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.

I heard that CB Fry not only played cricket for various teams as well as football for Saints then he signed for Portsmouth but only played 3 games for them before having a career ending injury .

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.

I think he'd seen Vincent Company relegate Burnley and then get rewarded with the Bayern Munich job and expected something similar to happen to him, perhaps even Man City if Pep had moved on

Relax lads, it's nothing tactical, it's just anxiety in the players and the unhelpful environment created by the fans. Change always comes with pain, but if you trust the process and show love it's so, so worth it.

In his perfect world of upward trajectory, he entertained thoughts of Wilcox taking him to Manchester United. 

Rangers, despite revenues, is a big club and gave him access to Europe. So, he's technically still on the up.

He's got 2 European ties to leverage for his next post.

Still can't work out how to embed videos but this is worth a watch. Apparently he turned round and told a fan to fuck off in the Hearts game.

Exactly. How are players to get over their anxiety, if the supporters aren't with them, and who don't think they're worthy? 

The Union Bears. Like the Care Bears, but with bottles of Buckfast and a European ban. 🙂
