My Leicester supporting mate reckons they’ll struggle to sack him because of the lucrative contract they’ve given him.
It’s an odd one with Russell Martin. He first came on my radar when the Guardian did a feature on him as MK Dons manager in league 1 and I seem to recall they were enjoying ridiculous percentage possession stats that were up there with Barcelona, as the highest in European football.
Subsequently did a great job at Southampton in denying Leeds that final promotion spot with us a couple of seasons back, but it’s dramatically fallen apart for him since then.
It might all turn around for him at Leicester in the next few months but the vast majority didn’t want him to start with, so it will probably turn even more poisonous in the coming weeks.
One final point, my mate said the only game they’ve enjoyed this season was the Carabao cup game against us because we let them play out from the back unlike the league 1 teams who’ve swarmed on them and pressed them into giving up possession in hideously exposed situations… |
Did okay at Swansea as well. He has had two disasters, Rangers and Leicester. Leicester looked like a disaster waiting to happen, suprised he took the job. |  | | |

This could sound harsh but..
Burns knew the club he was signing for. One with an ever increasingly under pressure owner. A club off the back of a double relegation.
He also knew the manager he was signing for. A manger who seems to be a magnet for failure and fan unrest.
Burns could have been getting substitute minutes in the Premier League. He'd have come on against Liverpool last night, he's a better option than McAteer. It's actually a bit sad he's in League One. |
To be fair you're not that far off describing the Ipswich Town he joined in 2021! We were a few months into GameChanger by then but there was no guarantee that things would go as they did. | | | |

I'll be honest I don't agree with that at all, but see where your coming from. |  |

still an upgrade for Burns in size of club, attendance size, ambition, facilities and wages !! Got to count for something. | | | |
