And now at Burnley has similar issues, unfit, not training properly. Etc. The words of his manager as well. I wish you all well 👠but you are going to have to be patient. Unless of course Martin ‘jacks’ in all his theories, training regimes etc and goes 442 wallop !

If that’s the type of player people want at their club then fair enough.
He was persistently late for training, refused to play, was caught time and time again making faces behind the managers back. Yes,a pillock. Must have that type of learned behaviour before he arrived. |

At 37 ?
My chips are lovely btw. Just offering our experience of two years with him. You won’t get a quick fix with him so I assume he will be sacked pretty quickly anyway. |

Possibly.
His brand of football is beyond question, when it works it’s so good to watch it’s incredible. When it doesn’t it’s a nightmare. He has taken 18 months to get things right at Swansea, had he stayed I genuinely think he could have taken the Swans back up. I think he’s learned a lot at Swansea, and won’t make the same errors he did in his early months after coming from MK Dons.
** You will recall Obafemi. Who left us with the reputation of being a right pillock. Martin has an intense way of training, what is called affective learning. He trains by emotions as well as the normal prescriptive way. He isolates people to learn from experience and asks them to transfer that emotion on to the football pitch to combat nerves etc. It does affect players in different ways, but the majority love him for it. And given a bit of time creates a real siege mentality and close group. Obafemi and one other were too thick to understand it. That’s why he will bring his back room team with him and want at least Matt Grimes and Joel Piroe as well. If Grimes does come he will make him captain for sure. I wouldn’t be surprised if out of contract Ryan Manning arrives with Joel Latibeaudiere too.
When it goes wrong, the excessive passing and messing about at the back you will be pulling your hair out. If you have any left. For most of us he is a solid and brilliant young manager who had the rug pulled from beneath him when our owners could smell compo, plus big bucks for Grimes and Piroe. That’s why he left, he had enough of their bullshit. Broken promises and being expected to win promotion on a shoestring. He will need some time though, and that’s the point, will you give it to him ? [Post edited 21 May 2023 16:27]
