Its telling on what he says about Martin to, despite the accusations by some that he fell out upset quarrelled with "loads" of players, it was laughable then and moreso now.

Managers and players have disagreements all the time, its the nature of the business, nothing more nothing less.

I see he didn’t mention his weekly salary demand just his age.
He’s on a very decent contract at Hull, not massive by todays standards but the Swans were never going to pay that.

Don't think it tells the whole story but does give an indication on how we are being run and the end game with those in power.

Doesn't show us in a good reflection that clip but are we surprised!?

This is not the Swansea City we knew. These are not the right owners for our Club. They’ve taken us to the next level alright.

Meanwhile the bright sparks are having a go at our manager. It’s not quite the Titanic but we can’t drift aimlessly like this indefinitely.

Our players and manager need and deserve support right now. Compare and contrast our Club with say Wrexham. Owners with clear direction, ambition and a hands on approach with a connection to the supporters.

There are two sides to every story and the truth is somewhere in the middle. It's not unusual to here only one side and form an opinion. That said I wish that he had been with us this season.

I can understand wanting to sign players we can develop and sell on in a few seasons for a profit. But you also need to blend that youth with 2 or 3 older heads with experience

Quite right Keith.
His wage demands were far too high.

It’s quite simple he was told he wouldn’t get those wages at 29 years of age.
It’s a half truth he speaks 🤔

I take anything Martin tells people with a rather large pinch of salt.

However, 5 figures a week for an ageing right back is probably too much regardless. Especially when we have a manager with a penchant for wasting millions elsewhere.

After Sorinola signing it makes Christie look like Cafu.

Even when you know, you never know?

I wouldn't call 29 ageing, not in todays game. There are a lot of players over 30 still tearing it up and Christie would have been much better than Sorrynola, as we see every time Sorinola plays.

Exactly he is on a ridiculously good wage at Hull, wouldve been up there as our top earner.
It makes sense that he would say it was just down to his age rather than a pretty exorbitant wage demand.

Board did the right thing in my opinion.

And look where we are.

Sometimes you have to look at the total cost, including transfer fees ect.

Big wage, signing on fee, 3 year deal minumum (could he do 3 good years), zero resale value.
To me it's just not a sensible transfer.

He signed a 2 year deal at Hull not 3.

As for his signing on fee, I believed it was nothing hence his high wages. As I said you need to look at the total cost.

With footballers its all about the money. When they speak its not about the money but the beach and the family. I do not know why people ever believe what footballer tell them. "Match what Hull are offering I and I will come". No chance.

Its bout recruitment and Martins s recruitment has been very poor.

29 about to turn 30 (is now 30) is absolutely “ageing” for a full back.

I can’t think of too many 30+ year old full backs tearing it up at any level. It’s a young man’s positions which focuses on pace and power, something that declines at a massive rate when in your 30’s.

Stuart Dallas for Leeds is the only one that springs to mind, but they aren’t anywhere near the same class.

Keith you can't be naive enough to think that the clubs owners speak the truth and nothing but the truth, I know you don't really believe that, but these owners dear me next level my hairy arse.

When Christie was on his A game he was great, but he was on his A game very infrequently in my opinion.
