Russell Martin

[FearOfAJackPlanet]

You certainly get the feeling this is only going to end one way. His style has never been a win-now style; the 'system' and 'process' are paramount, and that just seems like a really bad fit for Rangers (or Celtic) where the pressure to win every game is immense. Even when he had that Southampton squad in the Championship it was very rough going for a lot of the season. It just seems a bad fit for him up there - it's not somewhere you get a lot of time to build.

He will be making himself available for fan selfies next week, that will give him some breathing space for a few months. Being cool can mask the crap football with some, as was proven during his time with us.

Not sure his bullshit will cut it in the Govan

Honest. If you didn't know this could of easily been a Swansea or Southampton interview. It's actually scary how it's a copy and paste of what he said before. The man doesn't learn and time is ticking already.

Yeah, on reflection I would tend to agree.

RM is a genius.. achieve nothing apart fron scraping Saints up with a prem squad.

Paid off handsomely by Southampton and probably be paid of again for more time with Lucy

The Rangers are still paying off Slippy G and three other on the drip, Martin will be the next in line. Basket case club that's heading back to the Scottish Championship Division 2 in 18 months. Watch this space

Why would Rangers be paying Gerrard off?

 

[Bluenile]

He’s complaining about players’egos?? Self unaware

Exactly what I was thinking. Ego? They'll never compete to have bigger egos than him!

Currently a goal down to Dundee at Ibrox. 75% possession though so he won’t be too disappointed. The massive fraud.

 

[Andrew - North Hill]

He's not going to be there by the time the clocks go back.

This is going to be a long season and Martin will be lucky to be there come Christmas. He hasn't got a clue on how to change his tactics.

Russell Martin won’t be Rangers manager come the New Year.

Let’s agree, Martin was never the man for this seat. If Panathinaikos had a decent finisher we would be played four, won nil. I don’t know if he was the cheapest option as manager. If he was, it is false economy. Four games in and the punters are not going to turn up to watch this perpetual drivel.

He won’t last till the clocks go back I reckon.

Worse than Tom Coleman you are, Mr North Hill.

 

[Andrew - North Hill]

It does make you wonder about the calibre of people on the Rangers board.

"I know. Let's appoint a manager who would rather win the possession battle than actual games, and that's been the case wherever he's managed previously. That'll surely satisfy our notoriously impatient and demanding supporters"
