Not sure why , he's not really achieved a lot but reputation before substance it seems to be the way forward |  |

Or Rodgers.
Looking at the recent history of Cardiff manager, it’s odd I don’t see anyone worthy. |  |

Martinez was fresh of breath air at the time , Martin is one of many playing "his way" | |

His primary aim was to get top two. He has predictably failed that. Ipswich with less resources has out performed SFC. Now he is faced with a likely shootout v Leeds or Leicester if IFC continue to impress. If he fails he starts with 0 points alongside side Luke and the boys. He does not seem to have left a great legacy at Swansea playing wise and there is still the compo issue. |  |

Does seem to start poorerly falls into a better system because of injury to players but reverts back to the way he thinks the way the game should be played, Luke doing the same? | | | |

Martin's way is not Martinez's way. Martinez's way was a lot more fun to watch, albeit also defensively naive for far too much of the time.
Martin's way more closely resembles early Rodgers with it's emphasis on possession above all. A lot of the Rodgers games were often dull to watch too, although we improved markedly for entertainment once he moved Dobbie and then in the second season Sigurdsson into the attacking midfield role. | |

As I get older my memory sometimes fails me but I can never remember Rodgers football being as Martin's.
My least favorite manager in many years of following the Swans. |  | | |

We could often be a bit boring to watch, especially when Brendan plumped for a Britton/Gower/Orlandi midfield. Leon was great but he couldn't carry two other players as well.
Plus it was all about having the ball. Do remember quotes about the team with most possession would generally end up winning, which is very Russy.
Overall it was better than Martinball for sure, but there was similar DNA there IMO. | |

Bradley was just hopelessly out of his depth. He shouldn't have been there. I can't hate him for it. Sousa I've always had a sneaking admiration for. The football was dull as hell, but he steadied the ship after Martinez left and wound Jenkins up regularly so he gets a pass from me.
Certainly agree on Flynn. Lazy, useless prat that he was. Him, Martin with probably about three or four others fighting for third place in my bottom three. | |

Bradley hopelessly out of his depth rings true with our current American senior management. The comparisons are similar for all to see arrogant, cocky and completely useless. | | | |

I do not subscribe this belief that football ability is related to citizenship. It is a warped and discriminatory way of thinking.
For total uselessness I refer you the Swansea city Supporters Trust to assess and they are Welsh. It took a "Yank" to dig them to of a deep hole. They won the lottery and ended up £400k out of pocket. (Their biggest ever investment. Twice what they invested in football). The "Yanks" generously covered their bills. They invest their cash like my long passed grandad did. 0% "in a box under the bed".
I have horrible suspicion that not only was Bradley short changed but Kristian Fletcher was too. He outperformed all of his teammates (some who are very very good) with a goal scoring record superior to McBurnie and was for an unknown reason deemed to have failed his trial and was sent home.
Swansea have a very poor record in identifying and developing forwards. That is why the club has Yates and Cullen. At least Cullen is non Cardiff Welsh.
I hope there are no small minds calling the shots in the club. | |

When the club decided Guidolin was going to leave - Jason should have listened to Huw J in October 2016.
Jenkins and co did well to get the club to change manager after that shambolic 4-1 home defeat to West Ham on Boxing Day 2016. | | | |

And there was me thinking that anyone with an ounce of sense can see that the American senior management, unexperienced in British football are way out of their depth. Then again if you don't have an ounce of sense only an agenda........ | | | |

Martin would be a good fit for Brighton if Southampton don’t go up. Hopefully they’ll go up with Leeds and Leicester though via play offs but it’s a lottery so anything is possible. | |
