Russell Martin’s contract ? We will have to wait & see. It’s external. I 15:55 - Feb 17 with 3845 viewsSwansIndependent


Russell Martin’s contract ? We will have to wait & see. It’s external. I can’t control that 17th Feb 2023 15:50
Sometimes a headline is misleading, and other times people just read the few words that make up that headline. There’s plenty of those about especially on Twitter and Instagram. In Russell Martin’s case this morning he was edged in to answering questions on his Swansea future. It now seems some clever manipulation has been offered to suit the anti Russell Martin narrative, and regardless of our position or any opinion on his future, that’s really poor form. 0

It is quite true.james went to Shrewsbury on loan and struggled ,rodon went to Cheltenham and couldn't get much game time..so what's your point ..as potter was forced to play untried youngsters who went to flourish for him..


It’s not, you said It was McBurnies first season. He had 16 appearances for us at Premier League level and half a season in the Championship before coming back to Potters side.

The rest were waiting on their inevitable call up to the first team. You make it sound like we threw a load of youths together and Potter turned them into stars. They were brought to us for that very reason and Rodon and Roberts were touted as prospects that should be in the starting line up long before Potter.

It was just that we couldn’t bring them in to a side battling Premier league relegation. So Potter wasn’t “forced” to play them, playing them was always part of the plan upon relegation.

He was given £7m to spend, he could have easily brought in a striker, right back and a winger for the first team, he didn’t bother because he didn’t need to. There was no forcing, he was very lucky he had such players at his disposal.

Our best chance was with Potter.

Ollie McBurnie
Dan James
Van der Hoorn
Joe Rodon
Conner Roberts
Leroy Fer
Martin Olsson

Then the usual Grimes, Naughton and Fulton mob.

10th was a shocking finish really.


Our best chance was with Cooper in the final.
90 minutes from the PL
But he blew it as his head was elsewhere.
Anyway as you are always on about keeping threads on point, the owners will offer a new contract as they don't care about the club progressing.
Keith has made this abundantly clear that they will offer a contract with restrictive caveats
Just about keeping their "investment" as stable as possible until they can sell.
Martin would be wrong to commit to such a contract but who knows ?

Potter was forced into playing Rodon, Vav de Hoorn was our only senior centre half left after Fernandez was sold on transfer deadline day (after playing the first league game). We'd already let Amat & Bartley leave.
He spent the first part of the season integrating the young inexperienced players into the team & wasn't helped by the contract situation which made Routledge unavailable for months.
Olsson missed well over half the season due to injury as well.
I'd loved to have seen him have a 2nd season working with that squad but it wasn't to be.
Potter's signings were undoubtedly poor though, that didn't help matters.

That’s due to the excellence he showed that season. Prior to the season starting we had less chance than the previous season, hence we were longer odds to do so.

Nobody knows what the owners will do, it’s speculation.

He was given £7m to spend, there was no forcing there. If he didn’t want to play him or didn’t feel he was good enough then he could have bought multiple.

I can go back to pre season where on this very forum I was stating how good Rodon was and how he would be a PL player. I believe someone labelled him a League 1 player (Lisa maybe?).

Rodon was always going to make the step up that season, Man City wanted him and showed quite serious interest at one point.

If they decided to bid they would have got him, but often it’s best to let them develop. That was the stage they were at when we put him in our squad, Spurs beat them to the punch.

He was not someone we got lucky with, he was highly rated for years. Same goes for McBurnie, James and Roberts. They were all going to make the step up and Potter was a very lucky man indeed just like Dave Jones was with Aaron Ramsey.

As I said, the money he had that season he could have signed others in those spots. He didn’t because he had ready made stars waiting for him.

Disagree potter was and still is a good manager..Brighton are reaping rewards what he done there..punching above their weight..if Chelsea give him time and a forward..he will prove his worth..as for man City and rodon..man City were interested when he was young to develop like they do with loads kids with potential..emyr Hughes was same..Dan James rodon..are probably championship standard anyway..overrated the both and done well to get what we did for them..won't be long and Jane's be back in championship,he's on downward spiral..

Where did I say he wasn’t a good manager?

Potter has spent almost as much as Pep Guardiola since his arrival in the Premier League, so it would be incorrect to say they are reaping the rewards of him, as much as reaping the rewards of hundreds upon hundreds of millions spent.

Man City were still sniffing after Rodon when Potter was manager. They had been tracking him for years, so again it wouldn’t be accurate to label him as some youth player we were forced to use who we got lucky with.

There would be no source on earth that will know what the owners are going to do. If Martin doesn’t know (which he doesn’t), nobody else does.

He would never refuse a contract, he will take anything he can get. But I highly doubt he will be offered one personally.

His mates in the media room like “Mitch” are doing their best though bless them.

They are punching in the weight division of a club that has spent hundreds upon hundreds of millions of pounds.

I knew Rodon was a prospect as well, I saw him play in the under 21's/23's a number of times over the previous couple of seasons thanks.
The step up to Championship football is a big one though & Potter did really well developing Rodon, Roberts & James.
