The continuing brave, fun adventures of Russell Martin

Hate to say it, but he's doing a quietly impressive job there.

 

Yes he is

I know a couple of Charlton fans and he's very popular with them. As they see it, he's had them punching above their weight, is getting the club back to where it ought to be and shows a lot of passion and emotion in the process. He also came through as an academy coach there so they feel a bit like he's one of them

Apparently he did actually lose a majority of the fanbase at one point last year through crap performances and weird interviews which rubbed fans up the wrong way, but he vowed to turn it around and managed to do so

 

Not as good as Juric at Atalanta!

 

Mental isn't it? Almost like it's our club that drags these managers down ... what do we do?

 

He's at his level though, was never a Prem manager

 

I always thought Juric is a decent manager. There was absolutely no way he could turn our fortunes around, maybe if he’s came in at pre season, but we were doomed well before he came in

 

It is salutary that Will Still has only retained a handful of last season's squad and that so many have been offloaded. More a judgement of the attitude amongst the playing staff than on Juric. I do not think Juric was a bad appointment, just that his was a hopeless task.

 

At least I can put Rangers back as my favourite Scottish FC now

 

I completely checked out last season. No idea whether juric was any good or not. A combination of weak squad, weak player mentality and confidence battered by 6 months of RM in the PL. Hopeless task.

 

A little bit gutted by his sacking as it really was fun watching the slow motion car crash.

 

Watch Rangers get Röhl now, and for him to be brilliant

 

Imagine not having St Mirren or St Johnstone (easy for me because I have family in Perth).

Can't condone the lack of Saints solidarity.

 

They can have Still

 

I can now leave this forum and thread now that the disastrous reign of Rusty Martin has finished.

After initial wins in the CL qualifiers, much against the run of play, the league form has been absolutely rotten, despite spending more money than any other team in Scotland.

Getting pumped 9-1 on aggregate versus Club Bruges was bad enough, but he scraped a win versus newly promoted Livingstone courtesy of a stoppage time winner, and then couldn't beat another newly promoted team in Falkirk yesterday.

Rangers sitting 8th and with a negative goal difference, despite having quite a favourable run of fixtures to start the season.

Goodbye Rusty and no doubt, some other mental owner will give you a chance some where else.

 

You'll be joining us again for more fun times when he embarks on his next disaster

I can already see 'Well some clubs just didn't give me enough time, you just have to be brave and stick to the plan. Maybe that isn't for everyone' echoing through the halls of the near future.
