We all know it will happen again as long as these idiots are owning the club.

Spot on Keith. The truth will annoy some posters, but they need to see reality. Russell Martin is having to work with a hand behind his back.

Swansea Indepenent Poster Of The Year 2021. Dr P / Mart66 / Roathie / Parlay / E20/ Duffle was 2nd, but he is deluded and thinks in his little twisted brain that he won. Poor sod. We let him win this year, as he has cried for a whole year. His 14 usernames, bless his cotton socks.

I didn’t think we could criticise the owners so …. They are indeed incompetent and devious
Martin should have walked and straight into another job citing these clowns as the reason why we stagnate

The truth is


We look screwed

I have no doubt Martin had his hands tied regarding transfers.

As I posted in a thread earlier in the week my criticism is not that but the dour boring football he serves up.

For that he is totally culpable.

To recap:
Levien has blamed Winter (with Silverstein in the room and not disagreeing).
Martin has blamed Levien and absolved Winter, Silverstein and Kaplan of any responsibility.
Unless there's a boardroom coup and Levien is ousted, it's hard to see both Winter and Martin staying in post for much longer, surely?

Fair play to Martin, I questioned whether he'd be as bold in speaking to the media about his superiors as he has been about some of the players who he manages. He has been.

Were his comments driven by simple honesty and a desire to tell the truth about what went wrong in this window because he's so angry about it? Or is he positioning himself for the tap on the shoulder which he knew was coming anyway? And did any of those players who turned down offers decide not to accept because of what they had heard about Martin's management? We'll probably never know, but even if it's not what it seemed, hats off to Martin for putting his neck on the block and shouting 'swing away'.

Perhaps our Yanks should have been based in Swansea for the transfer window not playing on Zoom.

For the most part Martin has tied his own hand behind his back. Hiding behind ownership is a pathetic excuse.

Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back.

Yeah it's Martin's fault that no one has come in this window.

He was underperforming with the squad he had before the window opened, he will, in all likelihood, underperform with the squad he has now. The only players we've lost are the ones he didn't bother with anyway. The difference is now he and those who defend him will point to the window as some sort of excuse.

If we were playing well and there were obvious squad deficiencies keeping us out of the playoffs then maybe he'd have a point.

A good assessment which rempahasied what many have thought if not said during the yanks reign , as was stated we have seen it all before and I suspect and now concerned regardless of what said in the media this will be repeated .

He is.

But this window is a lovely excuse for his underachievement.

We've got average to poor owners and an average to poor manager.

For now he hasn’t underachieved, if league position is crucial he is in the ascendancy. Ninth on current form etc.

This ^

I think he's done well with the players at his disposal.

If he had been given the two or three players he wanted I think we would have a had a good crack at the play offs.

'Using the owners is a pathetic excuse' sorry I'm still laughing at that one 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Not a question of excuses Doc.
Had he been backed in the transfer window then it would have given a better chance of a top six finish and a crack at the playoffs.
For him to put himself and the entire staff in Swansea in the firing line in the interview shows how angry he was.
Whether you rate the manager or not, surely no one can defend the Yanks after this window ?

If you or anyone is laughing right now then they are not fans.
Any fan should be roundly rattled right now at what is going on.

Funny I bet you said the same thing last January & last summer.
Just give him more time, more money and more players etc.
Perhaps they are not prepared to sink even more money into a combination of management and players that they consider to be underperforming.
You must know the saying about throwing good money after bad?
And it is their money and their decision.
It may be the wrong decision, but it is still theirs to make.
