Russell Martin poll RESULTS 16:22 - Jan 16 with 2291 viewsKeithHaynes

A number of people seem to have the originator of the poll blocked so -
You can vote here, it closes at 9pm tonight.

The results from around 100 people reflects the following.



Phil has removed his poll but will continue with the discussions. If you do go over to his site keep it civil and don’t give the few reasons to start their usual odd behaviour.

Thanks.

So a vote is overwhelmingly no … but but but we won a game! It must be fixed, he gave a fist bump too, great manager.
So what has been going wrong?
It's the Americans.
Wha5 about the trust putting money in?
🤔
It's the Americans.
What about the individuals putting money in?

It’s the Americans, the truth is out there.

Why the owners though?

They seem to have backed him more than any other manager I can remember. If you combine comparative finances made available and support during tough times, then it’s unrivalled.

No manager is allowed an open cheque book as Cooper found out in that fateful January. We aren’t a club that can do that.

We just have to hope that the ones we bring in that we deem as sustainable are fit for purpose and not crocked loans on their offseason.


I have read the diatribes a couple of times and still see no real reason for explosion of bile.
It seems some fans want money we don’t have spent on players who probably don’t want to come here and who Martin may or may not play to retain the services of a manager who has never been particularly popular and whose playing style is routinely criticised.
To me it looks like someone has decided to open a new front on the attack on the American consortium and the usual suspects are joining in.
I would have thought anyone who lived through the Toshack and immediate post Toshack period would understand the stupidity of letting finances run out of control!
We only have rumours as to which players Martin specifically requested but if true his record of spotting quality has been less than impressive. It is fitting that Winter takes a very conservative approach to the transfer situation.

Explosion of bile ?
From what you stated in another post that’s rich.

It seems that these polls have caused more friction than good.
It is just a football forum.

But why, that’s the real question.

It’s just a simple question and the same question that was asked on here a matter of weeks ago (which gave the same answer).

The truth is, It’s caused so much friction because the answer of them isn’t palatable to what many would like to be the case, but it was the obvious answer.

I can’t fathom why you would think it would be different.

It's a football forum we have had a mixed 18 months surely it can be discussed without friction.

There is no doubt that there are plenty who are not impressed with Russ.

You don't just get that on here I have heard plenty in the pubs before and after games.

I agree there is mixed opinion on RM.
All I am saying is that we should be able to discuss it amicably.
The poll didn't really aid constructive discussion

Surely that's down to the people discussing it not the poll

Exactly.

The reaction was ridiculous, and from the usual suspects.
