A P45 is a contract of sorts with the government right?

The "bigger picture" he mentions is that he's the 4th longest-serving manager in the division but we've made little to no progress towards his fairy tale vision since the first international break in September 2021. Three of our last 4 wins have come against 10 men. Less than a point per game since October. Managers frequently get sacked with better form in this division, and yet he's being asked about a new deal by his media mates?

I hope the club are lining up his replacement already. Once we get to safety, send Russ on his way and let the new manager have a few games at tail end of season to look at the squad before the summer.
We can hit the transfer window and next season running then.

 

[BlasterJack]

The million dollar question though..... who's to replace him?

 

[Nocountryforoldjack]

Best manager in the league is a no brainer right

The media are being very soft on him, especially given the form the team is in. I wonder what they get in return?

I also wonder if it's a coincidence that a lot of the stories leaked out of the club tend to either deflect the blame from his actions or provide him with excuses.

 

[CurtessECarr]

Bit confused with him saying if we keep improving.
That seems to indicate we are getting better.
I wouldn't even say we've stagnated.
So where have we improved? Anyone help here?

What's since 73?

The last time I saw a game live.

Figures.

Unfortunately they won't sack him so he can take his turgid football elsewhere.

 

[Swanjaxs]

He absolutely deserves a new contract, elsewhere...

For the first time in 20 years I haven’t renewed my season yet.
I just can’t bring myself to part with my money (just like the owners) to watch another season of this cr@p.
I’ve never missed so many games as I have this and last season, because of the walking football, comedy defending, and the general boredom of MARTINBALL
Russell Martin seems like a nice fella, but he is totally immersed in promoting his own agenda ie. Look at me, I can be the next Pep Guardiola, even though the players I have brought in, plus those in situ, don’t possess the skills to actually play that way. But hay ho, I’m going force them to pass it out from the keeper anyway, even in the most dangerous of situations.
I haven’t seen a poorer defensive unit in a Swans shirt, since Cussack was manager.
Considering RM was a centre back, how come he’s so poor at setting up a defence?
He just doesn’t learn from his mistakes, and for me personally, I’ve had enough of him.

The only positive hes given us are wins over the scum. Fair question would be.....if he hadn't would he still be here ?
