As will Ruben Selles and Nathan Jones 😮 

Sure. Russell Martin earned it in a way they didn't quite, puts him a notch above those in-season appointments.

Would the Messiah get a winners medal if Rangers won the league?

Ultimate embarrassment to claim it if they win it and he does!

Each club gets 25 medals to distribute as the club sees fit to players, staff and officials. Players need to have played 25% of matches to be eligible and the club can purchase more medals if it chooses to do so.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and suggest that Rangers aren't going to bust a gut giving Martin a medal if they win.

Bit harsh. He took a team up himself and has done that job. Whatever happens he will always have been a Premier League manager.

He'll always be a has-been.

And what illustrious company that puts him in.

Nathan Jones
Tim Sherwood
Stuart Gray
Steve Wigley, etc

None of them took a team into the Premier League.

Indeed.

Scott Parker, Paul Jewell, Steve Bruce and Neil Warnock want a word.

Honestly, Martin's not worthy of lacing their boots.

There’s only been 3 previous Saints managers that have won promotion to the top flight, so he absolutely deserves to be called ex premier league manager. A shite one mind, but he earned that title, it wasn’t given to him…

So what?

He took a team up to the Premier League and managed there. Get over it.

He is an ex-premier league manager.

Why is that so contentious?

Ex Championship and Ex Scottish Premiership manager as well.

There's a bit of a theme here...

I'm fine with it. But it shows it's not the ringing endorsement some believe it to be. He's a total fraud.

Parker’s an Interesting one. People tend to scoff at him a bit but he has got three different clubs promoted to the Premier League. He gets a bit found out once he’s there, but he is a decent manager in the overall scheme of things. The Adam Armstrong of managers.

God knows who is dishing out "ringing endorsements". It's a report in The Sun about his wedding.
