| It’s June 2nd so where is the announcement ? 07:00 - Jun 2 with 2150 views | SwansIndependent | It’s June 2nd so where is the announcement ? 2nd Jun 2023 07:00First it was 500k, then we managed to get the information it was 750k or close to it, and now we understand that the Swans are pushing for even more compensation from Southampton for Russell Martin’s services. The reasons as we know ( in the main ) are that Southampton are stating they are a championship club so the higher ‘premier league’ clause for Martin’s release doesn’t apply. 1 If you want to remove this post from the board index, just click the hide post icon below.

| It’s June 2nd so where is the announcement ? on 07:22 - Jun 2 with 1596 views | Whiterockin | It really is time for this to be brought to a conclusion everyone needs to move on. As I see it RM is finished at our club and if this move fails it will probably be a move to another championship club for him. If this was to be the case we would only get the lower compensation fee at best. Realism needs to rule and common sense prevail. |  | |  |
| It’s June 2nd so where is the announcement ? on 07:26 - Jun 2 with 1590 views | guthrieintherain | Good article that. My take on it we are right to ask for the full amount. Their sales and parachute payments will be huge compared to the compo. But if they are that reluctant to pay this relatively small amount they will not want to pay top dollar for our players either. The owners are right on this one if we don't get the correct price put Martin and co on gardening leave like Cooper and take it from there. As long as it does not affect our search for a manager why should we pander to Martin or the Saints. Chances are another Championship club will come in for him if Southampton don't pay up and our owners know this. Players contracts don't finish till the end of June either a little bit of patience is needed. [Post edited 2 Jun 2023 7:34]

That's a fair point but with the additional cash coming into the club they may have a slightly different outlook. But yes if they are not prepared to employ someone else whilst Russ is on leave a compromise needs to be reached. |  |

| It’s June 2nd so where is the announcement ? on 07:53 - Jun 2 by guthrieintherain | Yes sorry getting my dates mixed up in my head when did Cooper join Forest & Martin join us. It did bugger up our pre season though it was Martins top excuse for finishing 15th and there were plenty of them. Perhaps someone could put up a list I would but start work this afternoon [Post edited 2 Jun 2023 8:01]

Cooper joined Forest 21 September 2021, and RM started 1 August 2021. [Post edited 2 Jun 2023 8:07]

| It’s June 2nd so where is the announcement ? on 08:00 - Jun 2 by Whiterockin | Towards the end of September after another clusterfest of a summer, starting with the play off final. |
Yes we can't let it affect our pre season but if we have to wait a couple more weeks and in the meantime get our succession planning sorted it's all good. But yes cannot drag on like with Cooper and Martin. |  |

There needs to be a time where compromise must be reached or the whole process becomes destructive. My view is that they pay the Championship rate but if they are promoted to the PL with RM at the helm then they pay the difference then, Hardball, stubbornness, call it what you like is no good in the long run. |  |

Yeah, but we also always let things go on the cheap. Except when we don't. Honestly, people need to make their minds up. Some of the criticism could even be valid if it was at least consistent. |  |

I could be wrong but thought Cooper was looking at part of the pre season up in England and when forest came in they agreed to pay the compo and then the deal was concluded but i honestly do not think Swansea paid for cooper and Martin at the same time was all included in the compe, but of course i could be wrong. |  | |  |
| It’s June 2nd so where is the announcement ? on 08:52 - Jun 2 with 1290 views | dantheswansman | Swansea have every right to demand the PL club fee compensation, Southampton will not be a championship club until the season starts, technically right now they’re still a PL club with PL club contracts with sponsors and everything else, they should be paying the PL price, this is Southampton trying to pull a fast one, Swansea need to stand firm, in layman's terms Southampton are taking the piss |  | |  |

When it comes to money then it wil be the be all and end all, everything else can just wait and they should have by now learned from their past mistakes. My worry is, these players they gave ready and waiting to sign could get fed up and just move on, even the new manager might not want these players. It's becoming another joke to add to the list. |  |

Good post. If he wants to go ,then go he should. Pointless keeping a disgruntled employee on the books . We need a new coach and this is a perfect opportunity . Personally I’d simply accept what Soton are offering and get us reset . Owners are killing us |  |

The only predictor of future behaviour is past behaviour, on that basis we'll have another messy pre season. |  |

We paid him £140k and he left at that point was my understanding. |  |

One thing for sure , the owners are very good at saving & making money which imo is their and always has been their primary focus |  |
