Russell Martin - Rangers ... on 19:59 - Sep 16 by Joesus_Of_Narbereth | Sad thing is I think if he tweaked his system/philosophy just a little bit he’d probably get a load of success, but he sticks to this extreme style of possession at all costs risky balls at the back one interception and the strikers are through two on one on the keeper I’ve never seen anything like it in my life. |
And the end result was either Fisher kicking the ball into touch or gifting a goal It was madness It drove thousands away They are still staying away Martin strangled the spirit out of players and fans alike typified by undropable and ludicrously lauded Grimes And some of us were told that Martin knew better than us No he didn’t |  |

Football is all about risk v reward. Martin's teams play 100% safe ball continually and never play a decisive killer ball because it could be risky and lose possession. Football is not about possession its about winning and hopefully entertainment, Martin’s teams do neither and in football terms are completely pointless and achieve nothing. |  | |  |

No it was very very risky with no reward. I don’t think stats are kept for this sort of thing but we must have broken some sort of record for goals conceded from own goal kicks. |  |

It’s based on an old drunken ode by Rabbie Burns. Sometimes they add the word “bampot” in the second verse. |  |

Seriously, any professional club owner going anywhere near him as a head coach after this Rangers spell needs a psychiatric evaluation. Every failing, every weakness he has has been laid bare. |  |

I guarantee you they will. How people who are wealthy enough to own a football club can’t see through his bullshite is baffling. |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

You may be right. We appointed him based on one mid table L1 finish and then tolerated his utter incompetence for two years so it's possible that somewhere in the league structure someone else will be equally stupid. |  |

Russell Martin - Rangers ... on 22:19 - Oct 2 with 1500 views | RodgerTheDodger | We had American owners, Soton had American owners, Rangers ditto. He convinces Americans with limited knowledge of football that he'll make their team into a modern version of Barca 2010. They don't realize that if Barca 2010 played that way today, it wouldn't work, it doesn't work anymore. I doubt that the Rangers top management think much of him at all, but the owners have spoken. Eventually he'll get sacked, and after a few months he'll find another set of mugs who fall for his bullshit. |  | |  |

Why do you assume he'll get a load of money if he gets sacked? Williams didn't, he was working at Bristol Airport on the floor within a month or so. Just because someone has a 'three year contract' that doesn't mean it can't be terminated. A contractor in IT might have a one year contract somewhere, but they'll be cut with very little compensation if it suits. Given he was chosen by the Americans, he was unemployed and it was a step up for I doubt he'll get more than a month's salary if they cut him. |  | |  |

FYI williams was advised by his agency team to take the airport job to put him in the limelight. That worked out well 🤔 |  | |  |

Because in the main they do and he will Williams is a poor example He was lucky to have been given a job for which he wasn’t qualified or competent to do |  |

It all comes down to the severance agreement in the contract. Some managers get an agreed lump sum, some just get their wages paid for the rest of the contract until they get another job. Imagine just sitting at home and getting paid, great but your career is going down the pan. |  | |  |

Williams had got Notts County promoted and were in mid-table or higher when we took him on. He had been on the coaching staff here. It wasn't like he was a complete novice. It didn't work out for him in the end but up until the West Brom farce we were doing OK. What happened after that is anyone's guess but we went into free fall for whatever reason. But it wasn't that he was lucky to get given a job. It wasn't a Kevin Cullis situation |  | |  |

He was lucky to get given a Championship job considering his track record in league football. Relegated from L1 and then sacked with Swindon, third worst defensive record in League Two with Notts County. Nowhere near qualified for this club. Given the job as a kneejerk reaction to the sacking of Duff in an attempt to appease the then loud and numerous, now silent and hiding types who wouldn't shut up about how hard done by Martin was. |  |

Partly. Also partly because Levein and Kaplan wouldn’t pay enough for the managers they actually wanted like Eustace and Davies |  | |  |
