Hearing some good news from the inside troops.
Meeting early doors at the training centre tomorrow - hopefully it's just a formality.
13 Sep 2025 22:46:55
I believe it could be merely a briefing. Steven Smith probably taking next training session.
13 Sep 2025 22:46:55
Thanks EHL.
13 Sep 2025 22:47:19
Fingers crossed mate.
13 Sep 2025 22:48:52
Thanks mate hope your right but been that many rumours and nonsense will wait till confirmed before getting hopes up.
13 Sep 2025 22:49:28
See how happy I am seeing this post and seeing your name as the poster. I'm putting my trust in you to be giving good info lol.
13 Sep 2025 22:49:53
Ohh i'm moist haha probably getting more lettuce delivered for the vegan shepherds pie???.
13 Sep 2025 23:19:08
Get Thelwell out as well!
13 Sep 2025 23:41:38
Please ?
Then ask the question to Mourinho.
13 Sep 2025 23:47:37
I know that the vast majority want RM gone but regardless of whoever replaces him, what's the chances of the supporters giving him time?
He will be inheriting a squad he didn't choose.
I've said this on a few occasions after management issues, we are an impatient bunch but hopefully the next appointment is the correct appointment.
Time will tell….
13 Sep 2025 23:54:07
Why say this and build up peoples hopes, always dangling carrots that never end up being gold.
See what I did there?
Hopefully he's away, I can't watch interviews or anything to do with him.
13 Sep 2025 23:59:04
The salami tactics not working Asa.
14 Sep 2025 00:00:01
EHL, ASA, I've been waiting all night to see your names pop up. Appreciate the update troops! Hopefully, not just for us but for Martin the correct decision is made to relieve him of his duties. Unfortunately hasn't work and it won't turn around. Will wish RM well but he wasn't the right fit and I hope the owners recognise this when they're doing the read up on the new gaffer.
14 Sep 2025 00:13:58
Probably just that…a meeting,
14 Sep 2025 00:29:38
Hope you ate right ehl, and when you come back, bring mcinness with you.
14 Sep 2025 02:40:48
Would be silly not to look at Nuno, A manager who has played multiple styles for different type of clubs.
14 Sep 2025 02:52:02
Keep refreshing the site hoping to see the news that RM has been relieved of his duties.
14 Sep 2025 06:18:30
As per usual thanks for the update info EHL ?In my honest opinion unfortunately i don't think Russell Martin will be sacked just now?The meeting could be about anything to discuss the poor performances and what we can do to rectify it and probably won't be what we all want ie. to bin Russell Martin ?He undoubtedly was the wrong appointment yet again but for now i really do think both patrick stewart and kevin thelwell will back martin and let him continue for now ?.
14 Sep 2025 06:34:56
Im not someone who's ITK at all. However, people need to stop thinking Mourinho will take a job at Rangers. Ill eat my shoe if he does.
14 Sep 2025 07:09:09
On a side note - It was obvious an 8 mill player should not have been signed during the obvious flux that was/ is going on at club - reeked of desperate measures and of backpocket dealings and percentage cuts for those involved - Thelwell and Co will leave us high and dry IMHO.
14 Sep 2025 07:21:16
Bathgate_bear Martin was always on the back foot because no one wanted him. He did absolutely nothing to earn the right to be our manager. It seemed like a lazy appointment because of Thelwell.
The club need to have ambition. I've unfortunately got the fear that another manager in Dyche will be given the reigns when Martin goes. Another manager who has not earned the right to be manager of our club.
Already Thelwell has a lot to answer for. He's going to be chased out of the door next. The signing of Chermiti was baffling.
14 Sep 2025 07:25:02
EHL, your post hopefully has the ending everyone wants, by God we need it.
14 Sep 2025 07:35:04
Think nuno would be the top signing we could make just can't see it will have bigger offers.
14 Sep 2025 07:36:41
I just have a horrible sinking feeling that RM isn't going anywhere anytime soon.
14 Sep 2025 07:37:46
That gimp thelwell needs to go too. Said last week martin on of best coaches he's ever worked with. wouldn't trust him to run a bath. This is very embarrassing for the new owners. Season already done. Madness. Out the cup saturday. Lucky if ibrox has 15k there if brussel still there. Am not going back till he's gone.
14 Sep 2025 07:51:40
Load of good players there Bathgate so think a strong manager can turn things around fairly quickly.
14 Sep 2025 08:10:07
Defo baz think we actually have a good squad of player.
14 Sep 2025 08:37:37
I also think the squad is good.
14 Sep 2025 08:43:44
Who was the last foreign manager that was a real success? GVB was sacked within a year, done great in Europe, obviously, won a Scottish cup, but in the league, the bread and butter threw away a 6 point lead and we were awful to watch and struggled to break teams down. Clement, Pedro, Paul le guen. All rubbish. Do we have to go back as far as Dick Advocaat to find success with a foreigner?
Can we please stop wishing for Mourinho, Nuno etc. Bizarre as it is, this chap wee league, is unlike any league these guys have managed in, and its much harder than people give it credit, especially at Rangers where we are demanding success.
McInness would have us top right now, but he's not leaving Hearts, its a good time to be there right now. Robinson would probably have us top as well. But think he's a Celtic man. I don't know who the right man is, maybe SG, but I don't think its one of these foreigners who'll underestimate the task in hand.
14 Sep 2025 09:05:47
It's a decent educated guess by anyone he's getting canned …. You wouldn't need a source of anyone in the know to come up with it … he's done. How long it takes to find an interim and agree a compensation package will determine when he's done. No inside info just common sense I'd think ….
14 Sep 2025 09:21:20
May have a squad of players but we don't have a team.
Teams win .
14 Sep 2025 09:24:17
Any truth in that the players were out for some team bonding last night? Something that had been organised for a while and the players had to attend?
14 Sep 2025 09:28:51
Let's hope so ehl.
14 Sep 2025 09:46:35
Shanks, Ferguson, McInness, bleed blue, we blanked all of them, u really couldn't make that up.
14 Sep 2025 10:16:46
Stewart, Thelwell and Martin need to go, Jose could replace the last 2 and a lettuce could replace Stewart .
14 Sep 2025 10:31:56
Good players there evident on international duty under different managers
Martin is a charleton an egotistical idiot with no clue in la la land
Anybody could do better
Get MARTIN OUT NOW
before we are out the cup as well.
14 Sep 2025 10:47:53
Get Mourinho and Weir in ASAP with Sir Alex to give advice as Mourinho respects him - with also some Gers blood in backroom staff - winners on and off field! - forget these young project guys as am fed up with same nonsense?.
14 Sep 2025 10:58:28
Owners need to weigh up how much they will lose if fans start walking away if martin stays
Cant believe they have been so stupid to appoint him in first place
I said day one that martin could be the shortest serving manager in our history and i should be proved right today weather i will have to wait longer to be proved right will only confirm thelwell not right man either.
14 Sep 2025 11:00:23
MARTINS ego is killing our club
More he's here more damage he will do
His will tank us no mistake
We won't win any cups
Wi this *RCE IN charge we will be fighting relegation
Emdy saying, or dreaming of improving under this imposter it ain't going to happen
Every player he's signed has became worse under him
Our begin international
Has became worse under him
MARTIN has no clue
No way back
He thinks it's players
It's him END OF
SACKED NOW
EORST MANAGER IN OUR HISTORY.
