I would be very surprised and disappointed if he got back in. I think the back 3 HB, JB and Wood have look a lot more solid in last few games. Wood looks far more assured than Stephens at the back. I still haven't forgiven JS for his childish, petulant actions that got him sent off against Chelsea and Man U. I wouldn't even have on the bench if the 3 above are fit. |

Does anyone have the 'pedigree' to turn this season around ? The damage has been done. It is a big and probably unrealistic expectation that we can survive this season. We need to give him a chance, before writing him off. [Post edited 21 Dec 7:39]

Fair point but we were also missing Captain Jack. [Post edited 19 Dec 16:49]

Ok, you have had your fun. Nobody wants him or his family any where near this club. Not even as a short term option. |

I am curious now, whether SR would have sacked Martin if we had drawn or kept defeat down to 1 or 2 Nil ? If not, then I will accept (reluctantly) the result last night, if it was final act that got him sacked. I couldn't take it any more. I am now looking forward to Fulham game and a good day out. |

He wouldn't ordinarily be my first choice, but I don't think there is much to lose by trying him. I would rather this, than some unknown, unproven punt again. It gives us time to get the next appointment right. |

I hope they take their time to get it right. We are doomed this season, it would take an absolute miracle and some serious spending in Jan to turn this around. I am not even sure there is anyone out there at the moment that is either available or would want to come at this time ? |

It's finally done, but far too late. In the early days I was happy to give him a chance, but his arrogance and failure to adapt was his eventual downfall. Throughout this whole sorry episode, I was surprised that a number of the players backed the style of play (inc Ramsdale and THB, KWP), when it clearly wasn't working. The table and stats didn't lie. I am pleased he has gone. Do I think we will survive ? Not a chance, but it will give us a window to start planning effectively for next year. If Martin was hoping to get a gig like Vincent Kompany, who also failed with this possession based style of play at Burnley (and was also about 6th choice at Bayern) he is more deluded than I thought. His CV is absolutely trashed and it wasn't that good to start with. The only winner here, is Swansea. They managed to off load the arrogant tw*t and get paid at the same time.

Martin surely cant survive after tonight ? We are already down, so why nit just put Lallana in charge and plan for a change of manager at end of season. |

We matched them in 2nd half, and went toe to toe (Hold on Spurs 5-0 and couldn't give a toss with big mid week game comeing up). |

What a let off I had today, by not going. A few weeks back I was cursing South West Trains, as there was no train back for me, now I thanking them. Watching on a stream, it might be just Sound/mic's, but I didn't hear Martin get much abuse , although commentator mentioned group behind dug out giving him grief. The end is unfolding tonight. He will be gone. |

What's £30m given the money we have P**s*d away since SR came in, not that I believe that it would cost £30m anyway or that we have to keep giving out 3 year contacts. We certainly didn't need to renew Martin's contract after 1 year. Nistelroy is on a 2.5 year deal We paid £14.6m when we got rid of the previous 3 managers. When Saints gave Martin (and back room team) new contracts Henrik Kraft said, "we are excited to see how the squad embraces the challenge that lies ahead this year under Russell’s continued guidance". Guess we all know now. Just get rid of him. |
