    They only lost the second half 1-0 so that shows improvement.

    I have just seen a Rangers fan refer to Martin as Terry Vegetables and I have no further need of the internet today.

    Martin: "We qualified for the Europa League"

    Rangers fans: "We failed to qualify for the Champions League"

    He just does not get it.

    The manner of the performances and results at both Ranger and Southampton have destroyed his reputation. If Martin has a route back into football management after Rangers sack him , it will be in a smaller European league. I think he is finished in uk football

    Amazing we paid compensation to Swansea for his services.

    No, he'll get a job in the Championship IMO.

    Yeah he'll probably still get a good Championship job because he still has a promotion on his CV. How much longer does Selles have at Sheffield Utd?

    Can always become a MOTD pundit. Rooney failed upwards.

    I think that we have a 'perfect storm' scenario - Man U losing to Grimsby will result in Amorim being sacked, at exactly the same time as Martin departs Rangers, followed by a match made in heaven, as Martin convinces the Man U board that Russball, possession-based turgidity is the way to rekindle United's fortunes. I'll give it a week before the announcement, then a fortnight before even the plastic fans are complaining.

    Could be on to something; Man Utd do have Jason Wilcox there as well.

    "The mantra was about waiting until these players understand the genius of the message, just hang on until the full magnificence of the work starts to bear fruit.

    The promise of jam tomorrow appears to be the beginning, the end and the in-between of his management."

    Nailed it
