Is that what they'll be serving at Auchenwokie?

Again, sounds like Warburton, Gio, Clement, Pedro, Beale. Any number of managers we've had recently. We can talk about it and make comparisons and say this that, whatever else sounds good - but ultimately it's a style we've seen, and conceded a lot of goals through. Even your ginger man there says Martin is susceptible to tankings. I'll need some winning to come round.

I think the question must have been: who can we get who is immediately available, who is happy being a coach, who really wants the job, who knows the club and won't cost the earth. Answer: Russell Martin.

While I'm not happy about the appointment, I need to accept that the guys who made the decision know a lot more about it than I do and therefore I need to give him a chance. We don't know what the club's strategy is and how Martin fits in with that. He's not the manager, just head coach, and it may be that he has the relevant qualities that the club are needing at this time.

Both corruptions of Guernseys. As one would expect, your corruption is posher than mine and forlan’s.

I'm pissed. Might come round to it later American takeover and we've somehow landed with Russell Martin 😂 Fs man

We called them Genzies

Couldnt care less what any manager wears , am more worried about the fact that this guy is a crap manager.

I'd urge people to watch this stuff, I watched lots of videos since the news broke. Lots of details going about.

Press conference at 11am.

I'm a retired trawlerman and whilst my wardrobe contains a bountiful selection of black jumpers (ganzies too Scott!) It does not contain one single gilet !

Kevin Thelwell explains why Rangers chose Russell Martin: “His teams play dominant football, they control the ball, dictate the tempo and impose themselves physically. They press aggressively and work relentlessly off the ball. These are all characteristics that we believe are required to be successful at home, away, and abroad.” This guy is at the wind up coming out with crap like that , we can all see how hes performed over the years. Zero confidence in Thelwell either , the clusterfuck continues.

There's a clip of his MNF appearance towards the end (around 4:00) of this video, but it's not a lot:

I wish Martin's MNF appearance was available somewhere to post. SSN are showing clips this morning. I was really impressed with his answers at the time.

I’ll try find out 🤣

Kris Boyd compared Martin to Kompany, which I thought was interesting: Promoted with a possession-based philosophy, pumped in the PL, then gets the Bayern Munich job. I don't think it's entirely correct, but it suits my position so I'm taking it.

Spoken as a true Presbyterian.

Vegan - a slur? It's when I read he was a Green Party member and a vegan that I thought he's the man for me. I trust he is also a cycling Guardian reader. If not, I fear the man is a fraud.

I’ve come across a good few trawlermen in my time. No body warmers. Never a gilet. The preferred upper body garb is a muckle woollen ganzie.

Experience has taught me to have no expectations at all. Best that way.

Should be a button for BOOOOOOOO.

I can't quite understand the level of antipathy towards Martin and the level of admiration for Ancelloti. Surely no manager in recent times has come in with so many raging against him. I'll admit that I knew little about Martin but when he looked a shoo-in this week, I listened to his interview by Linekar and watched his video on tactics and I was happy with what I heard and saw. I'm looking forward to next season to see how he puts his vision into practice. I hope to see a rejuvenated team playing with style. I'm sure there will be many expecting him to fail and won't be slow to pile in on any setback saying I told you so. I don't expect them to heap praise when things go well or to say they may have been wrong in their condemnation.

Win the league and get into the group stage of the CL. While picking up a cup or two. And leathering the rotten mob a few times. That will do for a starter.
