And it will eventually lead the swans back to the premier league. 0 All seems ok for now, click above. Twinklyfearytrolls below.

All isn’t well in certain quarters that’s certain, but it’s not exactly unfixable. |  |

Good old PR stuff though? Even if things aren’t perfect he’s not going to publicly go against the owners and his employer. This season will play out hopefully with improved results. The main pointer of how well thought of he is will come in the summer |  | |  |

Of course, I’m just pulling his leg. Last time I actually believed what a manager said in a press conference must have been in the 90’s before I realised it’s meaningless nonsense. You have to use your common sense and read past what they are actually saying. Let’s not forget it was only around 6 months ago he was telling MK Dons fans he was staying for the long term only to leave 2 days later. Again he wasn’t going to say “nah I’m off”. I have never understood why managers even do press conferences anymore, and get asked the type of questions they get asked when you know you aren’t going to get the truth. Who’s injured, who is fit… that’s about all these things are good for. The rest is just noise. |  |

I’d say he almost certainly does. When he was at MK he said “I know people will be criticising me for saying this again…” when he was talking about “should have won, we dominated”. I think they were very much saying the same thing at the time. Considering the country was in lockdown he must have been talking about forums/Twitter etc |  |

If he says anything wrong he could face disciplinary action maybe? Some of his comments would suggest if he doesn't read this board that somebody does and conveys opinions to him! |  |

Not sure what he has done to onehourglow you are not to bad compared to him. But once he dislikes you are knackered no rational sense will change his opinion. |  |

Martin accepts shared ownership and management decisions made as a group. Silverstein, Winter, Allen, Martin. He may not entirely agree but he accepts it. Swansea are not Bournemouth or Stoke. |  |

The last manager to drop his guard on camera has to be Kevin Keegan |  | |  |

What do you expect him to say...."Im pi$$ed off that despite getting some players lined up the plug was pulled at the last minute...its not good enough" and then throw his toys out of the pram....the guy knows he has already had a fair chink of wedge spent out for him... |  |

Don’t doubt it at all. Some of his comments even early on in the season felt if they had some connection to what was being said elsewhere. As I said earlier in the thread it appeared to be that way at MK too. He’s only human I suppose, I bet many would do the same. |  |

The lady doth protest too much daps. I love the fact you try to give inside info on this forum when you have spent the last 10 years getting transfer link after transfer link completely wrong… I won’t be relying on your info any time soon. You have had a Daps, son |  |
