SANTA’S SACK
Football Daily didn’t get where it is today by sticking rigidly to a certain style. Like Groucho Marx, we’ve always tried to adhere to certain principles but if we get even the slightest sense readers don’t like them … well, we have other ones that might be more to your liking. The same, sadly, cannot be said for Russell Martin, whose fanatical zealotry when it came to making Southampton play football in what he perceived to be The Right Way when almost all available evidence suggested it was the wrong way, has finally cost him his job after his side suffered a humiliating home defeat at the hands of Tottenham at St Mary’s on Monday night.
