Macclesfield 1 Swansea 0

When asked what would happen if another club showed and interest in him, Swansea boss Kenny Jackett said: “That’s a toughh question. We’d have to cross that bridge when we came to it.

“I have spoken to Roberto at length about the situation but I would say that his attitude in training has been first clas.. It’s what I expected from him.”

Ex-Wales defender Jackett sees £2,500 a week Martinez, a man signed from Walsall by former chief Brian Flynn as a central midfield players.

And he’s selecting converted destroyer Kris O’Leary plus pint sized Leon Britton ahead of him.

Downcast Spanish star Martinez was unwilling to fan his fury last night and vowed to fight on saying “Leaving would be easy but I’m no coward.

“I made the decision to come to Swansea and I love the place.

“I’m not prepared to just give up. I need to concentrate on my football now so I don’t want to talk any more about my personal disappointment.”

The first 45 minutes cried out for his experience as the Swans struggled with a three-pronged centre back system.

But in a sterling revival after the break, old warhorse Kevin Nugent and O’Leary troubled Macclesfield’s veteran goalkeeper Alan Fettis.

And Jackett insisted “There are a lot of goals to come from my side. We dominated the play in the second half but I was frustrated because we didn’t get the goal we deserved.
