I know you’re joking but I actually really like the players we have. Think they all give 100% and seem like a good bunch. I guess Madsen effort you can question but maybe just his style. Compared to squads in the past, they seem to be a good bunch. And to cap it off a top manager.

Seeing as the Board had previously considered paying compensation to secure his services before they did, and that he was the CEO's No.1 choice, it would be quite a comedown for them to bin him off for the heinous crime of finishing above where we did last year, don't you think?
Fair point on the face of it, but this is the mad world of football, so it would hardly be unprecedented!

With so many players still out of contract and in addition a fair few of the remaining players being injury prone , I can’t see many queuing for this job without a very decent wage offered. There will be a few of course, but anybody of note will baulk at the above. The squad is in need of a complete overhaul unless Cook, Colback, Frey, Andersen, Fox take a fair old pay cut and even then are they really good enough? Some are some aren’t. Jimmy will want a pay rise for sure which will almost certainly rule him out. But they have experience and if we do survive which I fully expect us to do , then I’m not sure I trust the people in place to get in the correct players to balance this lopsided sided squad and replace that experience. Tiny 10 fetish and left back phobia doesn’t help.
We don’t have the money to go full beans in the transfer window and there are no options to make money except now for the possible £1 - £1.5m for Kelman . We will have to sell him now as there is simply no one else to make money from. I worry about next season I really do .
But anyway let’s get this season completed first . If we limp home with more defeats than decent results , then Marti like his players has to take some of the rap. But replacing him with someone else will be a very risky move . By the same token , we can’t keep going ok these bad runs no matter who is the coach as sooner or later we’ll get what we deserve.
The fact that it’s happened with several coaches / managers simply tells you where the main issues lie.
We shouldn't sell Kelman just for the balance sheet - he needs to be re-tested before he's deleted by the Cybermen!
Otherwise, I agree this squad needs surgery, even if it has some decent makings (Nardi, Dunne, Chair, Field, Dembele, Saito). As for the manager, I'm ambivalent.

Ambivalent about the manager. Wow, really. I'm shocked. Not once have you ever suggested that's how you feel about him

Every team in the division bar the few top teams goes on bad runs periodically. We just don't notice as much when it's not us.
And the rest, well, every season since we were relegated has been a challenge and it's largely to do with budget.
Yeah we need to keep Marti. He's done well given the hand he has been dealt. 66% dodgy new signings and a couple of our best players on paper unable to do more than 2 games in a row, Definitely need to keep Marti.

Wasn't joking
He was actually on the One Show.
They had Kolli and Chair and showing how the club were accommodating around these guys refuelling during Ramadan.
Think the manager has been key to the group bonding better but we have had some truly awful characters in some of our squads for many years. You are right. Half the battle is liking the people you are going into battle with.More chance of success
