Shock announcement that Martin has left

[Londonlisa2001]

The club have announced that Russell Martin has gone to Southampton!!

Anyone heard anything about this at all?

Wow.

 

[Muteswan]

News to me.

 

[Londonlisa2001]

I can’t believe that no whisper of this has got out in advance.

Kept very much under wraps. Shocked

Hadn't even been mentioned anywhere as far as I can recall, was looking forward to the process maturing next season.

In all seriousness, the club announcement speaks volumes doesn’t it in terms of tone.

Good luck to him - it’s what he’s been working towards all the time he’s been with us. Personal advancement.

I’m sure he hoped he’d advance a little more quickly than a team in the same division but an advancement it is at the moment. Be interesting to see how he gets on.

F*ck him!

He has his fans but I never was convinced so I'm happy for a reset

I’ve seen some messages on Twitter that genuinely make me wonder if people are watching the same team.

The double over Cardiff twice was great, but there are some that seem to think that’s all that’s important.

It’s difficult to think of any area of genuine advancement that has happened during his two years. I can’t remember a manager who was so overrated by some fans.

I’m genuinely pleased he’s gone.I assumed we’d end up having to sack him.

Next.

Onto the next chap, who some people will fall in love with, some will hate. They'll either be sacked, or move on to a bigger / better club.

Rinse and repeat.

The King is dead, long live the King.

It certainly does speak volumes. Where's the usual part of any statement thanking a departing manager and mentioning some of his successes?

It does thank him.
