Oh dear. He’s actually just sat in a press conference and tried to paint dropping points to Motherwell and at home to Dundee as “part of a 5-match unbeaten run”. This after saying after the Dundee game “I was pleased we didn’t lose”. 

They are losing their shit at him, saying he doesn’t understand the culture, has a loser’s mentality etc. As far as they are concerned, a Rangers manager should expect to win every game. They aren’t buying his spin at all. He was always going to be under a lot more scrutiny up there but it’s incredible how quickly they have turned. 

Good post. His deficiencies were known before he got here, and it amazes me that we tolerated him for so long, and that some people wanted him to be given more time. He's a terrible manager, and fair play to the Rangers fans for calling him out so soon.

I know I should let it go, but I just can’t…

The unshakeable belief in something that doesn’t work, and the way so many people seem to fall for it. The total, unwavering commitment to such a deeply and obviously flawed principle. The falling upwards. 

I must admit, he fascinates me. 

(Not in a gay way)

(Well maybe a bit, at the beginning. But not now) 

It is well known that what he is peddling is snake-oil yet he continues to find more suckers willing to buy it. Have to take your hat off to him for that. For a guy with very little coaching talent he's managed to secure some decent jobs and made a lot of money along the way.

totally agree. There was even a fan at the recent forum suggesting we should have stuck with Martin no matter what last season.

You can't go to Rangers and champion being unbeaten with draws against Motherwell and Dundee

He's clueless on every football related level sadly. If he carries on being so crap, not even his splendid hair will give him a media career to fall back on. He should have gone from us to TV imo.

In all seriousness if it goes tits up at Rangers its hard to see where he goes from there. Championship at best I suppose !

Barcelona seem like the logical next step in his journey.

They're already asking when he's going to leave 🤣

My favourite quote from there is

"How long a contract did he get? He is that bad the players won't even need to down tools to shift him, they just need to follow his instructions." 🤣
