Martin turns down job 07:30 - May 18 with 5474 viewsWhiterockin

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/fo

Speaking at a Swansea fans' forum on Tuesday night, Martin said: "We are just really grateful to be here. Our families love being here and we love being here.

"We have been supported incredibly well since we have been here, which we will always be grateful for.

"My agent rang me two weeks ago and said there's a club that would like to speak to you. I said I had absolutely no interest because we are really happy here.

"I think we are early on in a project we feel really passionate about. We left our old club early to come here, but it is probably one of the only clubs we would have done that for because of the Swansea way, the environment and the playing style.

"We are really excited to get to work in pre-season and carry on."

No they don't, I can assure you. Most especially our key players right now, under the spotlight.

Martin is under huge pressure, for lots of reasons.

Why do you say 'the players think so' ? Any real evidence ?

A poor season, falling way below the lowest of expectations at 15th, delivering a naïve brand of losing, ineffective, inefficient losing football.


There is no positive evidence.
It's all about faith and hope and possibly charity

Cooper was given, Gallagher, Brewster, Gehui, Ayew on 80k a week for 2 seasons, plus many more. I'd hardly say he was shat on by the owners

Potter came in knowing the situation we were in at the time and that we had to sell players, he still had Mcburnine, Roberts, Fer, Van der hoorn, Celina and Grimes, again hardly shat on was he.

Martin was allowed to spend money frequently, Piroe, Martins, Fisher,Ogbeta, Williams Loan wouldn't have been cheap, Downes. Pretty much given licence and allowed to take a squad from 2 play off campaigns to 15th without a murmur of content from the owners. He's had an easy ride as far as i can see


.

Martin was given far too much licence to spend at the outset - Winter is hopeless, hapless in many ways.

'without a murmur of content' - surely you mean discontent.

I can assure you that there was massive discontent ahead of the autumn purple patch lucky break, led by the senior players. It was fact that 'the entire coaching team woulda been out by xmas'. Martin and his rookie coaches were cacking it. Fact.

Martin is hanging on by a thread, a thread orchestrated and controlled by his landlord, Martin Morgan, overlooking Three Cliffs Bay. Something's so not right, in so many ways.

That easy ride is entirely down to Martin, Martin Morgan.

You're way beyond out of your depth 'ol man.

Martin's been shacked up in Martin Morgan's pile in Penmaen, overlooking Three Cliffs Bay. They share a common retailing interest. He has been earmarked for a place at Gower Heights, Upper Killay, along with new(ish) resident Downes.

I'm happy to share my ongoing intel. Are you ?

Martin was given far too much license to spend by the hapless Winter, a CEO way out of his depth.

Fisher is the very best example.

- What are your thoughts on why the hapless Winter allowed Martin to spend willy-nilly ?

- What are your thoughts on why the Martinball tactics failed so ignominiously ? 15th and counting down............

If there is one thing I’ve learned about Martin is that his image, or more specifically how he is perceived, is of utmost importance to him.

Pretending he is some in demand manager publicly does not shock me in the slightest. From all other managers telling him how difficult his tactics are to play against (even though most had no trouble beating them), to his repetitive “dominance” spiel, to his refusal to take questions on his tactics.

It’s all about the show. I can’t listen to him for longer than 2 mins.

I really am looking forward to the next era, whenever that may be. This period we are in just seems like wasted time.

I notice he’s already setting up the narrative for next season - still early in the process apparently, despite just writing off around 50 games.

Downes recently said some very good things about Grimes and about his time here. I'll take it all with a pinch of salt though.

Any staff member can and, at some point, will leave. The manager is no different, come to that, it applies to the owners too. They all come and go, the fans are the only constant, apart from the plastics of course.

If Martin meant this then OK, good. He can start next season with an nearly new sheet, I'll give him the chance because next season he can have absolutely no excuses. Players have left and some tohers will leave too, lets hope he recruits cleverly (not Tom though) and we see genuine progress.

Come December the axes of judgement will start to fall.

I don’t know many players who will publicly state the opposite though to be fair.

I can’t imagine there are many players enthused at our position and our performances. There isn’t too much enjoyable about not picking up your win bonus week after week.

Piroe not wanting to sign a new contract as we speak I see. He won’t be the last.
