    Warnock would have this squad in the top six. I have no doubt about that.

    I'm not saying that I want Warnock. Not saying that at all. It's more the point that some managers know how to navigate this league - Warnock is one, Martin is not. Daniel Farke is another one who does - Leeds took the far more sensible decision there than we did.

    Oh Russell... terrible yet again. Please no more 'trust the process' nonsense. We would trust it if we could see some positive progress. There is none.

    See for me, I don’t care if we smash Leeds 4-0. Not that we will.

    Nathan Jones beating City in the cup brought him more time.

    No more time.

    Honestly, look at my avatar - that was me at the final whistle, I can’t take anymore, and I think how we all know it will end for me.

    Please SR, please RM, do the decent thing before it is too late…

    We're going backwards if anything. Not progressing. Not seeing shoots of hope.

    Time to get a proper experienced manager in, before the damage is too much. We're nearly at that point already.

    I can see it coming. The crowd will be on Martin's back vs Leeds. But if these defeats continue and he isn't duly removed, I suspect the crowd will quickly turn towards the board instead. They're the idiots making these appointments.

    I genuinely would take Neil Warnock.

    Id imagine this is the point they may act, as they don’t want the **** show pointing fingers their way.

    I really hope it is toxic v Leeds.

    I'd take Dean Martin, any member of the Housemartins, George R.R. Martin and Ricky Martin.

    I’d take Dr Martin and give RM a big kick up his fat arse with them. The ones with the steel toe Caps n’all.

    Scar tissue? Yes. But this is a ****ing joke with the squad that they've given to him. Even if it takes time, it should not be this bad. 19 shipped in just eight games, conceded 3+ in four matches and lost five of his first nine in all competitions.

    When we were looking for a new manager, it was reported that Enzo Maresca was our favourite, but he said no. He then went to Leicester a few weeks later. Can’t understand why he wouldn’t want to join us.

    Playing the right players in the right positions. I never realised that was such an outlandish, unrealistic request, that it's impossible to find a manager who can do that.

    I think the worst thing of all this is Martin was a ****ing CB. He should be able to make a team hard to score against. We're the complete opposite.
