I agree - he is same as everyone else, precisely the point
If he is more successful at QPR, he would have better offers, PL teams would be circling around Loftus Road
Not sure why we are still fixated on him when we have a new coach in the house |
Going from us a Club regularly finishing low in the Championship, to Leicester a Club mainly in the PL in recent years but now tending to yo yo with the Championship, a winner of the P/L not too long ago, is very good progression for Marti coming to us from lower level Scandinavian Clubs. This despite Nourri and his best attempts to fakk him over. |  | |  |

Going to a club with a points deduction coming up, no money, hired because your the cheapest but supporters still with great expectations. What could possibly go wrong? |  | | |

That's certainly going to be the big thing there as to whether he succeeds of fails.
They've got FFP issues coming out of their ears, what talent they've got has got to go, they're potentially going to get 10-12 points off. In those circumstances it's a fire fight, and given he took over from Ainsworth six points adrift with 2 wins from 18 games, FFP issues and no money to spend, he's potentially quite a smart appointment. But are the fans of a club that recently won the Premier League, played Champions League, won the FA Cup, parachute payments going to quickly adjust their expectations to the former manager of QPR fighting fires in the midtable of the Championship? When they were winning this division with 100 points two years ago they were accusing Maresca of being boring. |  | | |

That's jogged my memory about that YouTube preview(?) from last season,.where their supporter seemed sound enough, but my god he went on and on about how it was the worst he'd ever felt as a Leicester supporter and how awful everything was. It was really quite pathetic to be honest .
If he's representative of even half the support it'll be a very, very long season for our chorizo munching former maestro. |  | | |

Of course they will lose some players before the season starts - and Luton provide a cautionary tale about parachute clubs - however, every one of their first team squad is a vast upgrade on QPR's.
There's a note running through this thread that implies LFC fans are delusional. With respect, it is QPR fans here who are delusional if they don't see yo-yo Leicester City as a big step-up from Rangers for Cifuentes. Other than Southampton, I can't think of a better place for him at this stage of his career.
We're miles behind them, even with incoming fines. Their stadium holds 12k more (embarrassing when you consider how crap Filbert St was compared to LR) and they have a genuinely successful and productive category one youth academy (as opposed to whatever we think we might have) .
And look at their squad: https://www.lcfc.com/pages/en/teams-men
It's not an easy job. But it's a big promotion for an ambitious coach like MC. Good luck to him. | | | |

That squad will be nothing like that come end of transfer window but as Marti got a tune out of this QPR squad then they will be fine. Almost certain they will be hit with points deduction and I think they will struggle somewhat so doubt they will run away with it. Top 6 at a wild guess | | | |

Ridiculous comment
The guy did well for us, hence why he has an opportunity at a club a little higher up the food chain.
Just the nature of life. You do well. You go somewhere better.
And football, no matter what we think, is a business. A mad and unhinged business but a business all the same.
The guy, as you say, saved us from oblivion, so will always be grateful and good luck to him
Hopefully JS is a step up for ourselves also and we can progress further up the food chain ourselves.
Life goes on, in the meantime. He is our past, but find sudden hatred for a man who did well for us, find it weird. |
He did ok, nothing more other than a few memorable games and an ability to be pragmatic when the need arose.
We have long been crying in our soup about managers getting what manager wants for years, as it clearly wasn’t working. We have needed someone to implement a coherent long term strategy and stick to it, which others simply failed to do.
Marti and Nourry obviously clashed in this regard and Marti obviously didn’t like it and went looking elsewhere at a critical point in our season. Not acceptable and disrespectful to our club and Nourry.
Disloyal and dishonest in my opinion regardless of the Marti love in brigade. | | | |

Time to move on and hope that Stephan is a suitable and successful replacement for Marti.
Won’t boo him on his return. We will never know what happened so time to focus on the future for us. |  |

Sorry, but most on here don't seem to agree. If you think you're being forced out, surely you would look for alternative opportunities. It's not being disloyal to explore possibilities. He told several fans that he wanted to stay.
The compensation, I think, is a smokescreen. We may have paid two or three times that, or more to settle his contract.
I'm not anti Noury, he's done some good things for the long term future BUT he seems to be the villain of this piece. | | | |

What will interest me is how he sets them up to play. Tippy-tappy from the back? Pack the midfield with reducer-merchants? High press from the front?
In two years with us I'm none the wiser as to his "preferred" style and I'm not sure if that's down to him or the game model. |  | | |

Which is why I've got him down to be sacked by Xmas. Those fans are not going to stand for 6 game losing streaks like us lot are.

Agreed
I think most sane Rs supporters would say Marti was a success here; success being very relative.
My view is…… if ANYONE can be a “success” at our clown show of a club then they will excel anywhere.
What Marti has been through in his time with us will serve him in great stead and his learning of this level will be a great asset to the Baby Squad boys.
He’ll do well |  |

There were some terrible games. The 5-0 trashing in the last home game by burnley surely take the cake. Burnley had secured promotion, probably on vacation, did we down tools? It was his last game and it the players were anything but they should be fighting hard for a memorable send off.
I hope we support the new coach as much as the last coach and cont be bias just because he is a Nourry Appointment.

People repeatedly making out like a manager who did a very decent job here was actually sht all along aren't going to help with that.
Nor those suddenly giving it "why don't you just support the club" to anybody with even very mild concerns about where we are right now.
Not saying that's you BTW, just some of the rhetoric I'm seeing around Cifuentes online makes me feel like I've been following a different club for the last 18 months. | | | |

Whilst obviously there is generally a disconnect between fans on forums and fans in the stands, it does seem that their fans generally acknowledge that starting on minus points, with any sellable talent gone and a likely transfer embargo, a mid table finish would represent a fine job.
But of course, it’s always in the hands of the match going fans. Their lineup for the first game of the season is surely going to be a shock to some of those. | | | |
| Marti to Leicester…maybe on 22:48 - Jul 15 with 1061 views | LazyFan |
Let's run the scenario:
- Massive points deduction
- Barred from transfer dealing
- Fire sale of key players
- Lots of injuries
- Yo-yo all over the top 6 and then finish 7th
Marti will claim he was robbed by the points and fire sale, fans will be on his side, and he will get another year. In that year, they will receive yet another set of parachute payments, and it's game on; he can now really press on.
I suspect he will be fine there and will be in the Prem with them. At which point, he will move on to Valencia as he hunts the next big ambition. And you know what, if you can deliver, which he does, then fair enough. If he keeps going on this trend in 4 years, he will be the Real Madrid Manager.
Which will be very QPR!
I am not sure its that a big risk for him really, even if it does go pear, he can always claim it was clusterfeck before he arrived and everyone will nod heads.
Win-win for Marti me thinks. Better than the WBA jobbie so, he's laughing all the way to the Leicester! |  |

| Marti to Leicester…maybe on 22:57 - Jul 15 with 1019 views | numptydumpty |
Great appointment for him.
Actually now makes coming to our club looks favourable for progression elsewhere.
Will see if he really can cut it.
Was one of our better appointments which is not saying much in recent years.
Am hopeful JS is a step up for ourselves also.
I am sure when Leicester visit Loftus Road, am expecting a decent welcome for the guy.
Bitterness is never a good look and no matter what the guy saved us from lower league oblivion.
We all move onwards and hopefully upwards with our new regime !!! |  |

Think you've summed it up in a nutshell.
At the end of the day: he left it in a considerably better state then he found it, while working in challenging circumstances, and he wasn't tembarrassing like his predecessor.
I'd happily have an Estrella with him and I hope he gets a good reception when we play them. Would show some class from us if we gave him that.
Muchas gracias y bueno suete Sen̈or Marti. |  |

All guesswork fuelled by emotion. People choose their heroes and villains from an emotional standpoint regardless of the facts, which there appears to be very little of.
So it’s not disloyal to be looking for another job whilst being under the employ of your current club?
Sorry, doesn’t sit well with me, regardless of what was happening behind the scenes, none of which known and is pure speculation. | | | |
