Confirmed: Russell Martin has been sacked

From the BBC live text reporting. Sound familiar?

 

Nah, no sympathy for Juric at all. He was just as bad as Martin last season.

 

Think a lot of them have just copied and pasted some comments from our game against Tottenham and changed the players/team

 

The fourth goal is lovely football


Can see them having to fire him tonight just to try to avoid it happening v Celtic

 

Thats fair, by sympathy I should say 'indifference'.

 

I can understand the Rangers fans fury at this absolute shambles, they never wanted him as a manager and these performances just reinforce what a complete ego driven charlatan the guy is.

 

Wouldn't say I have sympathy but I don't think he was anywhere near as bad when you include context.

Martin had a full pre season with the team, momentum carried over from the previous season, and a huge input into transfers which had all been based around his style.

Juric came in to a massively unfit side who were already relegated having lost 13/16 games, demoralised players who didn't suit his style, and a broken fanbase.

Not comparable at all imo.

 

Oh dear

 

Imagine when Celtic score first at weekend

 

This. I think if Juric had had the preseason and transfer window he would have done a lot better than Martin.

 

And second, third, fourth, fifth…

 

Not sure why the final comment doesn't know what his tactics are. They're quite simply this:

 

Valid points to be fair, and I'm not disputing them at all. He walked into one of the biggest messes in football history. Noone was coming out of that with any credit.

He had an impossible job and we were never staying up, but when some of your decisions are playing Aribo at ****ing centre back, which looking back is even more ridiculous than it seemed at the time, then I just can't feel any sympathy or goodwill towards him. His decisions were baffling, and I genuinely think he must've been on something, he just made an impossibly **** situation even more ****ter.

 

And just think, when he gets the boot, he'll receive a payout.
What other work is there, where you can do such a bad job, get fired but also get a hefty paycheck in the process?!

 

I honestly think if Martin is still there for the old firm game he's going to need a police corden.

Even before the red card, this was a shocking Rangers performance.

Martin is clueless, he's just not up to it.

You can't ignore this. This is screaming that this guy is not good enough. He's a fast talker but there's no substance to it.

It's a total humiliation.

If they lose there's a strong possibility he'll get lynched

 

Couple of last min goals in that half. That was another Russ specialty.

 

Wonder if he missed any this time?

 

Yeah I don't feel sympathy or goodwill towards him or anything. He came into an impossible job and was well compensated for it ultimately.

I just don't think it's a fair comparison to Martin at all as completely different situations.
