It seems that RM has laid down a very solid foundation in Rangers for them to develop and progress. They have just beaten Celtic twice in derby and  now have 7 consecutive wins.

They never really gave him a chance. They had a unanimous Martin-out thread before he had even managed a single game for them.

Not like they needed to be soothsayers to predict what they were in for though is it?

Seems Leicester fans still have an over inflated expectation of what they were likely to achieve this season. Given how fucked they are financially it was always going to be a rough season for them, and flirting with the playoffs and a mid table finish should have been considered a success. The last thing they needed was a “vision” manager like Russ, trying to get that squad to produce Man City-esque possession based football and dominate the league. They needed a manager that would make them a shithouse side that are difficult to beat.

God know what Russ was thinking accepting that job, he could probably see the impending payoff headed his way.

I don't actually think they are doing that badly, they are dominating games and only 2 points off playoffs... not bad considering they are early in their martin ball journey and have a horrible / disjointed / imbalanced squad

The bloke is a living, breathing genius.  Sorry - WRONG THREAD.  Russell Martin on the other hand is a self-serving, egotistical (extremely rich - due to his various dismissals) annoying twat. I sincerely hope he stays as manager, as I don't think I could stomach him as a pundit on SKY (and you just know it would happen). It's bad enough putting up with the likes of Carragher (or "Mute the TV Carragher" as he is known in my house). Plus, if Saints have a bad day, there's always the RM thread to brighten the day.

Lego just doesn’t get it, “we’ve had 135 shots in 5 games”. Dear god, they’re in league one, biggest club by a mile. Supporter pretty respectful, but Lego just doesn’t understand supporters. Get the ball forward more.

They also had 72% possession in that game. Not sure what more that supporter can expect, those are elite stats

He's still as poisonous as ever then. 

''What more do you want?''

Umm, maybe to see my team beat Stevenage away - you know, that crucial 'win' thing. He's still obviously hanging on his belief that chances created and possession means more than 3 points. I think he's actually losing his mind now.

Kinda feel sad for him, but his ego is too big for him to realise what a fool he is.

As much as I don’t like the bloke, him telling the fan they’ve been shit ever since Maresca was pretty funny though 😂

Overlooking the fact they were still shit enough to beat a Russell Martin managed Saints 3-2 away from home after Maresca left.

“You’ve been shit for ages”.

Note he says “you” not “us”.

Still taking no responsibility for performances or results after bringing in what is it now, 16 of his own players at Leicester. 

Still not sure whether he actually, genuinely believes it himself or just takes the gaslighting route because he thinks it convinces people to doubt what they see with their own eyes. 

But the whole playbook is in rinse and repeat once again. He’ll never change.

It's the "I'll live and die by the sword" comment that really sticks out for me. He's obviously not learned a single thing from his experience with us and Rangers, and is still utterly convinced by his own delusion that there is nothing wrong with his rigid philosophy.

He'll be sacked before the year is out, having completely lost the plot and scapegoated the entire squad and fan base, get a huge payoff and take a long sabbatical where he will utterly fail to reflect on his own inadequacies, then rock up at another big fish in a small pond club next summer to rinse and repeat.

Poor deluded naive fool. À description equally applicable to Martin and to the fan who requested he might try playing a different way like there’s actually a chance of it happening.

I think the guy is a total fraud but I guess if clubs keep employing him and paying him lots of money he will feel vindicated and continue to do what he's doing.

If this were true, his interview panels would have to hold a séance for his last few appointments.

He'll probably get to realise a dream and manage Man City or is that too harsh a penalty?

Forest Green lost Savage this week. Don’t think they’ve replaced him.

Perfect job for RM. 

Savage went to Peterborough. His first fixture - away to Leicester!

Leicester fans will miss him when he's gone after they hound him out. At least he'll have left them with a lean squad and the cultural foundations to get back up the divisions quickly.

Amazing. You’ve just highlighted a manager and fixture I hope Lego wins.
