Didn't I read that we were considering Marti when we picked Gareth. Yeah, good choice back then  |  | | |

I think Les said we couldn't afford the buyout of his contract at that point? became a lot easier once the Swedish season was ending. |  |

I thought this was the reason too...
People need to stop beating the club with a stick for something that was really out of their control to a point!! |  | | |

Not too shabby M.C. Thought we were so organised and defensively, the best this season. Whilst always potentially a threat . |  |

He's the real deal. The best thing about this club right now, as Clive has mentioned in his reports a few times |
I'd agree - as long as we all now finally acknowledge the players never were the utter cack most of us vehemently insisted. |  |

Hopefully he stays with us and see where he can take us , but Nourry should start to formulate a list of continuity targets if we should lose him . |  | | |

And also, well done to whomever identified him as the right man for the QPR job. |
Evil Les? |  | | |

Lets be fair, there you have posted a few times about the lack of faith in him, considering he has only been here for a short time.
I do however agree, before he came along, it was a rudderless ship that the players had given up on. Certainly had the talent just not the correct guidance. | | | |

I have two thoughts about all this,
Thought number one. We survive. MC gets a close season to mould a squad that he wants. And then we will have a season to really enjoy before he gets picked off by a bigger club. But having a decent squad to push on with, we'll be able to attract a clone of MC from abroad, and kick on again from there. And in 10 years from now, we'll be able to look back on the appointment of MC as the turning point in our club's modern history.
Thought number two. We are not allowed nice things. And an approach from Barcelona is probably only a few months away. |  | | |

To think he’s done this with a side that allegedly has a few bad apples in the squad. If he can keep us up I’m confident he can clear the rot and reset the squad culturally next season… then who knows how far he/we can go! |  | | |

Especially if we get the boost of a sell on fee from Eze being transferred to help him strengthen the squad. [Post edited 3 Mar 5:40]

Dozzell loan to Brum real sliding doors turning point. Also, there is some Ainsworth legacy in that Cook, Colback and Smyth all playing key parts in survival fight. Even fans least favourite Begovic at the very least no worse than Seny Dieng last season. | |

Thinking that we stay up, have more financial room next year, we’re in the playoffs with Marti, i think he’s that good. Martinis are that good too |  | | |

Just as Critchley never felt like he fit with us, Marti has felt right from the moment he walked in. Praying it falls in our favour and we beat the drop. Would be more optimistic about next season than many in last decade |  | | |

I have said previously that in the final weeks of Gaz's tenure, I couldn't stand the players, club, Jude, box office Connor etc. I genuinely thought I hated them.
However, when Marti arrived, I likened it to watching a gripping box-set, where all these old characters that you previously thought were dead or were baddies are revealed to be on the side of the angels but just needed to be forgiven or that they weren't dead, they'd been held hostage, have escaped and are slowly rebuilding their lives etc.
Every week is a new twist: Dunne, shunned and broken, re-emerges as a right back and shows his love for us all; Dykes, a man whose blood type is tattoo ink, pilloried for his lack of goals, poor link up play and lack of vision, splits the opposition centre backs with his run, looks up and lays on a cross that opens the scoring; a club with no hope, no cash and in the mire suddenly unveils 4 new players, all of whom make us better; the club with no chance, goes away to the runaway leaders and schools them in what counterattacking football looks like, with a squad built from Lego...
I mean, come on. Who's writing this stuff? Can't wait for the next episode. |  |

MC is a very educated Football Coach, lots of ideas to improve the Team, gives all the players a chance.....a proper manager, coach whatever you want to call it.
& btw this is happening without a DofF.......whatever that role is because I do not know.
Also, he is not going anywhere either......relegated or not. | | | |

He seems to have a really good blend between man management, tactical acumen and coaching. We are seeing for the first time in a long time our players getting better.
However let's not underestimate what a transfer window we just had, where we strengthened all over the park and now with real competition for most places. In addition the medical / performance team have given us a full roster for the best part of two months |  | | |

On top of all that, we've found a way to stop conceding from every single set piece and actually scored from one yesterday. One of the many interesting sub-plots. |  |

Agree with your last point. All the separation anxiety is a bit silly. |  |

The truth is that none of know for sure but maybe some are feeling a bit anxious after what happened with Beale.
It wouldn’t be that surprising if a top championship or relegated premiership club comes knocking or even Brighton if De Zerbi leaves in the summer given they pinched Potter from Swansea following a similar career trajectory.
But no point worrying about something that’s completely beyond all of our control! |  | | |
