SAINTS fans appear to be edging closer to unanimous agreement that manager Russell Martin's tenure at the club is on borrowed time. Martin's side suffered the misfortune of two controversial VAR decisions going against them in the 2-0 defeat at relegation rivals Wolves. However, that has not stopped Saints fans from feeling they are underperforming, having picked up just four points from 11 Premier League matches.
Martin has enjoyed a strong relationship with a section of the Saints support after he got the club promoted out of the Championship in his first season. But many let their feelings be known in the wake of the defeat at Molineux, with two weeks until their next fixture. This is how they reacted.
.. On the Daily Echo website, Aberdeen Saint said: "Rasmus and RM must go NOW! Sports Republic are not fit to be the custodians of our club.
" Dante7thlevel commented: "70% possession and NO shots on target. RM has to go now. We have become a joke - a keepy-uppy team who can't shoot straight.
" Nunnerr added: "When exactly will SR pull the plug on this nonsense? Embarrassing listening to pundits on TV and Radio all saying the same thing." On social media site X, formerly Twitter, supporters added: MARTIN OUT. 1 win in 11.
0 shots on target in a must win. Pointless possession. #SaintsFC — Jack 🔴⚪️ (@saintlavoo) November 9, 2024 Russell Martin showed loyalty & gave the likes of AA, Smallbone etc a chance in the Prem, but when it didn't work out, he dropped them.
The club should be at that point with Martin now...
🚩 #SaintsFC — Gazz Smith (@GazzSmith4) November 9, 2024 That's it for Russell Martin I believe, thanks for the ride Russell 👏👍But a change is necessary #SaintsFC — Scott Two Stones Observatory (@ScottUPPSALA) November 9, 2024 So wanted Russell Martin to do well but we can’t go on like this. Blame VAR for sure but we are so passive 70% possession but do nothing with it. We need to change the Manager now.
#SaintsFC #MartinOut — Billy Foot (@BILLY_FISH_76) November 9, 2024 Russell Martin, Thank you so much for promotion. And thank you so much for that day at wembley that you gave us because we were not foot enough to finish above Ipswich. But it is honestly time to say goodbye mate.
That was just horrible watch #Saintsfc — Mahmoud (@Mahmoud_SFC) November 9, 2024 Not everyone agrees that another managerial sacking is the way forward, posing the question - who could effectively replace the promotion winner? Swissowned said: "I think that’s probably going to be time up for RM after that result. I can’t see who will be interested in taking over that would likely do any better." Saying Russell Martin out is all well and good, but who comes in and does a better job? #SaintsFC — Joe Brown (@joelewisbrown_) November 9, 2024.
