Indeed. Also those 3 players were very tough competitors with strong leadership qualities too. Seems obvious to be signing these types of players to anyone , but it seems it’s taken a while / having someone who knows what they’re doing in charge of transfers, for this to actually happen again.

Our fanbase are one of the softest in the country unfortunately. Even at our lowest point under him, we still had a good 20% of fans wanting him to stay, embarrassing

I may be being a bit over optimistic, but I’d like to think we’d use the loan window to make one final low risk loan signing of a striker to add an extra option up front.

Crappy Seaside B&B attitude to business

Is that live footage of Alpine Saint arriving back at SaintsWeb HQ?

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/c0j93z96wd8o this guy can’t stand Martin 🤣🤣

My take at the time, was that Taylor wasn’t having Martins bullshit philosophy whatsoever and called him out on its flaws, having spent several years playing fairly successfully under a manager in Dyche who’s the polar opposite.

The rot had set in by then. Yes the players weren’t up to it, but they were coached appallingly. And the straw that broke the camels back for most was that when it was clear that a record breakingly bad season was a distinct possibility, he doubled down on his approach and by doing so knowingly threw the entire football club under the bus to protect his own “image”. There is no world where 12 points is an acceptable return. No one will get less than 20 points this season I can almost guarantee you that.

"There's not enough harmony or care for each other quite yet. We knew that coming in... We have to build that. That harmony has been disrupted for sure. There it is. It’s the fact he’s inherited players with a lack of care and harmony. Still the previous managers fault then.

I’d be amazed if they risked him for the old firm game , given the scoreline today on top of the already extreme animosity towards him. If anything the board have been given a very good reason to pull the trigger now with the nature of the result today. They won’t risk going into the weekend with Martin still there

It’ll be the previous regimes fault. Another classic Martin go-to excuse to attempt to deflect from his deficiencies. “There’s no magic wand, this club have been getting bad results for many years”. Straight from the Harry Redknapp school of blaming prior management for his bad results

Surprised he isn’t on here actually……

You mean “keeper to left back, left back to keeper, keeper to right back, right back to keeper”?

May aswell put a bid in for Morgan Freeman as this fella
