I get zero pleasure knowing that this dud of a "manager/ coach" was going to be an abject failure from the second our new owners hired him. I'm sure many will remember what I posted?!
How did he get the gig? What did our board see in him that the majority of supporters didn't? His record is abysmal! He is the biggest fraud in British football! Imo, he's a deluded fantasist!
Surely there is nobody left on here backing this guy? Even the most ardent supporter must see him for what he is? When supporters like My Star want him gone so early it speaks volumes. Hope you are well My Star.
As much as this might sound sensationalised, Martin is ruining our club on the field. It is that dire!
No wins in the league! Sitting 2nd bottom after 5 games! Pumped out of CL! Lost in 1st game (at home) in EL! Dwindling attendances! Protests! public fallouts with players! What else can we expect to come? I dread to think.
As long as this egomaniac is at the helm, we are in a very perilous situation. It's not going to get better! If A. Cavenagh et al do not act now, it is going to get much worse.
And please spare me any excuses regarding decisions, I doubt that will wash.
Apologies for the exclamation mark overload. ?.

You did that sunshine, men that appointed him can also do one, great having you back on mate.

Sunshine,
Was it not the case that the recruitment company got it down to two candidates, and Thelwell then arrived and he wanted a third 'outstanding' candidate added to the list (this being Martin) and the board agreed to interview the three of them?
Martin did his 'snake oil salesman' routine, and the interview panel fell for it.
So ultimately Thelwell is to blame for bringing this fraud to the table?

Good to see you posting ssfc. I hope things outside of our disaster of a club are good with you.

You're absolutely right SS . Had a moment last night I thought right let's look for positives and maybe we can turn this around, I must have been have a senior moment. ?
From the very start, the warning signs were there. His track record wasn't just poor, it was a clear indication that he wasn't equipped for the job at this level. Yet the board either ignored it, or worse, didn't even care which makes you wonder what their real plan for the club actually is and if EHL has heard correct about the contract it just gets more worrisome!
The evidence is right in front of us: no wins in the league, embarrassing results in Europe, supporters already drifting away, protests growing louder, and players publicly falling out with him.
That isn't bad luck, that's a pattern of failure. And once you lose the dressing room and the fans, there's no way back for him.
Calling him a fraud might sound harsh, but it's the truth. He talks a big game, but nothing on the pitch backs it up. Football is about results, not empty words, and right now the results are bloody awful.
The reality is If the board don't act soon, they'll be complicit in dragging the club further into crisis. And if they really had the club's best interests at heart, they'd see what every supporter can already see: this experiment has failed. End it now, before it gets even uglier.

Sunshine even if all you say is correct why have we not acted like a big club and sacked him? Does anyone believe if this was Leeds he'd still be in a job?
So I wonder if Cavanagh is running the show and he's detached from things living in the USA and relying on Thelwell and Stewart who are advising him that any manager would struggle not only Martin. All 3 need removed.

Sunshine, well summed up.
We're watching our season fall apart.
26 Sep 2025 13:45:02
Chermiti is never a striker, Danilo is never a striker and Miovski might bag 10 goals all season if we're lucky. Shocking tactics and poor team selection aside, we can't even create chances never mind taking them. We'll not finish in top two this season, regardless of whether Martin is bagged or not. Worst Rangers team I've ever seen.

It's so frustrating sunshine. I've not used my ST since St Mirren game mate, nor will I until this guy is gone. He is ruining us on the park we are absolutely toothless up top.
We look like a rabbit caught in the headlights any time we get near the opposition box. What advantage is he trying to create with this high back line? whatever it is, it doesn't work. 3 or 4 times we were absolutely cut right open by 2-3 passes.
It's like watching a primary school team. I have no faith in these new owners at all, they obviously haven't got a clue what's going on, before someone comes at me with they're billionaires for a reason of course they have a clue.
I'm not talking about how much money they've made, I'm talking about how "our" club is being run (into the ground) - what are these people thinking? I don't understand. If true about Moore being guaranteed so many starts in each competition and 8 million for Chermiti, someone needs sacked for that alone.

Good to see you back my friend. Martin OUT ?.
26 Sep 2025 14:24:31
It's good to hear from you SS as it was likewise last night in the group chat. The mind boggles that anyone within the club thinks that the results and performances are acceptable. I remember your post and I'm sure you would have quite happily came back on if it was the other way round and you had got it wrong. Unfortunately you were bang on mate.
26 Sep 2025 14:34:37
Good post mate and good to see you posting.
