Was this a prediction of how many would be in their jobs by the end of the week?

Yes .:winking:

Resigned apparently, due to ill health...again. Poor bloke.

It appears that the Black Dog has returned, I would guess that's the last we will see of him in managerial terms, just shows how stressful football management can be even when you are winning...

Terrible shame. Respect to Swindon for allowing him to revive his career. We do not know the reason, for sure, as to why he has left but I wish him all the best whatever.

This. Hope to see Martin Ling back in football at some point ........... all the best to him - I can still see rising like a salmon to head the goal against Wolves back in the 4th division. Fabtastic.

What a sad story. Let's just hope he finds a way back to health and happiness.

And the very best of luck to him (apart from on January 9th). Always a favourite player of mine as a kid and he's been through a rough patch lately.

Well worth repeating.

Very best of luck Martin.

Great article that and a partial insight into the horror that anxiety and depression is.

Best wishes to him.

Just seen this, sad what some people go through, and it's generally the nicer ones.

Great interview and so insightful. Great player, top chap and I wish him the very best.

I too suffer from depression and anxiety and take medication and have psychotherapy. I cannot imagine how much worse Martin's condition was/is to go through ECT. Hope it is now largely behind him.

So do I. But I also hope you get well too.

Good to see on MOTD that Martin was co-commentator for Fulham v. Hull on Saturday.

Has been appointed Director of Football at Orient by the new owners. Hope he has conquered his demons - good luck Martin!
