No, I mean the managers who have been sacked because that’s what clubs do when they want to improve results. Name me one manager who has never been sacked.

Sensible, low risk appointment IMO as those making the decision have had the rare chance to actually judge the quality of his work in the actual setting he is being placed in.

They have not rushed and have taken their time and clearly the players respect and have built a rapport with Eckert which has lead to by far the most cohesive performances for many months where players look motivated and seem to actually enjoy it again.

Good to get it sorted and to just focus on the games.

Kudos to @OrnelasGladis who called it initially.

In many respects the club are dammed if they do and dammed if they don't in respects to appointing TE.

If they don't a section of the fans will say he won 4/5 games, the players were playing for him and we look a much better team than a month ago. Players have publicly come out giving their backing to the guy etc

If we do a section of the fans will say, lazy appointment, no ambition, massive risk, the club don't know what they are doing, cheap skates etc

Every managerial appointment is a risk and to be honest i don't see many currently out there and available (that would come to Saints!) that could do any better.

Had wondered whether they were waiting for O'Neill to be available (M not G). Now that the Bhoys have got Nancy installed Martin is available. Didn't he have a house in Winchester at some stage, or was that someone else?
