    This is exactly what I was thinking. While Russell Martin is the most immediate problem, most of our downfall since SR took over stems from decisions made by Rasmus Ankersen.

    Yeah I think it was widely accepted that Jones was Rasmus man. Then Selles was Semmens man. Rasmus always said he was going to keep away from the football side of things but stepped in to steady the ship or whatever when we didn't have a DoF (that went well). But in theory having hired Wilcox, he has stepped away again. Guess we won't know how much influence Rasmus had on RM. I guess I actually hope that he's more Rasmus man, because that at least gives us the hope that Wilcox will be better at selecting the next manager.

    Yeah i agree. Had forgotten all about Selles tbh.

    I think he would be better than Martin right now.

    Jesus, we have that many managers on the payroll right now, surely one of them can come back?

    He's clearly worked on his previous misdemeanours. Good for him and that's only good for you.
