I have absolutely no sympathy with Rangers, or their board at least. The evidence as to what kind of manager he is as well as his effectiveness tactically and personally was there for all to see. If they’d done their due diligence all they needed to do was look at his time here and more prolifically at Southampton which should have told them what he was like. To be conned by this second hand car salesman is preposterous.

Here's a comment from the BBC Commentary after 70 mins against St Mirren.

Rangers pass the ball between them in the final third about 10 times, then nothing.

Rangers have had 75% possession. Guess how many shots on target they've had?

Bottom line is of course why football clubs take him on and fans support him
We saw quite ludicrous love for him
Good people taken in

He’s a very wealthy man with no record of achievement at all

An incredible individual and one who should have been a warning to us

Problems at rangers go a lot deeper than the manager but he’s not helping things either.

Russell Martin as a football manager epitomises the sort of wafflers and bulls'ers who run virtually everything these days. Jargon, buzzwords but absolutely zero substance. These people are everywhere.

He always gets jobs with clubs that are owned by Americans, many of whom are not that sophisticated in their understanding of football. He sells them the idea that 'their team' will be Barcelona 2010, majestically sweeping all before them and winning everything in sight.

The fact is, Barcelona 2010 would not today play the way they did in 2010 and they'd lose if they tried. Also, the Yanks do love a good bullshit merchant, but ... but they review based on results alone.

If I was appointing a manager I’d certainly look at his record at previous jobs.

You need some blue sky thinking mate, start to double down on this and also whilst there double click your way out of this malaise. it’s not easy but you can pivot even now. Take a deep dive. Remember teamwork makes the dream work.

It's incredible that despite it being the same story of poor results, appalling defending and lack of any creativity, wherever he goes, he still gets the job.
Everywhere he blames the players for being afraid. The players seem confused by his tactics. They try to pass it, then are lost when they lose possession.
It's the same everytime and he still gets hired

Well this all sounds very familiar,

If titles were decided on percentage of possession and number of passes then Rangers would be going toe-to-toe with Celtic right now, but it's tedious. The amount of ball they have and the lack of creativity they possess is stark.

It's more of the Martin way, blaming the players, nothing to do with his coaching. Has he said it yet, the "I'd rather lose my way than win anither way" comment?

It does doesn't it?

His reputation within the game will be toxic if this carries on. Rangers might even be doing him a favour if they sack him soon. He's still got a chance of convincing some Championship club owning loony that he's the answer to all their prayers.

Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back.

I'm hoping he goes to Wrexham.

He’s also annoyed the traditionalists for refusing to wear the suit and tie on match days which has been an expectation at rangers for 140 years.

'Add in his signings, his tactics, his team's lack of urgency and hunger for chunks of games, their lack of shape, pedestrian football, shortage of physicality, absence of goal threat, desperate vulnerability in defence and the sense that Martin, despite his confident talk, is toiling horribly and you have a greater picture of his malaise'
