Someone on here few days ago said that the next manager would be from split so it looks like they are spot on. I've been there, not as nice as Dubrovnik but an interesting historical centre.

Hahahahahahahahahahahaha He's still fucking going

100% Honestly feels perfect to me. Well done SR.

Time will tell what? 5 points from 16 games. He's relegated us before Christmas. Time has told, we should have got rid earlier.

It's not about who, it's about having enough matches to turn things around. Which was exactly the same kind of thing people like you would have been saying in defence of Martin at thet time, he's still learning, there's 32 games to go. We could have given those games to someone else. But bless you for still peddling the "there is no one anywhere on earth that could better". 5 points from 16 games. OK then.

So it's Friday so we are getting "and there he is watching from the stands" at best for Sunday, meaning Biscuit Boy Rusk gets to be a Premier League manager at least for one match. Interesting that this is by far the longest we have had to wait under Sports Republic - both Jones and Martin were sorted incredibly quickly, in both cases before any speculation was allowed to build up at all. Whether this is good news or not I'm not sure, but really it points to the fact that the job we have on offer right now is pretty low value. If we'd had half and brain and sacked Martin after Bournemouth it would be a different story but the geniuses waited until our dogshit manager had secured relegation for sure and now we have a job with initial failure baked into it.

10/10 for cherry picking.

Moyes is the perfect "resigns in May" appointment, allowing us to recruit the best possible new manager to take us back up in the summer. Moyes will also guide us away from Derby points territory.

You're not taking it well, are you?

Exactly. The hype and hero worship of the guy on here was off the scale. We got promoted via play offs and countless managers before Martin have achieved that from Ian Holloway or Iain Dowie to Rob Edwards or Steve Cooper. All of those named had smaller budgets and more constraints that Martin got. But the Martinettes tried to make out their guy was different, a magical manager set for far greater things at bigger clubs and at a higher level because Vincent Kompany and stuff. Some of us could see that two nothing seasons at Swansea (following two nothing seasons at MK) suggested a different career path. I think it is pretty nailed on that Russell Martin has already had his biggest job in football. But what if he had better players etc etc I think we will discover that this was his best ever opportunity. But we'll see. Top 6 here he comes, right? After all he's loads better than crappy old Mark Hughes.

Nice to see us aggressive and on the front foot.

Ben Brereton Diaz coming on so that means goals goals goals

Well, the officials aren't going to score a goal for him.

Bwing back Wussell Martin 😪😪😪💔💔💔💔

It wasn't in their manifesto this time to be fair. But they should never ever have given that group any time at all, and certainly not given them the encouragement and photo opps etc. I don't think I have encountered a pressure group that I have less sympathy for or support for. Absolute bullshitters most of them and for those that didn't know, well you should have known. Fucking parasites on the scrounge.

Perfect 👌

Our fanbase utterly incapable of singing anything other than "Daaaanny Roo-hl he's one of our own" or some such. A variation of Roll with it would be amazing but until Man City or Liverpool do it for someone else we won't touch it.

Listened the BBC Solent interview with the guy from Radio Sheffield on Rohl. Really positive on the guy but interesting for Solent to set up such a call at this stage.

The age of AI / ChatGPT truly is upon us. I never thought it would come for me.

I don't think anyone gives a flying fuck. Now do Premier League. Let us know when you've finished up adding up all Russell Martin's league wins.

Our leader, who is this blown in on Northern winds A proud craftsman, a reliable valet to guide us Hailing from a proud land, is it viking stock? To repair a torn battlement, to heal from split To mend us, from black and blue, all chewed up To make gold from dust He been far but in many ways is coming home A bridge, a castle and a land of making, but oh, a port? Welcome in, welcome in

Sometimes you just say any old shit.

This is a garbled nonsense version of what people were actually saying. Charles was not good enough last season, highly likely not good enough for the Prem now. When he came in as cover for Downes it didn't work. It was clearly the correct decision to loan him out 100% correct, hope he completes the season and cones back as a player we can use, like Smallbone last year. What you're saying about Rohl is equally twisted. People here started myth making, pretending Ralph was only good because of Rohl. This is despite us having our best seasons after he'd gone. Rohl only really got talked on here about because of that myth that people who didn't like Ralph wanted to be true. Bizarre you've tried to twist it the other way. Otherwise everything you say is spot on. Jesus wept 🙄

Probably true - It does feel like even the era even of 35/36 is over. But the only issue is if we end up with three clubs on mid twenties and then the team in 17th is on 36 points being miles ahead, almost with an unnecessary amount of points. So we need four clubs adrift to give us a chance. Probably not happening. (We're not staying up anyway, I've come to terms with it)

Never heard of him but my Wikipedia career assessments have never yet been wrong. This guy would be a terrible appointment - 20 odd games outside of Denmark and he totally shat the bed. Woeful If he gets the job I'll be going on hunger strike.
