Another day and another loss for the Swans but tongues were wagging amongst the fanbase at the sight of one of the club’s owners at The Den this evening.<\/p>\n
Steve Kaplan, the very much unseen American, was in attendance as Swansea lost 2-1 against Gary Rowett’s Millwall and perhaps he was there for a reason? And not the lovely burgers either.<\/p>\n
It’s been fairly apparent for some time that Russell Martin’s time has been up at the club with speculation that perhaps he will remain in place until the summer before a full review of his position.<\/p>\n
But with the team’s predicament looking all the more precarious by the week (now down to an eight point gap to the bottom three) there is perhaps some urgency that a decision needs to be made sooner rather than later.<\/p>\n
Indeed 3 wins in 23 games is enough for any manager to get the sack – perhaps the Americans owners have now decided that his time is up?<\/p>\n
Kaplan hasn’t attended a Swansea match for over two years and resigned as a director in 2020 but still retains his stake in the club and is known to be one of the main decisions makers alongside Jason Levein and Jake Silverstein.<\/p>\n
