Jack Cork a year or so after he left us at Royal Ascot. A few years later Alan Pardew stood right in front of me watching the Royal parade again at Ascot.

One of the few good things about SR is that they haven’t rolled over for the big boys, or anyone, when it comes to letting players go. If a club meets the valuation then fair enough, said player will go, but if they fall well short last time out it was met with a firm no. I don’t expect that to change.

Do you still bother? Haven’t you suffered enough the past 10 months? 🤣

I fear that Brentford will sink like a stone if he goes plus losing Mbuemo and others. Pity but they’ve obviously pissed off the bigger clubs so it’s their turn, we’ve been down that road 😏

Big wage earner, very average player, may well be more of an asset in the Championship as shown before but painfully slow and I'm not sure that fits the WS way so hopefully he'll be gone.

Umm, we'll see. In pretty much the same way the players defaulted to Russball last season after he'd left cos it was so ingrained in them I find it very hard to believe the master will be able to change, even if thats his intention. Words are easy 2 months away from their first match.

As some have suggested the interviews when they lose a game will be interesting. Much more media spotlight than little old Southampton. If he got chippy at that nice mild mannered Adam Blackmore he's gonna be epic value when he comes up against Glaswegian fans and journalists !

Would be more than happy with that !

They changed it the following season so the badge sat in a black circle, looked much better, that’s probably your memory as it is mine

Had to laugh at this on X (Twitter) 😂 A list of Russells I'd rather take than Russell Martin 1. Jack Russell 2. Russell Grant 3. Russell Athletic 4. Russell Brand 5. Russell Howard 6. Kurt Russell 7. Russell Crowe 8 Russell from the film Up.

If they are 1 down against Celtic with 2 mins left and they are pissing about at the back getting nowhere the reaction from the Rangers fans might be worth hearing !

Captain Jack would be fantastic in that league. C'mon Russ, you know you want him !!

It did include entertaining football and flexibility yes. 🤣

There was a Rangers fan on X yesterday listing all the strengths that RM teams have.........he couldnt have been more wrong if he tried 😂

The one thing you can’t accuse him of is not talking himself up. I’m sure he had the Rangers board reaching for the Kleenex by the end of the interview !

With that little gobshite Vardy gone I assume Leicester have lost a voice in the dressing room......step forward one Captain Jack Stephens, that incredible beautiful human being (RM words NOT mine 🙂 )

Did he really ? Why am I not surprised. Bloody teflon !

I dont really understand why people want rid of Armstrong, not in the Championship anyway, surely out wide and with pace he is a Will Still type player ?

That’s my thoughts exactly. I feel no connection to any of these players

It’s a low bar but I thought he was better than I’ve seen him at anytime since that Liverpool game two years ago. Either way I still can’t work out why anyone would want to keep him.

What on earth are you keeping Sulemana for? One good game today and your heads turned mate !

How he’s a full international is also a mystery, I know Republic of Ireland aren’t spoilt for choice but even so 🤦🏻

Well, if Russell does get a job, Leicester, it will be interesting to see if he comes in for Stephens. We will see if the way he spoke about him was just bullshit or if he really meant it. If he was serious he's gonna want to buy him and have him as his captain. Thats the straw I'm clinging to anyway 😂

Hopefully he wont need to. With KWP, Ramsdale, Bednarek, Aribo, Fernandes, THB almost certain to be gone, Big Les back to Chelsea, and very possible Tall Paul, Arnstrong, Downes and Dibling leaving the squad numbers will be drastically reduced. He'll be bringing in at the very least half a new starting line-up so, players coming in with all the attributes needed may finally shake this soft boy "son-in-law" crap thats hung over the team for far too long. Of course we'll still be left with a lot of crap nobody will want but doesnt mean they will be starters come August. Obviously it will take time for them to gel, adapt to his style if some of the players arent used to it but signs of recovery should be pretty obvious early on, results will then hopefully follow. I am not expecting to go straight back up, and tbh I'm not sure in the scheme of things that would be a disaster. Failing to go up the following season or at worst season 3 would be however.

Russell having the audacity to criticise United for not managing the game well 🤦‍♂️
