    I suspect many players will already be thinking about leaving at this point. Sticking with Martin this long doesn't exactly scream ambition either.

    If there's someone available who we consider a high level target then I'm happy with that but I don't want to work our way down a list of managers saying no and end up making a "he'll do" appointment.

    If our top 3 targets don't want then I'd rather not throw an expensive target and wait til later in the season where there might be more options.

    Can we take out the "stick with Russell" option now!?

    Of the names on the list then Rohl would probably be my choice.

    I want to us to go back to high energy pressing football. Unfortunately the team is not physically capable of competing on that plane.

    Ah, the days of the Adkins/Poch/Koeman football - the stuff of legend.

    Danny Rohl for me. Will be ideal for the Championship and if he somehow managed to keep us up he'll have done a quite incredible job.

    He just needed more time. Everyone expects instant results these days. No trusting in the process. No bravery.

    For everyone talking Rhol, I haven't seen S Weds play. What is their identity?

    Won’t suggest anyone I believe is very unrealistic, which rules out Moyes, Potter etc.

    I’d like Danny Rohl if we’re thinking long-term, but would also be pretty good with Steve Cooper or Carlos Corberan

    Sheffield Wednesday fans are ****ting themselves now. I would feel bad for them but hey, we've been there with Poch and Koeman.

    Rohl for me.
    Kept Wednesday up last season against all the odds and a ****e owner. Current 9th this season.
    Wednesday fans love him.
    As an outsider if we can’t get in a long term manager, I’d take Benitez as now chance a Moyes or potter come in.

    Whoever is the worst man for the job, that we are, almost to a supporter, united on thinking is totally not suited to the task in hand, it'll be that one.

    Put your money on it now....

    Didn’t Mourinho say he wanted to manage a lowly team? :bandit:

    On a serious note, I had faith in him til half a dozen games ago, based on the players' apparent fondness of him and his style. But versus Villa and again tonight, it was clear that the players are mentally fatigued. It's no surprise given the demoralising effect of giving so many stupid goals away. Worst performance I've ever seen from KWP tonight. And that speaks volumes alone.

    I moaned recently about the amount of first minute and last minute goals we've conceded under Martin, so its fitting that Spurs scored in both the 1st and 48th minutes tonight. So bizarre how this team lacks concentration at the beginning and end of halves. Every game.
