Russell Martin : The multi million pound Swansea City game the majority ownership have won 21st May 2023 07:43
It’s now not a case of if Russell Martin leaves Swansea City it’s more of a case of when. That is of course barring any disastrous last minute hitches for the current Swans head coach with regards to his own personal planning and logistics. So, how did we get to todays formality that once again Swansea City will have a summer of searching, and to an extent rebuilding ? 2

Excellent write up, in some ways it reminds me of the Paulo Sousa departure.

Fantastic write up.
As well as getting rid of Martin, these owners want the Crown Jewels sold too.

It was a game of poker and Martin won in my opinion and it was helped by the successful run in.

I just don't get what the yanks are planning, there is no pro active approach and are totally detached from supporters. There seems to be no plan or foundation being built in a push for a real go at getting out of this leage(into the prem anyhow). It just seems to be to produce players to sell at a profit with more and more talk of the academy.

They need to sort their shiite out quickly, it carries on like it is and the locals will get frustrated even more.

Seems to be the case that it's not just players Martin has a knack for falling out with. To go from a position where ownership was fully behind him to the point of considering a new contract despite a run of form that would have seen him sacked anywhere else to us just being glad to see the back of him is really something.

That we might actually get some compensation for him as opposed to paying it out would be good business.

Good article, and confirms my gut feeling views since around February when RM's press conferences had a change in attitude from him.

Both sides will come out of this as losers and winners.

I believe the owners will have got rid of the manager and not as a pay off but as in incoming amount.

They may also be losers as IF form were changing for the better we could have had an outside chance of pushing for a top six next season.

RM a loser as his ego will have taken a battering, but also a winner where his salary could get a good boost, and maybe backing on the standard of player he wants for his 'style'

However,Martin has described those with whom he seems to have fallen out as “ good people” or those he likes.
He might have been rather cunning there .
Frankly, it’s why I’ve not trusted him even from the early days of his tenure .
Opinions anyway

How many of the squad of players has he fallen out with? Three.

Ateotd a coach/manager has multiple personalities to deal with, he cannot get on with everyone as not every player has the same mentality as him, a coach has to be an oppressive, co-operative and submissive in the way he deals with his players,obafemi and paterson are/were trouble makers and Martin gave them plenty of chances, they were bad apples and left to their own devices they could have ruined the squad.

Always someone else's fault. Just as Russy likes it.

'… trouble makers and Martin gave them plenty of chances, they were bad apples and left to their own devices they could have ruined the squad.'
He completely mismanaged their situations. The lack of leadership with Paterson left the door wide open for Obafemi to exploit. Both player got their own way.
I don’t understand what you meant by 'left to their own devices'! They are in a controlled, coached, micro managed environment not a pub team. Leaving them 'to their own devices' makes no sense.

A well orchestrated and very well pitched double bluff by both sides which always ends in the weaker party losing, if loss is the right terminology. All I see is numerous parties making millions Russ included. Not bad work because let’s be honest the Swans had his replacement lined up in March.

Some players respond very well to RM’s management style, it is somewhat unique in its delivery and can soon freak an ego driven footballer out big time. That happened to Piroe but he got over it and look at the results. Obafemi, being slightly less able to understand what affective learning is and how it impacts on people just rebelled. People can blame who they like but at the end of the day we either missed a trick by slowly edging Martin towards the door or it will all be forgotten when the man from Japan potentially arrives.

Taking sides never works and as I said in this mornings article we have to look at the obvious information before us, and possibly allow our own judgements go to sleep a while.

Difficult for some, but it’s how we run the website, despite certain folk believing differently.

You really think so (manager lined up in March)?

I wouldn’t mind betting we’ll be in to August before an announcement and then the whole palaver all over again if doing late deals. Or indeed none at all.

Please prove me wrong😏
