Yesterday showed that this team can play, that it can defend and it can attack, I stuck up for Martin both last season and the first games of this, he should be revered for getting us up last season, but I find myself now despising him for the way he stuck to his own agenda rather than adapting and utilising the players that he had to hand.
I think I despise him more than virtually any manager that has been at this club, off hand I can only think of Branfoot and Redknapp that I hate more, the rest might have failed, but they did so because either they didn't have a squad to work with or they just weren't up to it.
Russell Martin was up to it, he was just too selfish & arrogant and cared more about his tactics than keeping us up.
he would have preferred to go down with 64% possession that stay up with 34 points |  |

Agreed
Well well by saint22 26 Dec 15:58That first 45 is such a damning verdict on Russel Martin and is stubborn idiotic tactics
Totally different team
Tall Paul has given us everything we have been missing - ok yet to score but he is a handful and will score
Sugawara crossing
Solid at the back and moving the ball quickly
He really stunk our club out

There’s a lot of talk about his legacy being promotion back to the premier league but he’s effectively consigned us to an immediate return to the championship, so he’s undone that.
I still find myself despising the goons from Sports Republic (we all know who), those tossers should not be let off the hook just because we’ve changed manager. |  |

I despised him and his methods, arrogance, stubbornness, favouritism and sheer disrespect for anyone but himself months ago. | | | |

Sport Republic shoulder the blame.
Employing Jones and Selles.
Buying sub standard players.
Sacking Martin 5 games too late.
Wether or not this manager will be any good we will see.
When they took over we were a Premier League team.
Next season we won’t be.
It’s all about results.
West Ham were there for the taking yesterday and we should of been 2 or 3 nil up at half time.
Another plucky 1-0 defeat when we were the better side.
I’m sick of it. |  |

I have many gripes with Russell Martin.
Another one which I am increasingly noticing is how unfit the squad are.
We are virtually running on empty in the last 15 minutes of games.
You can accept that other teams will have more skilful players, but there is no excuse for our teams being poorly-prepared and unfit.
Let alone all the tippy-tappy nonsense. |  |

Pat, I cannot agree.
I think our boys are knackered by the forty third minute. Would that it were not so. | | | |

We still don't have the players Nick. Even when RM was here, we had a penalty against Man U and we missed. We were excellent that day. We were excellent against Liverpool for the 3 -2. Should have won at Brighton but for a terrible VAR decision. There were some close games under him but before the sh!t hit the fan. Yesterday, was great to see so many chances and getting the ball forward, but we still didn't score!!! And we still made a mistake at the back that lost us the game!!!
Yes it's too late, but I have a feeling we will still see lots of sitters missed and mistakes at the back. [Post edited 27 Dec 14:29]

Agreed.
I was a big fan and quite happy with the style of football in the Championship.
Pre-season he made it clear in interviews he wouldn't change his preferred tactics.
It made me nervous but I like many others were prepared to give it a go.
Clearly it was a total disaster and as Nick rightly points out it became more of his own vanity project and less about about the good of the club...good riddance to the man. | | | |

Whilst I cannot abide Redknapp of Branfoot, Martin surpasses them mainly for his arrogance, and smug demeanour (made worst by the Noddy’s thinking he was some sort of football messiah).
Don’t care what anyone says, this squad were fully capable of seeing the season out and not being relegated by Xmas. Were we gonna go down? Yes, let’s be honest, we ain’t quite good enough. Should the trigger have been pulled earlier? Without a shadow of doubt, and that’s all on our inept owner and the Board. Christ, with the team we had in the Championship we should have done better. Would Dragan have sacked him but for the fans finally turning? I doubt it.
Anyway, time to move on, don’t want to think about Russell Martin any longer as he was a coont end of. [Post edited 27 Dec 19:07]

Promoted last season despite him
Almost certainly relegated this season because of him
His sacking has lifted a cloud that was suffocating the players and indeed the whole club, good riddance to the arrogant self serving prat.
Rasmus ‘embrace failure’ Ankersen also needs his backside booting out of our Club, he, not unlike Martin, is a self obsessed, deluded wannabe guru of football who thinks he knows better than everyone else but knows nothing.
In fact, the rest of SR don’t come out of their period of ownership with any credit whatsoever. They have taken an established PL club and turned it into the current laughing stock of the PL in a relatively short space of time. Just wish we could have owners fully invested in our club (like Brighton) and not distracted by some multi-club project that seems to be of no meaningful benefit to SFC if Lis is anything to go by, it just costs us more money every transfer window.
