    Where the hell can he possibly go now?

    The only club that might mercy hire him at some point is Norwich, but honestly I dont even think that is possible now.

    Maybe some poor unsuspecting MLS club might be suckered in next, 'home of the brave' after all.

    Jesus no. Seeing his smug face and hearing his smarmy voice sends a shiver down my spine.

    Rooney failed up to the BBC, Martin will probably do the same. Criticising other managers who are doing a better job than they did.

    Honestly wouldn't shock me if an upper championship side went for him at some point. He did his job here afterall.

    I'm fairly certain we'll end up facing him this season.

    Not sure it'll be this season. I think he'll want a break from it all after the way this season's gone.

    Id love to see him take the time out he needs to in order to grow from his mistakes, but really just get the impression that he’s too arrogant and will forever think that the failures are never down to him. It’s like in his mind he’s the next Clough / Englands answer to Guardiola & he’s just gonna continue to jump straight into a new job as soon as one turns up, while blaming everyone and anyone else but himself and his ideas for the failures in the last one

    Not sure you can underestimate his arrogance like that. Wouldn't surprise me either way.

    Managing Saints was like a walk in the park for RM. Then he tried to manage a team with rabid supporters, spouting the same self serving bollocks.

    Yeah he’s got plenty cash to keep him & Lucy in a comfortable place for a while. He’ll be back towards end of season spouting his superior knowledge on tv before another payday next season. He’s a past master with the verbals & someone will fall.

    Haha, brilliant stuff.

    At least the debate is finally settled on how good he is as a manager... not very. Most journalists in Scotland are agreeing that he’s their worst manager ever.

    Ruben and Russ both gone before the second weekend of October. Now to hoping the bottom falls out of Nathan Jones' season...
