I certainly didn’t want him and he’s doing absolutely nothing to win me over.
To me the damage is already done and the split is even bigger, particularly amongst those good honest soles that actually bother to go to games.
The fan base didn't want Aitor to leave. But he 'walked/stropped/quit' etc.
Who did you want to arrive? The guy that got fired from Fulham?
Martin's track record is 2nd to none over all the managers we've employed over the last 20 years and over all other potential candidates being considered at the time of his appointment.
Plenty of MoN fans doing the 'scarf' waving. Doesn't seem that split to me. Some wanted the Fulham guy. I don't think many felt we could get Martin (I didn't.) So it took me, and probably many, by surprise.
12-ish games. Do we really expect full flowing Swansea football after 12 games? Without 'his' team? Without a proper pre-season of recruitment.
We don't have the players to do what MoN or you or I want.
