Russell Martin

[Saint_clark]

Some of their fans clearly still don't know just how bad he is. On their forum one poster said he thinks Martin will be given the whole season, another replies that they'll struggle to finish third if that's the case...third!? Mate you'll be fighting relegation with him in charge.

 

Hey at least they "qualified" for the Europa league though.

I suspect they might be 'our' fans

Guy is a complete fraud and a shite manager 

 

@Fabrice29 we all told you for months. You look like a fucking Wally now mate 

Such a shame. You know those guys were absolutely desperate to preen themselves over a 2-0 against Motherwell or Dundee as proof of his managerial genius "he's challenging for a national league title", "he's competing regularly in European competition", "if you think about it he's operating at a higher level than he ever did with Saints".

Even I didn't think the clown would be quite this bad, so spare a thought for the Martin disciples who will never get the "i told you so" moment they so craved.

They'll have to wait for his next job at Standard Liege or something.

Its history now but last season could have been a little better if he wasn't so rigid in his ways. Squad wasn't equipped and the passing model just doesn't work with a squad as poor as Saints.

He's definitely been found out now for what he is...shit manager.

Are Swansea still trying to get more compensation for us taking him off their hands? 

Nah, we're seeking compensation from them for letting us.

His style of tippy tappy shite nearly turned me off watching my beloved Saints. Like I said at the beginning of the season. I would be happy if Will Still takes us to midtable this season as long as we are going forward, can be exciting, show energy and win some very important games like today's match! Come on you Saints!

Yeah…about today.

Said the right things post-match but Hull and Boro are now must-win matches back to back. I think he’s on thin ice if he loses at Hull, Martin’s players didn’t help him today.

Not impressed with Still but have you seen the state of Rangers? One off the bottom. In the SPL.

Martin is ruined and will never manage at first team club level again.

[Lord Duckhunter]

One positive of his time there and following their fans opinions is I’ve learnt quite a few new words…. 
 

You also get to see some funny reactions from supporters, including a bloke who is eating a steak a day until the “vegan bampot” is sacked…

He ought to be, if we had owners who had a clue what they are doing. But we don't, a bunch of clueless muppets, who only sacked their previous disastrous managers after we hit rock bottom, and they had no choice. So I can't see them sacking Still unless we lose 10 in a row or something similarly disastrous. If we finish mid to lower table (which would be a disgrace given our resources compared to most of the other dross in this league) I can see them "giving him more time".

I came on here to have another laugh at RM, but it's wearing thin given that it looks like SR have replaced him with someone who is equally clueless. Hopefully not, but the signs so far aren't encouraging.

Bet he does.

"My previous teams lacked bravery and had too much scar tissue from prior seasons. Here at ( insert team name ) I know that you, Mr Chairman, have a clear vision and philosophy for the rise of this club, and I know that my new style of football is exactly what is needed, as all the important metrics prove".

The only people in football with bigger egos than managers are Chairmen.

Listening to Talksport earlier Ally McCoist has distanced himself from making such comments and alluded to it being a fake account.

Yeah, it was me. Go back on the account’s media far enough, you’ll realise it’s some weirdo now claiming to be Ally.

There probably is a club stupid enough - SR if they hadn’t already experienced him. Highly talented young manager? 
Should have gone to Specsavers Dragan…

Good one liner but I have seen an under pressure fellow senior leader in one workplace do something like that to garner empathy….

[Verbal]

Great philosophers who were pressured into exile:

Diogenes the Cynic - for being cynical

Aristotle - for being rude apparently

Confucius - for being a smartarse

Jean-Jacques Rousseau - for being too radical for Switzerland (thus presumably was joined by the rest of the planet)

Karl Marx - for being a Marxist, which he denied

Russell Martin - for talking bollocks and failing to grasp football

Interestingly, only the last one committed actual crimes.

No way McCoist would post somethings inflammatory like this. He's too much in the public eye to do it. He probably thinks it,  but wouldnt put it to print !!
