Yes, on June 14 or 15, when we are officially a Championship club, and we thereby save about £400k in compo we have to pay Swansea.

Amazing, wasting time for £450k. I know things are a lot tighter down in the depths we now find ourselves in, but surely he could have doing some work in that time? 1st game in just 8 weeks time! | ![](/images/avatars/1701.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Most players are on holiday and don't report back to training for about 10 days. So there would be very little he could do. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

It is a big if, as the signs for it happening aren’t filling many on here with hope. But if he does, we’re going to have to give sports republic /ankerson some credit for finally getting something right. | ![](/images/avatars/3750.gif) |

If he does, yes, I will be happy to. Right now, in my opinion, he looks a very poor choice and there are many better managers we could get. He's been poor to mediocre at both MK Dons and Swansea so I'd expect no better of him here. Let's hope I'm wrong. [Post edited 11 Jun 2023 14:56]

Russell Martin on 23:01 - Jun 14 with 4460 views | SFC_Referee | Tbf it’s hardly that wasted time seeing how many players we’ll be changing up, and how any that aren’t are almost certainly on holiday at the moment anyway. But still what is happening with Martins? As it was ages ago that we first heard about him, then everyone was saying it would happen like a fortnight ago, and now people were saying it’s gonna happen on the 14th or 15th… But seeing how todays the 14th and nothings been announced, what happens if nothing gets announced tomorrow? As unless we do get it confirmed tomorrow that he’s joining us then I’m really starting to wonder if we will be getting him in the first place and how long it’ll be until we move on? | ![](/images/avatars/29913.gif) |

"I’m really starting to wonder if we will be getting him in the first place" I can reassure you, Swansea don't want to keep him so he's definitely coming here. Who else would take him? | ![](/images/avatars/1800.gif) |

Russell Martin on 01:59 - Jun 15 with 4425 views | NYC_Saint | I still wonder if now Wilcox had joined, he's stalled it as he's not impressed. I know age isn't everything but the guy is 37 and, in theory, could still be playing. What experience does he have that leads anyone to think he'll get us back to the premier league? I struggle to see what he has done to wow the owners beyond sorting an excel spreadsheet of managers by the possession percentage column and picking the first one that isn't at a CL club and is cheap. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

I think most of us thought it would be announced the Monday after the season finished. Fixtures out next week. That'll focus their minds. | ![](/images/avatars/25869.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Swansea fans seem to be happy hes moving on Colin Monday, 19 June 2023, 9:04 At 09:04 From this Swans point of view I wish RM good luck but am not sorry to see him go He put us through a nightmare this season despite a strong finish which flatters to deceive the full picture . Tippy happy football offering no threat at the front and suicide football at the back. We move on to better things now Reply Tim Brown Monday, 19 June 2023, 9:15 At 09:15 Good luck to the fans in the South Coast! A man with “a big ego” and a man “who refuses to learn from his mistakes” is what they are getting! He also manipulates the media very well- well spoken and looks genuine! But he will drive you nuts with him thinking he is Guardiola and his team is MC! Reply | ![](/images/avatars/7061.gif) |
