    Ah yes, it was this season I was referring to
    13 games is a big new manager bounce, must be lower gravity up there

    Absolutely. I don’t have a season ticket but I did 16 home games last season and made some great memories with my lad. Roll on next season!

    Why is my son in law talking about rumours of RM as a possible next manager? Listening to Talk Sport or Sky ?

    It’s the worst possible option. EVER! Thanks but no thanks, Russ.

    Starting to think more and more that Cooper is the best option. Look how bad Leicester are right now and is their squad really all that much better than ours?

    Yet they scored in 10 of their 12 league games under him and in those 12 league games got the same amount of points as we have managed all season.

    He's definitely the safest option IMO. He's certainly a good manager but I'm with LTL - his appointment wouldn't excite me as much as Rohl's would.

    He would be good for the academy too. Won the u17 world cup as England youth manager.

    I want Rohl, but are we seeing him as the messiah and putting a lot of expectations on him if we get him?

    I just want a manager with a flexible system who puts round pegs in round holes. That is it.

    I just didn't realise quite how stark the difference was. Leicester's last scored a home goal when Martin was still managing us and have only scored in two matches in 2025 yet they scored in 10/12 games he was in charge.

    The fact he got as many points in 12 games as we've got in 31 really shows up how pathetic we've been too.

    Definitely. He's looked good but working in a pretty low pressure environment at the moment and coming to a team who'll want to win the league is a different type of job entirely.

    No guarantee that he'll cut it.
