Tbh this is a bit harsh. Clearly his mrs took the photo. People are allowed to have a life even though they manage a football team 🤣

Definitely. His tactics and decisions cost us last season too. Very comfortable to say he didn’t get the absolute best out of the squad last season, either.

Christ alive, massive credit to you. You must be an excellent father/husband/son. I’d rather watch Russell Martin explain the intricacies of possession based football for 2 hours than watch that steaming pile of turd

Shit players Shit Manager Shit owners Shit

Problem is I agree with this, but all our other options are even worse….

Who’s voting ‘no’? 😂

This is, and I don’t say this lightly, the most stupid forum post I have ever read. Setting up to lose every game pitifully should be a source of pride for the supporters? Mediocrity is a distant dream under this manager.

This has absolutely cracked me up 😂 Strengths: None

He doesn’t know how to set up a midfield. Downes bailed him out in the championship because he’s class. But now he’s been totally found out. You can’t play Adam lallana and Aribo as defensive midfielders at this level. It’s moronic.

Worst part is, he is still Albert Einstein compared to Rasmus at picking managers

We aren’t making 20 points if Martin stays. If he goes - then maybe

- Recruitment: Terrible - Manager appointments: Worse than terrible I do quite like the fan zone and the stadium improvements though, so there’s that. But all in all, these guys are fucking idiots

Jesus Christ. We are royally fucked. Can’t wait for a couple of signings of the calibre of BBD and Sulemana. That will save us! Whats Orsic up to?

Fuck it, let’s just keep him. It will be quite funny to watch the arrogance drain away after months of getting beaten. Surely he can’t call the team brave when we are still on 4 points at Christmas

22 Pompey fans on the board. Fair play

Has he fucking gone yet?!?

Thanks for Wembley Russ. Times up.

This is fucking horrific. BBD might be worse than Ali Dia. Our tactics and general malaise is just beyond embarrassing PLEASE can we appoint someone competent

Anyone else bored? Dunno if it’s just me or if this style of football. Feels like we create no excitement

I still have serious doubts that this playing style is getting the best out of this squad. Based on the season so far our players are more than a match for Ipswich, Leicester, Everton etc. so we can compete if we stop giving away ridiculous goals. We were very poor again for a large portion of that game. But the winning feeling is so good, who cares. Ramsdale is a sensation. Can’t believe he’s ours. What a keeper.

Russ, what are you doing posting essays on here? Shouldn’t you be preparing the team for the game? Btw this is all absolute fucking nonsense. We aren’t hostile to him for any of the above reasons. We are hostile to him because he’s embarrassing our football club and he’s not good enough. He was poor last season too btw. A better manager would have had our squad competing properly. I’m not sure why you and your best mate find that so difficult to comprehend.

This is because it’s absolutely insane to be going into a huge six pointer with an absolute muppet in charge. Every other PL club would have sacked him by now

Not even joking, I genuinely have seen better players at Sunday league. Im not even sure how he got goals in the championship based on his performances so far. I don’t recall a worse first touch from a professional footballer Is he out of shape/unfit compared to his Blackburn days? Did anyone watch him before?

Credit where credit’s due, the club have actually managed to get 3 or 4 of the worst wingers I’ve ever seen into one squad, at the same time. You could go down to a random sports field in Southampton on a Saturday/Sunday, pick out any random player, and they honestly couldn’t be worse than this lad, BBD and Sulemana. Absolutely shite

I wouldn’t trust Sports Republic to sign an autograph Can guarantee this window will be another disaster where we end up weaker
