What can Marti do?

[QPRFCJIM]

Whilst we have the injuries we have and he needs to be pragmatic/swallow his pride/get his head out of the clouds at home as well as away and get at least a point in each game by any means necessary. I don't care what the football looks like home or away just become very hard to beat for the time being. We keep fannying around we will get deeper and deeper in the brown stuff.

Roll on the Jan window.

PS He's not a bad manager by any means but he needs to learn and learn quick.

What can Marti do? F*** all really. Still if we get rid of flash harry Nourry might come back as League One champions next year.

But would clubs with a budget give them a second look? We should think BIG - no reason we can't interest a managerial Whale. Don't even have to be "manager"... 6-month consultancy with esoteric description like "Director of Strategy" so if it goes titties up it's not technically a stain on their manager track record .
Surely Ange would be in breach of his visa if Spuds binned him, might suit him to stay in London if he and partner/family have taken a shine to shopping in Harrods. It's football: nothing can be ruled out.

We're not thinking big though

Looks like you cursed him by even thinking about it!
He's now out injured for 3 months too.

Pity is it? When things start going against you they can only get worse! Next time I will mention Celar and Masden!

Larkeche is doing pretty well in Scotland Premiere. Scored three goals from a defensive position! How about bring him back and send Santos to replace him until the end of the season? I never agreed with sending him on loan. Stupid decision!

Postapoglu & Dyche....? They wouldn't give us a second look with our budget.

I think its more of a case of waiting to see who's coming available on the manager merry-go-round.... Postapoglu? Dyche? Lineker......... One thing: we can't go crawling back to Wild Thing - he's taken Shrews job.

My view is we have to see what happens after the international break. With some injured players back in the team things may look up.

But if we drop him, then it has to be for an experienced championship manager. Get Robins in on the promise of more Jan signings and a direct input to their selection. On that basis he might be tempted.

QPR loanee Ziyad Larkeche is expected to miss the next 10 to 12 weeks through a hamstring tear, The Courier has revealed.

We weren't exactly setting the division on fire before this proliferation of injuries. I hope I am wrong, but I believe giving Marti more time to try to fix things, might be seen as a mistake at sometime in the near future. Given what we have seen thus far, I just can't imagine us coming out and playing in a manner we would all like to see. We are either incapable of doing so, or Marti is out of his depth.

I would be truly happy to see us start climbing the table under Marti, but I just can't see it happening.
The transfer window will be key to any negotiations with a possible new manager.

We aren't sacking Marti before the Jan window, he'll get the window and a month after it i reckon.

The period after this break is vital obviously, so that we don't fall adrift but also in getting to understand if Marti can solve this with some players back, or if he's toast.

Who exactly is going to be back after the break, what is the current status of?

JCS
Paal
Colback
Frey
Dembele
Fox

I see lots of generic muscle / leg injury but no timelines - https://www.besoccer.com/team/injuri...ark-rangers-fc

It'll be a brave (or desparate) man who would take us on. Haven't heard Mark Robbins say anything but couldn't blame him for not fancying it.
How about Justin Welby. I hear he is out of work and has some good contacts!!!

[Sleeping Giants]

Cannot be any truth in that just stirring it up.

French news outlet L'Equip is the apparent source.

[topperharley]

Gregory Vignal ex Liverpool player being touted as a possible replacement for Marti.

Just read this via an internet search.

Yeah, but what utter dross that would be. He done less than nothing.
