We also know, without a shadow of a doubt, that Martin will have learned absolutely nothing from his failures with us and Rangers. 
 

 

He is so arrogant and full of hot air. The most annoying bit is the way he runs his hand through his hair during interviews.......gives me cold sweats

[Convict Colony]

yeah martin is a red herring, imagine employing a manager you sacked who has since been sacked again for being even worse.

[saintoaks]

IMO there is nothing to celebrate about the sacking of Will Still and we cannot keep looking back at previous managers to be re-employed, Martin left us in an absolute mess and Ralph has not exactly been successful since he left us. Big call for Spors now to bring someone into stabalise the club and us fans who are sick to death of what's happend over the last few years.

Well, it is Sports Republic making the decision....so don't rule it out

Yeah, but watching at work would be so beautiful, it would be brave, and we would all feel the love

Too true sadly.

I saw the Martin thing as lazy journalists - and there's no lazier time then Sunday evening and Martin's agent getting out there and reminding everybody that he exists 😃.

Ralph being at the match might be more likely but again, I hope not.  Could we hire somebody that inspires strikers to join?

This has to have been about Saints. I doubt the background picture is a coincidence.

Did you realistically expect us to be 20th  under him? 

No. In fact it was me who kindly pointed out to those saying it that giving a manager 2 seasons in this league and writing off promotion in May would actually involve losing quite a lot of football matches.

The fact that Stephens, despite saying there was no issues, was dropped/injured shortly after this tells me this was us

If it’s Martin - well, it’s a joke isn’t it? But the noises seem to suggest he’s in the running FFS.

I doubt it, but if he is we should definitely be in the running in the opposite direction.

[Charlie Wayman]

All the bookies have Martin as odds on favourite. This is beyond satire.

Such a crassly stupid move would surely result in empty terraces, 90% season ticket returns and a fatal rupture in what remains of any relationship between fans and SFC.

Heaven forbid we ever get to that situation.

 

As for Still, no tears to be shed for him, the wrong man in the wrong job at the wrong time.

I doubt we'll ever know the truth, but it would make a lot of sense given the senior players constant reversion to Russ-ball, and also makes me even more angry at so called 'Captain' Jack for being a poisonous piece of shit, and SR for giving him the contract extension instead of a P45.

But that season two years ago was fun, and I went to every game largely thinking “are we scoring three or four today”.

Fun, fuck me, I bet you’re a bundle of fucking laughs. It was a friggin grind, 90% of the time. I went to every game thinking “are we making 200 or 300 sideways and backwards passes in our own half today. The Lego headed cock sucked the joy out of the game.

Exactly.  I vaguely remember 'fun' some time in the far distant past and that season wasn't it.

To think that in my first 11 years as a Saints fan, there were only two changes of manager up to Bally succeeding Ian Branfoot.

When I started taking an interest Ted Bates was manager until 1974 when big Lawrie took over for about ten years when Chris Nichol took until 1991

Saw great foootballers great games and we had good managers

Since the PL where money counts we have in general been pretty poor but have had many managers and continually sacking them has not helped either

Our successful managers the three I mentioned plus Pardew and Koemann knew that having decent players was key to success
