Apology not accepted he was an absolute fucking disgrace for a International/EPL defender.
It’s telling he is seen as amongst our worst EVER signings regardless of era or banter years.
You never called him back because your board were sellling an asset you thought wasn’t good enough but still found time to air your dirty laundry in public.
Get fucked ya wankstain, poor boy will likely NEVER have a club the size of Rangers interested in him ever again

Folk messaging him on LinkedIn, what a red neck that is for them

Absolutely, weird behaviour for anyone to message a football manager like that.

Or for a manager to validate them from a job message board message

This is what many tend to forget when looking back at ex-players like Martin -- they didn't pick themselves to play.
It was the manager(s) who did that.

So Martin is blaming American owners of Swansea
Is Whittaker contract up soon?
hopefully still sign him in summer

Yet he was happy to speak publicly about private bids? He knew, now he has a talent who no doubt has zero respect for his
man management, will be a depreciating asset playing reserve team football when he should’ve been tearing it up at Plymouth or better yet playing and developing under Beale

Fs mate, lighten up. He may have been poor, but he still wore our jersey.
We must be the worst set of fans for abusing ex players. Can understand if a player talked badly of the club when away, but a good proportion seem to get it.
He wasn’t nearly as good as crap

Crap? He was nowhere near as good as that.

No point moaning at him he seems to have no power at Swansea. They have been a basket club since they got American investors.

To be honest, he was a lot rse than crap
Martin was godawful but messaging a football manager on LinkedIn greeting about transfers is the kind of unhinged lunacy befitting the shark throwing tramps from the Crime Scene.
1/100 that the messenger is a regular contributer to the FF Facebook page and an avid follower of the Seafarer on twitter.

I'm not he saying he didn't handle the entire thing abysmally once it landed on his doorstep, as clearly he did. I'm saying the situation wasn't created by or ultimately decided by him in terms of recalling him, valuing him and choosing to reject bids. He's been left to carry the can and deal with the aftermath.

If he did he goes way up in my estimation.No way did he say "sorry I was crap at your club" surely
Because 'crap' is putting it incredibly mildly.

Nice to see a bit of humour. Still think its mental folk were contacting him about it though. I cant see Swanseas transfer policy being shaped by "staunch1690" on linked in or twitter.

It looks like the club are playing silly buggers with the lad, not sure what their end game is, but clearly the manager is not involved.

I have nothing personal against Russel Martin, he tried his best, he was just shite.
At least he actually knows he was. He was bang average even at his best, and we got him when his legs had gone.

Crap actually surves a purope, agriculturally.
This guy was just plain useless.

Seems like the clubs owners have done Whittaker dirty.
Martin wasn't asking for him back.
Their board have then wanted too much for him.
So Whittaker is basically stuck in a situation were his manager didn't desperately want him back and didn't get his move.
Surely they'd have been better trying to send him back to Plymouth for the rest of the season.

Martin wasn’t costing 20k every time he played.
He probably cost us more in shite performances.
