I wasn't asking for a name. I wasn't asking for anything. All I wanted was not Russell Martin

Just speaking for myself. No. I don't think I can. I can't bring myself to get behind Russell Martin. I'll have to wait this one out.

McCarron has clearly made the difference we were all hoping for

He has the most punchable face in the history of football. More so than Dennis wise.

He had a point to prove at Rangers after his Southampton debacle. That went well

The only reason I was pleased to see cifuentes last year was the fact that he wasn't Martin. Wished we'd got it over and done with now

Top and Rudkin refuse to listen and are incapable of learning. The only thing we can do is vote with our feet.

Tielemans and Ricardo came through puel

Can you back up this claim that the 'idea is objectively right'? The risk of an interception on your own penalty area seems much greater than the potential reward to me. Plus it makes you look a tit.

We didn't 'have to overpay' to attract players, for instance, as a club chasing champions league, the dross we signed post FA cup would have jumped at the chance to sign for us. We overpaid because we had a ridiculously incompetent dof.

I was at that Sheff Utd game, "f___ off Martin O'Neill" was the chant ringing round filbo. Hard not to take that personally

RM's Southampton on course to eclipse Derby as the worst ever PL team. Hounded out of Glasgow, sitting 8th in the SPL with a 29% win rate. How is that even possible for a Rangers manager. They only have one difficult fixture. He is an abomination of a manager. It is almost too cruel to finally rid ourselves of the Jordan Ayew curse, only to immediately bring in this charlatan. Rudkin and Top are doing it on purpose. They must be!

I'm not sure that we were ever in a r'elegation scrap' last season. More a r'elegation procession.

That joke really didn't deserve a dramatic pause.

Possible but I think our interest would likely have been reported. I've not seen any links.

Sometimes I think it's worth taking a step back and just taking the time to give some credit to our board. When you think that we are at our lowest ebb and things can't possibly get any worse, their ability to find a way is uncanny.

I'm convinced that there are only two people in the football world that are daft enough to want him. Unfortunately for us, they are our dipshit owner and Jon Rudkin.

Agree with most of what you say but I think Top does care. Trouble is, he's an absolute idiot.

We had a bit of previous with Speedie from his Blackburn days, that's why he was unpopular. Nobody thought he was crap. I remember him quickly becoming a fan favourite here though. Martin is different. We don't want him because he is a terrible manager that will bring dreadful, boring football.

And we, virtually unanimously, were delighted about dodging that bullet because we knew he was a failure waiting to happen. He went up to Glasgow and failed spectacularly (how can you have a 29% win rate for Rangers FFS) and yet our lot still want him, despite such an abundance of evidence. Top, Rudkin et al are incapable of learning. They have become parodies of themselves.

"Russell Martin makes sense for Leicester City for so many reasons"... Then goes on to list precisely none.

I'm coming around to the idea now. In fact, it's a match made in heaven... The most hateful team in history, meet the most detestable manager in football

I mean, if you must have a Southampton fetish, why don't we go for the one that was actually good. The curtain twitcher. I'd take him over Martin any day.

I hate this idea that you should not be against a signing or appointment before they've arrived. We know what we are getting. A vainglorious, egotistical tactically inflexible, over-groomed, deathly-dull, tippy tap merchant who has been run out of town from his last job and tanked Southampton before that. That's why I'm against it.

On the other hand, it has seemed that Martin has been destined to become our manager at some point. He is a bullet we have narrowly dodged before and it seems that there is just an inevitability about it. We might as well just get it over and done with now.
