Swansea staffers supporting Russ. Is this healthy? 19:08 - May 28 with 4966 views | ReslovenSwan1 | This clip was taken from WoL "Staff show support for Martin Swansea City staff members travelled to Wembley to show their support to former boss Russell Martin. Martin oversaw a 1-0 win for his Southampton side, a victory that made him a Premier League manager for the first time". This would absolutely infuriate me if I was Coleman. The club is having to sue him to get fair compensation and he has already taken a number of valued backroom staff. Are there concerns over "split loyalties"? | |

In this case it is loyalty to brand Martin. If he has given free tickets to minimum wage people staff then it is probably nothing to be concerned about. The guy that cleaned his car orr took it to the car wash for example. | |

Hope you are fully recovered & ready to go again. Try not to get too involved with the wind-up merchants & condescending types, we all know who they are | | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

How can I criticise the Trust after that circa £2000 job they did on the entrance to the Vetch allotment. The transfer rumour page is talking about the legacy of Rory Gallagher. | |

I am not sure the congratulations Russell Martin threads would have been started if Martin had joined the Basseys. Hope he ploughed some money into your charity as I’d be amazed if your reasons for praising Martin were football related. | | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Some were very cutting, but not personal viewpoints on him, but on his tactics etc. He gave me nothing for the charity, ever. What people can do is donate to the brain tumour charity of their own volition. That way I can’t be accused of being biased, bit of a low baller that. | |

As I am sure you are aware I have donated to your very special charity (which is also close to my heart) I can’t believe people believe Martin did a good job for Swansea | | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

As Coleman would tell you " there is no free lunch". If it was his driver or the cleaners it would be honourable and good. A gesture of kindness and well reviewed. I would not see this as charity at all simply a gift for " going the extra mile" where previously unrewarded. | |

If he were giving them to cleaners because they were his closest friends whilst here, that’s totally different. | |

He gets 20 tickets does he give them to football people or ordinary workers.? One is networking one is a gift for staff that treated him well. Neither is charity. | |
