It’s always been the case.

He must be wanting the sack so that he isn’t tainted with beating Derby’s record.

His post-match outburst on Saturday is just part of that mission.

Poll: When will Martin be sacked?

It's nothing like Kompany.

Rusty is like Adkins, totally out of his depth in the PL. His career path will also follow that of Adkins after leaving us.

His path may be similar but he is nothing like Nigel who was honest to a fault.

Sounds familiar!
He’ll be stood hands in pockets in his technical area staring at the the ground dreaming of the sack very soon.
Ralphtastic!

We are down anyway so I am gonna start a campaign to keep Martin in post until we have a) been relegated and b) gone down with a record low points. At that point get shot as we will have tarnished his cv and there is no doubt relegation is on him.

What instructions is RM giving his players in the photo at the top? My guess is he's shouting "Why the fvck are you passing it forward? Pass it back that way."

I think buying Championship standard players (apart from Ramsdale) as helped the push for Derby’s record.

A press article today making similar points:

For me, the point isn't that RM needs to be more flexible. Rather his whole approach is doomed from the outset. We will never succeed in the PL even with a tweaked version of his style.

POTD I think for that, providing we've got someone inbthe pipeline that coils start working on getting us back up. He will also need to have ideas on the squad etc
One thing we can't have is that tvvat staying with the view that he's taken us up once, and can do it again, and he will therefore take us back down again!

If he was concerned about his reputation he would show that he can manage well by adapting to suit the players at his disposal. Downside to that is that he must surely have had some say in the players (that turned out to be cr@p) which won't help him

Yes, but in the PL we'll never have those players. It's well past time for the club to stop pretending we're Man City and start playing in a way that suits the type of players we can afford.

Ever the optimist I hoped this season we'd survive but I remember feeling pretty uneasy listening to pretty season interview with our beloved leader and he kept emphasising the style of football wouldn't change.

Where pragmatism and survival is the name of the game for newly promoted teams, Martin in hindsight was either arrogant or deluded or both to think this style would keep you up.

I suspect he has his own personal agenda of self preservation at the cost of our club.

To play out from the back in the Premiership you have to have very good players to do it.
Once you lose the ball most Premiership clubs have the quality players to punish you.
Never been a fan of passing out from the back(particularly the way we do) because when you lose the ball your opponent has the ball close to your goal.
What I don't get about Martin is he cannot see its not working,we have played 15 games and lost 12.
Communication is certainly not one of Martins(if any) strong points.
Whats the latest on Stewart and Tall Paul et etc?
He plays players out of position,team selection is erratic and his substitutions even more so.
The straw that broke the Camels back has been his criticism of fans wanting the ball forward rather than sideways.
The owners letting this drag on need to have a good look at themselves because the fans had had enough.
