KeiranShikari 1,524 Posted May 1, 2022 Russell Martin and his Swansea team have been very comparable to Farke in his fist season here. Both in style and in ratio of wins, draws and losses. They have some good youngsters coming through too, expect them to be about the playoffs next season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lake district canary 4,836 Posted May 1, 2022 I just have that feeling things will go t*ts up with Martin. He divided fans when he was here, goodness knows what would happen if he came here and we had a difficult spell. Would rather anyone than Martin tbh. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

However, methinks a similar statement may be issued soon if / when Webber leaves.........'by mutual consent'. Adams would walk straight into said vacancy would he not??

However, Swansea fans are often far from thrilled with the style of football 'Russ' demands his team play. Indeed if you thought Farke's first season was boring as hell (which it was) then the ex Captain / Legend is even more obsessive in possession for possessions sake. Endlessly passing the ball along the back line for no apparent purpose. No pace in the team and little by way of cutting edge are also held up as examples of the managers current playing style. More than one Swan has described the type of football as 'euthanasia'!! Not sure I want to see that here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Worthy Nigelton 1,306 Posted May 2, 2022 MK Don's seem to have improved since he left. Swansea seem to be worse since he joined. There's two ways of looking at this, either a) he set a great foundation for MKD to build on and has a massive rebuild on his hands with Swansea, or b) he had a team that finished third in mid-table and a play off team in the bottom half. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OnDaBall 141 Posted May 2, 2022 I would say we are a club that should be appointing managers with more pedigree than Martin. So yeah nailed on he'll come here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Raptor 1,574 Posted May 2, 2022 Martin. Another classic case of being suggested because of the club connection rather than any merit. Warne is more intriguing. 3 promotions. And a cup (And yes 2 relegations) Rotherham are the Norwich of league one. No idea about the style of football they play. Or how he'd do with a bigger budget. He's also been there since 2016 which surprised me as I thought someone would've taken a punt on him. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Swansea may well be worse since he joined but that will be largely down to significant cost and squad cutting necessitated by the loss of parachute payments.

king canary 8,763 Posted May 2, 2022 Also, I don't hugely want Martin in charge but it's worth remembering that sometimes getting the right manager with the right style in to a club can be more important than that managers previous results. Both Graham Potter and Steve Cooper failed to get Swansea promoted but both have shown they are very good managers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
