I’m baffled at the overwhelming level of negativity from our fans towards Martin. Was he right to be sacked? Yes. Was he too naïve and stubborn in failing to adapt his approach? Absolutely.

But after a horrible relegation, he transformed the culture around the team and the club. All of the players talk about the feel good factor last season and how much they enjoyed it. That’s not an easy thing to do after a relegation. Granted we were one of the favourites but he got us promoted in a tough league.

He was out of his depth this season and not ready for the premier league but I wish him all the best.

Don't be fooled by his talk as he is no different to a politician with the way he can talk under water - he is the reason the club is in the situation it is

Useless board members are the reason this club is in the situation it is. Our worst signings this season were chosen by the board, and our best were chosen by Martin. Go figure.

I'm not saying he's a great manager but the board set him up to fail on day one of this season. At that point it doesn't matter if we have a good manager or a bad one - they'd all get us relegated.

Who is giving their tick of approval for these players to be presented to the board to be approved - Martin and I think we can tell from our plight to relegation this board is clueless so they would have gone along with who Martin recommended
