency, doesn’t mean it’s the truth. Check this link of out of work managers: https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/trainer/verfuegbaretrainer/statistik and take your pick. Plenty of choices there.

Problem is Russell is a shit manager who has one way of playing that is totally unsuitable for his squad and simple to play against. The solution is to relieve him of his duties. It’s not fucking rocket science. You can’t leave a failing manager who is tactically inept in place.

I would rather Ethel the fucking tea lady picked the side rather than that arrogant prick Martin.

He’s the biggest tit out of the three of them.

You may be right, but why wouldn’t Potter come here. He’s not getting the Man U job or England. A premier league club is a good move for him. Apparently, he messed Leicester about a bit so they went and got Cooper. Im not so sure he is out of our reach, he’s hardly Ancellotti.

Sacking Martin for Potter isn’t a binary choice. We just need someone better than Martin. That is a pretty big pool.

It’s a football club not a Ford Escort!

Fucking hell, is this a full-time job for you?

He’s a snake oil salesman. What a load of old tosh. Can the board please sack him. Giving him the Leicester game is wasting valuable time that someone who knows what they’re doing to get to know his new squad. It will also be throwing more points away. Delaying the inevitable.

Football really is over-complicating itself. Too many clever-clogs out there (not talking about you saintant).

Different world.
