If you're so sure lets see the screenshot of the grand you've put on him at 13/2

Simple and effective, sounds amazing to me.

He's on a 2 week management crash course.

Yeah, the situation we're in now even as bad as it is we will still be in a strong position next season for promotion again.

Not that long, it started under Adkins.

13/2 is pretty incredible odds considering the position we're in.

Think his first game in charge was Middlesbrough at home, wasn't it? Went 2-0 up playing excellent football before some questionable subs and throwing it away.

This for me more than anything else is what will get him sacked. His attitude is disgusting.

Yeah it's been an issue since Killick came in. They're fully (over) commited.

Social media, twitter in particular, love sharing fake images of incidents and making them viral. Having said that the image in question if you reverse search it doesn't return any historical results. Seriously hope he's doing ok because if he was genuinely in that wreck, it looks bad.

I went to my local non-league team, Dorchester today. They went 1-0 up then had a dodgy red card and penalty given against them, went in at half time 2-1 down. The players and fans came out for the second half angry and up for the challenge - and ended up winning the game 4-2. That kind of resilience, determination and ACTUAL bravery I don't remember ever seeing in a Russell Martin Saints team. I'll be sticking to watching the Magpies from now on.

So brave, so proud.

Watch us win and the result of the match be nullified due to them playing an ineligible player.

I agree but it seems more and more like that is what they've committed to.

At least when we go down we can have another go at actually winning the league.

Yep, we need to come to terms with it. The board have decided they're keeping him even after relegation, their target is to be in the Prem for the 27/28 season and anything that happens in the interim is irrelevant.

Was it not a piss take aimed at Martin? Didn't think it was meant to be funny, more pointing out how ridiculous it is that anyone would prioritise possession over creating chances.

You haven't been following that entire conversation. We weren't talking about the likes of Fernandes and Dibling.

I think it's nonsense that his style of play is negative. Similar to Koeman for me, just taking advantage of pace and strength to get the ball into attacking areas as regularly as possible. I also point out he's won a European trophy with West Ham.

Trust the process.

Then make him interested. Contract till the end of the season only with a huge bonus if we stay up. Even if we do stay up he's not tied into anything, if we go down everyone will know the damage was done before he came in.

The idea behind the plan is that by the time the team comes back up the majority of them will have had 2 years together instead of the usual 1.

Best benchmark for me is the fact that we've conceded 9 goals due to unforced errors compared to the next worst team who conceded 5. Before last night's game, we made 20 unforced errors which led to shots on goal - more than the next two worst teams combined.

It might get to the point where we have to just suck it up and accept the plan was always to accept relegation and come back stronger, as if we're a Blackpool or Wigan instead of a club that's been in the top flight for the majority of the last 40 years and played in Europe and multiple cup finals.
