Call Rob?

Sat Aug 20, 2022 5:11 pm

very interesting listening to the woes of Swansea fans about their club.... firstly all want martin to go
Ian Walsh wants owners to go but the main thing is fact no money to spend and the players brought in? Now we know city have no money either but morison appears to have made most of what money he had at his disposal and got in the right players for his style of play while martin looks like he's failed to do same... what is remarkable in this is fact martin was a league one manager whilst morison was basically a youth team coach albeit a good one.... anyway it makes good listening :D

I remember last season when Andy Legg and Joe Ledley were saying Cardiff need to be very careful about appointing SM because it was such a huge step up from Under23's to the Championship. Far better they said to go with a proven manager like Russell Martin :shock:

Football pundits what can you say. :lol: :lol: :lol:

So far too,SM hasn’t taken the mick with tan. He’s been cut throat culling the squad and shrewd with his essential signings.

The players seem to have bought in too. Long may it continue

What cant fathom is they said no money to buy players but didn't they get 9m from W.ham ? And spent 2.5m on a player ? Brought in total of 7 players they were 24yrs yrs..... and rest 21 or 22? Allen 34!! Martin it appears either didn't have money to get experience players or he ballsed up the transfer market? So looks like yanks screwing club and letting club rot because unless they do something they will be in relegation fight despite having perceived good strikers in team. As someone said they're trying to play like man c but without man c players in team.

Well guess morison knew the score with tan and responded accordingly with what he was allowed to do... we can argue all day about what 12 players cost the fact is morison was backed enough to get in experience and good youngsters... Swansea are in turmoil because they know no players coming in if Martin is to be believed.... but strong chance at least piro will go if not more before end of transfer window... ..

Too early to say they will be in a relegation fight. They were saying that this time last season but Martin turned it around.

Very true but according them they have a weaker squad than last season plus rumours several players could go before end of transfer window.... Problem they got is cant make their mind up how want to play? One minute its pass for pass sake then its play with intensity whilst keeping the passing game.... having
70%+ possession and no shot on target at home until 74th is not good... we have problem upfront but at least we got system that makes us hard to beat.. they've got strikers that should get goals but dont give them service... and their defence is porous a bad combination.

Martin as said needs to sell before can bring in players that is bad news to say the least considering their performances up to uptodate.... only couple players worth selling and that's the two fowards ands and couple of others ..
