I want Ivan to succeed just so a journalist can interview Russell Martin afterwards and ask him about how his style was a miserable failure and the sole reason Saints were struggling.

Why would you say that? Everything about his style is described as aggressive and attacking so why is it suddenly not true? Question how effective he is sure, but to say it's not true at all is bizarre

I don't pretend to know anything about Ivan but if he is what he is described to be then I'm all in. Russell Martin was exactly what we were told he was and I never ever liked him. Suddenly my apathy for the club is fading. Things may actually start to get interesting now.

Are they 'top' championship managers though?

Yet Russell Martin has been consistently mediocre at each club he has worked at.

Easy to have attacking intent when your squad is vastly superior and we still couldn't defend

Bree stated that he would be in trouble for shooting in the cup game. He was quoted as saying that RM would be furious as there we free players in the box who could be passed to. RM wants the perfect goal and has coached the team to avoid shooting at all costs

Excruciating to watch as Saints once again play the game as if they don't want to score. So slow and negative. We get up to their area and pass back to our own keeper, it's infuriating. Great to get some points but what an awful game. If the board and RM think this justifies them destroying the beautiful game then I have no hope for the teams future.

That's like saying my last few gfs cheated so I'm OK with my new one doing it now.

It's his thing. If he doesn't get the attention he craves, he gets personal. It's pretty sad really

It's impossible to trust anything these clowns do

Whilst it's possible that SR has approached Moyes and Potter and were rejected ( questionable due to the poster). It's feasible that it's SR who were rejected rather than our team as such. If SR demanded that a new coach continue Russball in all its glory, that could be the reason they were not interested

I think we needed to get promoted but we should have dropped Russell as soon as it was confirmed. If an idiot like me could see it wouldn't work then how on earth did Sports Republic think it would?

Russell has consistently stated that he values statistics over results. This is on him. He does not care about the team surviving, only seeking to validate his own obsession. So he deserves the supporters vitriol

As shown, you don't need a decent manager. You can scrape through the play off's with a mediocre Championship manager.

So you agree that we finished where our squad and budget dictated we should. So nothing to do with Russell Martin obviously being a quality coach then. Thank you for agreeing with our side finally

Surely if Russell Martin was 'clearly' good enough, he would have gotten Swansea promoted? The fact he needed a squad that was superior to almost all others in the league goes against your claim.

Yeah fuck it. Best we give up now and let RM take us down. Why even bother to try.

Laughing at your idiocy is not following. You need to try harder. I could put you on ignore but idiocy is amusing

You really are desperate for attention aren't you. Each post is 'look at me, look at me'! Its tedious in the extreme. I also don't follow you. Considering how often you post, that would be a full time job. I ignore most of your posts because you have nothing to offer. Keep persisting about comments about my wife, we all know the state of what sturdy lump you must have at home.

Players don't tend to go public in criticism of the current manager. RM is seriously precious as it is

If RM is learning, why have we in each game, given up goals and multiple goal chances through fucking about with the ball in our own area? Surely that would be the first thing he would have learnt? Also, once Paul was subbed on, did we change our style to suit him? No, not in the slightest. I expect Paul was just as stunned to be picked to play.

Congratulations, your post was more tedious than Russball. It kills you that Russell Martin has been found out doesn't it.

So if something good happens, it's the manager. If something bad happens, it's on the players 😅. Righto

My main take from that was that the squad is capable of competing. Russell Martin is not. Needs to go immediately
