The continuing brave, fun adventures of Russell Martin

I'd agree on that line of thought too - which is the point I was trying to make. Each season there is some expectation for them to have a bit of a European jaunt but at the moment they aren't on par with those teams and will generally lose most games outside the Scottish league so headlines like Braga stun Celtic in Europa League aren't so unusual as to be a "stunning"

 

Outside of mental owners and clash of personality swapping nuno for ange was just plain wrong

 

Six games in, four losses and two draws. Conceded three goals in three of the games. Fans booing the manager, chanting the previous manager's name and singing 'you're getting sacked in the morning'

Just the start Mr Marinakis was looking for. What a shame

 

I am assuming it is far enough away from Swansea that he won't be lynched.

 

They would thrive with the PL given the additional funding, and the backing of fans who aren`t necessarily motivated entirely by football. Irish/Catholic backing on one side, Unionist/Protestant backing on the other, and a lot backing from outwith these shores.
I don`t see them ever joining the English league - why would English clubs want them in, taking two of their places. Unless it was some kind of super league stunt like the `big six` tried to pull a few seasons ago.

 

I am not convinced that either Rangers or Celtic would make a significant impact in English football. Che is right to think of Rangers as a top Championship team ( obviously without Martin!) I feel Celtic would be mid table of the Prem and a bit erratic , rather like Newcastle or Villa. I could never see them challenge the likes of .City, Utd, Arsenal or Liverpool in a million years. They would push for top six one season and be involved in a relegation battle the next. Not convinced Rangers survive beyond the Championship and would be a yo-yo club at best . As for the other Scottish teams, they would be lower Championship or even League One.

The fact that Martin is hopeless in Scotland is an indication of his calibre.

 

I agree with Che at were they would be now and where they would go. Two kickers to that though might be that less success and your fan base get bored. They wouldn't be top two every year and they wouldn't get the mad amount of soft referreeing decisions that they get up north. Poor James Tavernier would have a lot less goals!!

 

Gave away a 1 goal lead to draw away. Hahaha

 

Sounds familiar

 

Sounds like the gig might be up, hes in for 'talks' tomorrow.

Shame, its been fun.

 

Rumours are he’s being sacked

 

Already fans on twitter wishing him back here

 

Did well to make it to October, writing was on the wall By late August

 

****ing state of that, anyone with that opinion needs to be locked in a padded cell for their own safety, no way they can function as actual human beings.

 

Those payoffs must mount up. He's earned more out of a job than in one I suspect.

 

The BBC article is weighted towards Rangers needing to make a change during the international break.

I cannot see how he can be retained after today. Second best to Falkirk by all accounts

 

He's been fired.

 

Between him and Dyche for the Forest job
