Currently under pressure Leicester City manager Marti Cifuentes has probably saved himself from the sack – for the time being.  However, I would imagine that certain factions of the Foxes’ Blue Army fan base still hold the former Queens Park Rangers man under scrutiny on Filbert Way. Though we must offer Cifuentes partial leeway due to him inheriting an uneven and somewhat overvalued squad.

Not to mention that The Catalan boss did not technically have a penny to spend at King Power Stadium so to speak. This meant he couldn’t sufficiently organise players, nor begin putting his own image on the starting lineup as such. Nevertheless, City should still have managed to produce better results overall; they should also be higher up in the English Football League Championship table.

So this leaves Cifuentes in what I would describe as a precarious position in Leicestershire. Will he stay or will he eventually go? Only one or two successive bad displays could mean the curtains closing for the 43-year-old, as they say. Should Cifuentes be dismissed from his Leicester job, fans will surely not want one linked head coach to arrive. A figurative riot would transpire if our tone-deaf King Power owners and the out of touch board hypothetically hire this gaffer.

Russell Martin is effectively not welcome at Leicester City – that supposed potential appointment would make no sense whatsoever

According to lesser trusted media outlets (thank the Lord!), Martin is a significant name on City’s future wishlist – if Cifuentes is eventually relieved of duty. That’s what Football Insider assert, anyway.

“Russell Martin is among those touted to take over at Leicester if the Spaniard is shown the door, with the Englishman available after he was sacked by Rangers in October.”

Why would City supporters be outraged and further at odds with the chairman and director of football if this occurred? Martin failed miserably in the Premier League with Southampton. He subsequently and recently suffered a laughable tenure with Rangers. Yet you still wouldn’t put it past Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha, nor John Rudkin!
