Reading that doesn't bode well health and happiness comes first, lack of sleep through worry isn't gonna help going forward, for him or his family or SCFC which goes without saying obviously.
He and his team have been let down, it hasn't been helped by his stubbornness I suppose though, but a lot of work and expectation was put into this transfer window and it hasn't turned out as expected, whether the yanks just refused to back him or they themselves did not acting accordingly, who knows.
They didn't help Cooper or Potter before him either, so who knows. |
Potter wanted Mr Levien to find £7,000,000 for on Ryan Woods. Stoke paid it Swansea did not. Woodsy had a few very undistinguished seasons at Stoke went out on loan to get some form and end up leaving for nothing.
Potter loyalties were to Huw Jenkins not Birch and Huw was hounded out of the club by the fans singing disgraceful songs and the useless minority shareholders. It is conceivable he might have stayed although it is unlikely. He stayed 6 years in the Artic circle a year before.
Cooper wanted Keenan Davis and pushed out Goykeres who has proved to be a better player. Cooper go in some sensational players in. Guehi, Gallagher, Surridge, Gibbs White, Goykeres Brewster Woodman. Most are not premier league regulars. Ayew, MvDH
Borja were running down their deals and far from shabby. |  |

This raises a point that has not really been discussed.
The level of contacts that previous managers have had that gave them leverage that Martin lacks.
ps unless you think MK Dons is the level we needed. [Post edited 6 Feb 2023 19:41]

I didn't ask for a long winded reply from you rehashing your previous posts after posts, little of it if any of it has anything to do with my post.
I get it that you like to try and make yourself feel relevant, but don't use my posts to do it, Thanks. |  | | |

He’s had his say, he has been furnished with a response, on here and at the foot of the article.
In football terms we are in disorientation at the moment, and some clearly can’t take on board anything without feeling it’s all about them. As I’ve said before there’s nothing I or we or the site can do about that. Misinterpretation is one thing, and making stuff up and misleading people is another. And that’s what has happened here.
We all have bad days. |
does anyone Know if and when the meeting has / will take place or not? | | | |

Yes but surely the main crux of it which will be a slap on the wrist for telling us all what we already knew will have happened by now.
And either Russ has agreed to tow the party line or told to get on his bike.
That's my take on it anyway could be wrong of course. [Post edited 8 Feb 2023 15:05]

It took a month to buy nobody, why think any outcome regarding the future will be resolved quickly. |  | | |

No idea, all we heard and reported was the discussions between the hierarchy and Russell Martin Monday and Tuesday. He might shed some light on it later this week. | |

I think that if he was having the bullet, it would have happened by now, perhaps they've been discussing free agents  | | | |

Should have seriously been looking at keepers by now, if Fisher had picked up a second yellow on Saturday we would be up the creek. Unless it would have prompted them to do something. | | | |

OHL could have had the gloves for Saturday mun he could have kicked a few players up the arris whilst he was at it as well  | | | |

I’m 5 / 11 so a little too short Steve and rather volatile but I reckon I could organise a defence for a corner,free kick and defend a lead in the 90th minute with the players we have .
I could throw a stroptoo the like of which would terrify Pato and Zomyfemi together .
What I would do first is to take captaincy from Grimes and rest him | |

Not the keeper's job to decide who is captain ? |  |

I don’t think him getting sacked was ever on the agenda as straight forward as that anyway. | |

I have backed Martin but over the last month or two I am now wanting tangible proof that his methods work. The ups and downs seem to b ingrained in his methodology. While on a good run I was prepared to give him more time.
He seemed to have learned lesson in the 5-1 hammering by Forest when he admitted a lack of physicality. Wood and |darling were brought in the fix that and Sorinola is a fine footballer but not physical at all. Sorinola for Christie? Really? It has not worked.
I believe the owners want more from him personally to change the dynamic. He has been forced to use Whitaker and has to get points to keep his job. He will see transfer cash in the Summer if that happens. It is not looking too likely. | |

If they couldn’t afford a few signings in the window, they certainly can’t afford to get rid of Russ.
As I said many years ago, they haven’t got a pot to pee in of their own money. Chancers. |  |

The owners are culpable.
However not sure Martin is capable.
Hopefully in the future he will make a great manager.
Just don't think it will be with us. | |

Serious question, if he goes who the hell is going to come in to this basket case of a club? |
Serious reply not that you will be reading it…
We would be better off with no manager than Martin because hi us the root of it all.
Owners are feckless jerks who employed him but Nartin should have by now held his hands up and admitted his idea is wrong .
Keeping him in situ is damaging the club.
Why cannot people see this
It has been obvious for at least 12 months and no amount of fan support can help. He is unworthy of your support and the cost of it all ,come to that .
He is an insult | |

Martin goes tomorrow.
Who replaces him ?
Who would come here ?
Knowing the owners don't care at all about anything but the bottom line ? | |

There would be a queue of candidates. Just like there was last time when people were wailing about who would come here. |  |
| 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. |

Like any job there may be a queue of candidates.
Having a queue of suitable candidates is a different matter | |
