DMAA 3,760 Posted Monday at 08:28 Share Posted Monday at 08:28 Ancelotti looks strong favourite at this point imo. Worked at Everton with Purdy. Thelwell and Purdy have been in the works for a while it seems so this might be why Ancelotti is in the picture at all. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rousseau 12,083 Posted Monday at 08:33 Share Posted Monday at 08:33 If the new owners employ Ancelotti any excitement and positivity from Friday instantly disappears. Gerrard Mk11 is not what we need. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tactically, we have no idea how Ancelotti will set up, so that statement is rather unfounded. We know exactly what tactics Martin employs, as will every other manager in the division. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sutton_blows_goats 6,460 Posted Monday at 08:54 Share Posted Monday at 08:54 (edited) Heard on the 4Lads podcast the other night, Steve Clifford was saying Russel Martins Southampton team, the year they won promotion to the EPL finished 4th. Got in via a good playoff run. Conceded a lot of goals, didn't defend well. Saints fans had said there were games they were needing a late goal with minutes to go and the team were passing the ball about at the back. On the plus side his girlfriend has massive boobs.

One minute he's banging on about the Iron Curtain defence or Jim Baxter, the next minute he's saying we should change our home strip or to dismiss our history. Feels like there is a word to describe his posts. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well we can look forward to having a team that will make sure they finish mid-table if Everton are anything to go by🙄 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerrard Mk11 is not what we need. We don't know what Ancelotti -and, importantly his coaches, fitness, medics, etc.- will bring as head coach to Rangers. Therefore, we can't assume that he would be 'Gerrard Mark II', can we? We do know what Russell Martin will give us, and if that is what the new owners want, then God help us.

His burd's goat a crackin' perr, but." 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve got a mate who supports Southampton and messaged me the other night saying pretty much the same thing, that Russell Martin was never a particularly popular manager, even before they got promoted. He confirmed the whole "if plan A doesn’t work, do plan A better" mentality and also said Martin had a habit of blaming everyone except himself when things went sideways Couple of direct quotes from him: “He is so horribly smug.” “Even in the Championship we got hammered by anyone decent. Got promoted with something like the 7th worst defence in the league.” “He’s never improved a team or finished above expectations.” 15 minutes ago, Sutton_blows_goats said: On the plus side his girlfriend has massive boobs. Unforunately, he made no comment on this..... 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
