Russell Martin is a dead man walking. It doesn’t take a genius to figure out that the Southampton fail is not going to last as Rangers manager. A win percentage of 37% falls miles short of the £25M he’s spent.
He’s not completely to blame – Kevin Thelwell has shopped in the bargain bin and spent over the odds for the rubbish he’s found in there.
Beale
But equally Martin bigged up each signing as his best friend, moreover just like Michael Beale used to do.
We didn’t think any Rangers manager would BS as much as Beale, but then Clement did, and Martin has. It’s the timbre of Rangers manager these days that absolute clowns get the gig. Men who are nowhere near up to the task of this club.
We know Rangers is not an easy job, but every manager makes it harder for himself. Seems to be a masochism about the job that each boss makes stupid selections, ridiculous tactics and signs mince.
The basics of Rangers are get a good defence and build from it. No, Rangers these days are all about nonsense progressive coaches and their transitions and other numpty buzzwords which clearly hoodwink in a room filled with suits.
Don’t care
But on the pitch, Dundee don’t care about the ‘transitional zone where x player and y player interlink to combat space requirements’. ‘FFS’ just kick the ball forward. get it to the attack and smash that sod into the back of the net.
Back to basics, something our club refuses to do.
And another moron pays for it, introducing their own absolute piffle, their own waffle – their own way of getting it wrong.
And here we are. Gubbed by Bruges, 5th in the league, and struggling against Alloa. Russell Martin is a dead man walking.
Martin, come in, your time is up.
