Russell Martin on joining Swansea City | Interview

[@kh7972]

Exactly the man we need at this club, give him time and Im sure we will be playing well and playing the Swansea way again!!

[@amylouiseclement]

The Swansea gear really suits him. Welcome Russell!!!!!

[@johnstaffyOTBC]

Good appointment! Will be a great coach for you… hope you get promoted this season with him ! The Norfolk Cafu … he’s Russell Martin the Norfolk Cafu! Met him personally on many occasions a top man good luck to him !! 👍🏻

[@jonclarke3681]

Excellent appointment. Very positive interview. Mentioned all three of my favourite managers... Laudrup, Rogers and martinez.. Swansea way coming back!!!! Fingers crossed 🤞

[@REDDEVIL9269]

Mk Dons were a class team to watch last season he will get us playing good football soon enough

[@TheFobiano]

No bullshit, no nonsense! Straight to the point and honest from the get go - very refreshing! Short term pain for long term gain. Sounds good to me! 🔥⚪⚫

[@FruitFlyKilla]

After watching this interview and reading about his brand of football, I'm convinced he's the right man for the job and a good fit for the club. Let's just hope the yanks will actually give him some money to bring in a few players, I won't hold my breath though! Either way, welcome to Swansea, Russell!

[@PurpleBungalow]

Welcome Russell! My initial basic relief has turned into growing optimism, great interview. Now looking forward to the possibility of some good signings.......we'll see.

[@fractalofgod6324]

Impressive interview, got a good feeling about this appointment... For good sake just get is playing good attacking football so we can forget about Cooper ball. Welcome to Swansea amigo.

[@Ovcas]

While attractive football will be nice, the goal was to get promoted in fairness while at times it was boring to watch cooper did what was needed got the squad tougher and had us stop conceding stupid goals

[@fractalofgod6324]

[@dunchowells1217]

Welcome to Swansea City to you and your staff Russell👍 If you get the right backing and with your stance on how football should be played, the club, the fans, will enjoy this ride to success👍 We are a patient bunch, but will expect to see something this season. Good luck, one and all 👍🦢⚽️

[@steven78brown]

Hope he gets the financial backing to make him successful with us! Good luck russ

Haha no... Loans and frees I'm sure. Next step is protesting the owners. They've not financially backed any manager since we've been relegated...

For those jealous fans calling him a snake and not loyal he got offered an interview with another club but he rejected that interview and they are bigger club then Swansea so sit down shut up Ps I am loving the way we are playing now yes we finished 15 but he said from start it's not gunna happen on a quick fix watch this space this season we will see better side

[@celernthorpe9449]

Great appointment. Needs time to get his philosophies across. But confident within 2/3 years he could turn this into his own squad in the premier league. Could sit and listen to him speak about football all day. Uppaswans

[@lucasottoni9934]

Welcome, Russell!

[@XelaFinance]

As an MK fan I’m gutted to see him go, but then again numbers don’t lie. We played beautiful football but far too often we had all the ball and 1 or 2 shots on target at best and struggled to beat teams we should have rolled over. Will be interesting to see how he gets on and how long he lasts at the club. It’s amazing what money can do to a mans integrity.

[@ronniepickering2915]

Welcome russss

[@jonathanwordingham8307]

Have you got any decent players we can buy on the cheap? You can have some of our players on loan. Russ is a top bloke he will get you promoted.

He stabbed Paul Tisdale in the back to get the management job at Mkdons and then he stabbed Mkdons in the back to get this job. You have been warned

[@jonathanwordingham8307]

I thought someone offered him the jobs? I didn't realise he was that powerful to demand the jobs Daniel Farke must be worried.

[@stephenharriman9919]

@@jonathanwordingham8307 well it all depends on what you believe I guess. However what I will say is that he suddenly disappeared from the team selection, weeks leading up to his appointment. No mention of him at all in the press conferences and team news ,and then all of a sudden he becomes manager

[@jonathanwordingham8307]

Reminds me of how I became a warehouse manager the boss asked me if the manager just sat there all day (which he did) he told me he was getting rid of him and asked if I wanted the job with a pay increase or stay on my lower wages or get someone new in obviously I took the job i got on with the bloke it wasn't personal but he was lazy I done all the order picking he just sat there shuffling the paperwork and made me do all the work my boss also fired someone else as I could do his job as well . I did feel a bit shitty about the guy getting fired as he asked me if i knew I told him I knew but not that I was his replacement, at the time it was hard for me to get a job anybody else even footballers would do the same. If it makes you feel better my boss went bust. Been in my current job for 20 years now and have outlasted all the part timers as I seen them as a threat to my job so I work harder, only on minimum wage had better offers to do the same job but I'm loyal (to a degree as I quit a job to get this one) as my employer was good enough to give me the job if I took the other job it might only last a few weeks.
