Russell Martin hits out at Oxford United fans at Leicester

The U’s shocked League One by thrashing Leicester 4-0 at the King Power Stadium last weekend.

Mark Harris scored twice as Mo Missanga and Jamie McDonnell both notched to secure a statement victory for Aaron Ramsey’s Yellows.

Since the heavy defeat, Foxes boss Martin has come under intense pressure from fans and the media as the side languish in 18th place in the league after a poor start to the season.

During the loss, the travelling United fans were heard singing “you’re getting sacked in the morning” whilst the home supporters began pouring out of the stands as the score line increased.

In his preview of Leicester’s next match, an away trip to Stockport County, Martin hit out at the U’s fans.

“The Oxford fans sang I was ‘getting sacked in the morning’. I haven’t.

“The energy we built up went back to square one because of how we lost.

“Everyone is calm, we have a process.

“It will get better when we start winning games, and we will.”

The 40-year-old was appointed Foxes boss in June after the club’s relegation from the Championship alongside Oxford and Sheffield Wednesday.

He previously had an unsuccessful 123-day spell in Scotland with Rangers.

Prior to that, Martin took Southampton to the Premier League with a play-off final victory over Leeds at Wembley before being dismissed after just one win in the top tier.
