Should be catapulted at the sun to be honest.
This was always going to happen with Russel Martin insisting on AAATB football with a hopelessly outmatched squad. Should be sacked after this.
He said he’d be sacked before he changed his style. Makes the chairman’s job even simplerShould be catapulted at the sun to be honest.
Went down to prep his HT team talk so missed the 5th goal. ClownMartin should be sacked at half time ffs this is hilarious
Some chants for his sacking just now.Passing around in your own half slowly and all pedestrian when 5-0 down is peak Russel Martin ball
Inevitable really, 9 points adrift.He’s gone.
Said the same thing in the pub earlier . Walking off to the dressing rooms like a prima Donna and then conceding again??Martin should be sacked at half time ffs this is hilarious
I've said for a few months now to my Manure supporting friends that they both play for themselves . I remember a stat from last season where they had about 10-12 attempts on goal yet Hojland hadn't had a touch in the opposition box .No Rashford or Garnacho in match day squad. Amorim marking his territory early.
Mental to think this being flown about after 6 PL titles and one bad run. Looking back to ourselves, it can show how easily a solid foundation can be undone. But Man City have a few players in their team that over the hill with Walker and KDB being 2 such players.It wouldn't surprise me if he stood down tonight. 8 defeats from 11
Pep has been to slow in refreshing the team maybe he didn’t as he hadn’t decided his future.Mental to think this being flown about after 6 PL titles and one bad run.

Even if Pep survives this run, the aura of invincibility has gone with a resurgent Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal in the frame.
It’s what made Fergie great being able to constantly reinvent the team and beat every ‘upstart’ he came against. This a big test for Pep.
Yep, agreed. He just looks like a broken man at the minute, like you said hes relying on 1-2 players who are over the hill. Then brought back 34 year old Gundagan back. He's got a fair few other players around the 30 mark too. He's not been great at succession planning and refreshing the squadMental to think this being flown about after 6 PL titles and one bad run.

His stubbornness and insistence in playing the same aging players has cost them players like Cole Palmer.Yep, agreed.

The worry will be that once that aura of invincibility has gone it won't come back, just like it did with Fergie in the end.
Unpopular opinion but I would have wanted Martin as our manager had he been sacked a month ago.
I wouldn’t expect instant success with him (same as I feel about Lampard) and there’s every chance it would go badly wrong (ditto) but if your brief is to find a “Head Coach” who will instil a clear football philosophy in the team, then Martin fits that better than any of the rumoured names we had. The fallout on here would have been spectacular of course.His record is pretty mediocre. Fair play he got Southampton up last season but given the strength of their squad, you'd have expected them to get to the play offs at least anyway. At MK Dons and Swansea he flattered to deceive, with a 37% win record.

Fergie’s teams also went through some pretty barren spells in the early 2000s and again when Mourinho arrived. His skill was in constantly reinventing the team, does Guardiola have it?Mental to think this being flown about after 6 PL titles and one bad run.

Yeah and tbf I’ve said that really we need someone who’s pragmatic at the moment. Hopefully that’s Lampard.This is why he was sacked from Southampton
refused to shift from his “clear football philosophy” to a more pragmatic style, to be a more attractive appointment for future employers.
I’d rather a manager that puts the team above himself and wants to win
All due respect to Southampton, they don’t really have the squad capable of staying up playing with their ‘clear football philosophy’. Same with Burnley under Kompany and Maresca had he stayed at Leicester (academic ofc). That rebuild could define Pep’s legacy in that GOAT conversation which is why I think he’ll past 2026.This is why he was sacked from Southampton

Just the worst rule. Make one-club players affordable again!FFP incentivises teams to sell academy players as it represents 100% profit.
I’d be surprised if Robins was interested in the Hull job and genuinely think he’d be exposed at both Saints and Wolves to be honest.Anyone know what the odds are of Robins going to Wolves or Saints? Or does not getting the Hull job mean he is not that highly regarded? Have Millwall appointed yet?
Nah absolutely not for me. He's way too one dimensional and would insist on a style that wouldn't suit this team in the slightest.Unpopular opinion but I would have wanted Martin as our manager had he been sacked a month ago.
Millwall, from a random up the match on Saturday!Anyone know what the odds are of Robins going to Wolves or Saints? Or does not getting the Hull job mean he is not that highly regarded? Have Millwall appointed yet?
Social conscience?How have they ever got to the stage Rashford is on £365k a week?
