well I think Leighton Baines has well and truly thrown a grenade on the offic floor of the efc shareholders with his comments yesterday. it's quite clear he's lost faith in the manager as have most of the team and all us fans. I just hope that appropriate action will now be taken. Ed, on a scale of 1-10 what is the likelihood of the clueless 1 being dismissed now or at the end of the season?

{Ed025's Note - that is a bone of contention that is difficult to forecast soli, im told that the board is split on his future and that some believe he is doing ok (how the hell they think that is beyond me), so i cant really see his future being in doubt until the cup run is over at the earliest mate..

Two semi-finals and mid-table finish, may well be acceptable to some members of the Board but more relevant, Mr Kenwright still remains Chairman and we all heard his comments on the Manager. Perhaps as well our new majority shareholder may have been hoodwinked by waffle, after all he has appointed Ecclestone to the Board - a quite baffling decision in my view. I am just playing Devils advocate here.

Since Moshiri is not on the board and if the board is split as Ed stated then I can only imagine that the dissatisfied member is Ryazantsev since I can't see Kenwright, Woods or Elstone wanting Martinez replaced yet. I think we have to get Kenwright and Woods off the board before we see big changes in the board strategy. It will be interesting to see how far Moshiri is willing to allow the board to dictate how the club is run.

This decision may cause a split between Moshiri and Kenwright, let's hope Moshiri wins.

I'm fairly sure, that should our new owner needs to over rule Kenwright, Lord Granchester, would be only to glad to lend his assistance!

Can someone explain to me how saying "There is no chemistry" means Martinez has lost the dressing room.
Surely chemistry is the interaction between the players not the relationship between the players and Martinez.
The way I read it he's having a go at the players saying they are playing for themselves, to get a move away from the club, ie Lukaku, Stones, Miralles.
That the players don't want to take any responsibility, there is no "banter" between the players, no one gets a bollocking from the captain for screwing up.
That's what I understand as chemistry not that Martinez has lost the dressing room.
