The Kraken

He really is taking it quite badly 😪

Not the worst thing in the world. Lowe often used to have managers on a 1 year rolling contract. We’re pretty much dead and buried in the premier league, if we decide to jettison this fella in the summer then we pay him a year’s wages. Not ideal, but as the Jesse Marsche situation showed us, you may struggle to get someone you actually want and who isn’t inside the club already to commit to a tenure of 6 months. I still think there’s a potential benefit for sort of doing a 2022-23. Selles/Juric in place just to run through the games remaining, get rid once the season is done and immediately put in place the new hire with a brief to rebuild the squad over the summer. This is slightly different as Juric gets more time in place than Seles did, but the principle remains. And if he pulls off the shock of the century and keeps us up or at least gets us looking somewhat decent, maybe he’s not the worst choice for next year anyway.

And there we have the real reason you created this thread. To try and score some incredibly pathetic point over people you don’t like on an internet forum. What an appalling man.

There’s literally nobody in the role we could have got that’s better than Russell Martin. Nobody.

Am I the only one who doesn’t really know who Andrew Tate is? I’ve looked him up a couple of times before but can’t really work out why he’s famous, apart from he seems to be a particularly distasteful prat.

Charles Amos looks exactly how I’d expect Charles Amos to look.

Were they? Starmer played it well in opposition but all he had to do was let the Tories implode. Everyone knew Boris Johnson was a liar, key press knew about Partygate while it was happening. Starmer asked the right questions at PMQs but Johnson was a complete fool and made a complete cunt of himself by telling fibs then being immediately caught out on it. Liz Truss, well that was just the biggest own goal ever. And Sunak, despite being the “sensible” appointee was actually inept, advised abysmally, and made ricket after ricket. I said at the time of the election and I haven’t changed my mind much. Starmer isn’t in any way inspiring but he’s clearly an intelligent man which makes him stand well above the three before him and what’s opposite him now, just because he shows a semblance of relative competence. And that’s with Labour making what can best be described as a poor start to governance.

Captain Jack, obviously. When he gets back from suspension, of course.

Decent. Guardian do some decent sport stuff, especially David Squires’ cartoons which are often very funny.

Simon Rusk, according to the OS. U21 manager. Which might suggest the rest of the coaching team are outbound too.

It is, especially as there’s likely to be nobody in the whole world better than Russell Martin to take over.

Agreed. He just needs to leave. I refuse to believe that the club haven’t got replacement options waiting for a call. Get Martin out, it seems to be toxic now and Martin himself looks all out of energy and motivation. Give it to someone like Lallana or one of the coaches for the Liverpool game, get that out of the way, then start again with a new fella, ideally with a contract to end of the season with an option to renew if it isn’t a complete disaster.

He’s lashing out, bless him. Does it a lot.

Martin straight down the tunnel at full time. Wouldnt be surprised if it gets announced tonight that he’s gone. Actually, it would.

R.M. Get out of our club banner 🤣

I can’t believe there’s so many people still inside the ground.

Unlike our first team, who have collectively shit themselves.

“We want Martin out” ringing out.

Fuck me

Probably better off. I’m kind of hoping my tv stream hits the dust soon as well.

Our 4th choice keeper would’ve saved that I reckon

🤪

I’d hope we make at least a tiny bit of a design effort than they did, they made an absolute dogs dinner of it. Very cheap, but looks it.
