What can Marti do?

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

Just read this via an internet search.

If that happened I would be done for the rest of the season.

I was baffled at timing of his new contract. It was really premature. If upstairs loved him so much why not do it over the summer? Doing it several games into a season we had started poorly was plain weird.
I'm wondering if there was some real/fake interest in Marti from somewhere else, possibly in Spain, so club felt it needed to "protect its asset" and ensure we got decent compo if he did a "Beale" on us?

One thing, my view is Marti signing that contract meant he was giving validation to the summer recruitment. He was basically saying, yes - I'm happy to stay here with these players. I think that's an important point to keep in mind when folks try and blame the players instead of Marti for our predicament.

Another excellent point, but Marti was hardly likely to say 'hey look i've signed this new contract, but i'm not sure about these players so don't blame me if it goes #### up'

We'll see in coming gales and interviews if he drops any further hints that he's not happy with the signings.

I hope we don't see another Warbs toys out the pram strategy of picking the wrong players in the wrong positions to cut off his nose to spite the face.

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!

We should be recalling loans like this.

I heard, & it could be total ######, that he had actually signed it in the summer. But they didn’t release the news until the fan forum just to have something “good” to report. The same goes for JCS & Dembele, those deals were tied up preseason.

Surely every contract has a break clause in it stating how much would be owed in the event of a sacking? Do managers really get their contracts paid up in full? If we had to pay him more than three months salary for his opportunity to manage on England I'd be very suprised. But perhaps nothing suprises me as far as Qpr is concerned

List of free agents supposedly available. Not sure how it would work with work permits etc.

Marti needs to persuade the board to invest come January. Chair and Demby are prob gonna be long term out.
Need to look for cheapos everywhere. Only way out of this madness.

Stop picking Santos would be a good start. Guy isn't even a footballer.

Given our injury crisis i'm not sure what else to do if one of our defenders needs to come off. But he's certainly not showing enough to start or to be considered for anything once players return.

Despite the naff performances, setup and signings, i still think Marti gets another 3 - 5 games. International break, get some players back, go again.

Look at his Leeds line up and then look at who should be in some of those positions. Yeah, the performance was torrid, as weak as i've ever seen and i feel sorry for the fans that travelled to watch that.

But if he had Paal, JCS, Colback, Chair, Fox, Frey it would be alot easier to blame him. No those are not world beating players but they do make up 50% of our best or at least first choice starying 11 from this squad.

If only for the fact there's a contract to buy out it's worth another few games before the chop.

He better be working smarter this break though.

Get Nourry’s PC updated to the latest versions of Excel, and put him on a training course on how to use it, concentrating on the sort function.

[Dono77]

International break, we are bottom, 10 points from a possible 45. Offically worse off than when he took charge. In the post match interview he sounded as downbeat and out of ideas as i've heard a coach.

What can he do in the next 2 weeks? Nourry can be blamed for whatever but the possible solutions to this current shower of sh&t3 land soley at the feet of Marti and his staff.

What are our solvable problems, given we are not getting a new striker etc.

Assume all players are fit and healthy in 2 weeks time.

Stop picking Santos would be a good start. Guy isn't even a footballer.

I know the answer. Let’s say we have 20000 proper fans. If we all chip in a grand up front and £500 extra a year we’ll raise £20m and enough for the new signings wages. Might even get a good striker for that. Lots of doses of realism needed or luck with cheap signings!

I spend enough money supporting Qpr and I'm not donating money to billionaires. If they want to put more money in they can sponsor another stand or other marketable assets. They've got more money than me. A lot of fans lost money buying shares in the club many years ago too.

Our boring , slow , sitting deep lacklustre performances have to change ....we sit bottom.
Marti spends all week drilling in his style of play and the tactics he wants us to adopt on a Saturday afternoon.
He has to go or we go down , don't know who we can get in but give him more time and we will get cut off
