Andrew Watson Posted 4 August, 2023 Share Posted 4 August, 2023 On the after match chat with our manager,did Franny inadvertently call the manager Martin instead of Russell? Or was that my awful hearing,not really important,but I thought very funny all the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy_D Posted 5 August, 2023 Share Posted 5 August, 2023 Isn’t it normal to refer to managers by their last name? Klopp, Guardiola, Redknapp etc? 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miltonaggro Posted 5 August, 2023 Share Posted 5 August, 2023 Better than what he called Nathan Jones. That’ll teach saints to recruit a manager with interchangible Christian / surnames 😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't see it so don't know the context, if he was using it to directly address him then yeah that's weird, if he was just discussing him with the other pundits then they usually use surnames for people they don't personally know and first names when they do personally know them.

The context is that Russell Martin joined the pundits pitchside after the game, Franny asked him a question and called him Martin. It was just an error by Fran, quite humorous to see but he’d have had a word with himself for doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spyinthesky Posted 5 August, 2023 Share Posted 5 August, 2023 Reminded me of the time that Donald J Trump referred to Tim Cook as 'Tim Apple'!!! However Franny has done more for charity, honour, dignity and loyalty as that twat across the pond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkish Posted 5 August, 2023 Share Posted 5 August, 2023 Absolute disgrace, awful punditry. He should never work in the industry again. I’ve never been so embarrassed to be a saints fan. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the colonel Posted 7 August, 2023 Share Posted 7 August, 2023 I have the same surname and for 60 years often called by that instead of my Christian name. No big drama. Been called far worse as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
