Southampton board said to have set Deadline Day for Russell...

Although there haven’t been any “Sack” yells from the St. Mary’s crowd during games, it appears the board has already determined

when their patience will run out. Saints fans, at least those who watch the team online, appear to have already lost patience with

Russell Martin.

After just one point from the first eight games, it is not surprising that the media has been making predictions regarding

Southampton’s manager’s future in recent days.

However, few teams in the contemporary era remain loyal to a manager following Russell Martin’s season debut.

However it seems that Sport Republic do not have everlasting patience and according to tbrfootball.com the Southampton board have

made a decision on Russell Martin’s future.

According to their sources, in order to keep Martin’s job, they will allow him to take the November international break.

In other words, he has three games. The first is against Manchester City on Saturday, which for most teams is more about limiting

damage than actually earning a point. After that, he has a home game against Everton, who have recently been revitalised, on

November 2nd, and a trip to Wolves a week later.

It’s unclear exactly what the criteria for these games will be, but the truth remains that whoever is in command after the international

break will have a large mountain to climb before they can even come close to avoiding problems if we lose any of them.

According to tbrfootball.com, the Saints are targeting a number of managers if they fire them. Many Saints supporters discuss Martin,

Graham Potter, and David Moyes, but Michael Carrick, who is currently Middlesbrough’s manager, is an outsider.

Carrick will soon mark two years in the hot seat at Boro. He brought the team to the playoffs in his first season and came close last

season, but he did lead the team to

He plays similarly to Russell Martin, but he is reportedly more adaptable, and it is this lack of adaptability that could cost Martin

dearly. On Saturday against Leicester, however, the possession football game did not appear to be used to the same extent as in the

past.

It appears like St. Mary’s patience is running out. It will soon be known if Dragan Solak’s faith in Russell Martin was the right one or if

it was a mistake, but it will be too little, too late.
