To some of my fellow Swan fans ( of the begrudging variety ) , who were having their premature laugh at Martinez's fall from the Premier League , put that in your pipe & smoke it

I guarrentee you , Roberto will be cheering us on & wanting to play us next season also Mr. . I think he knows most Swan fans appreciate his input as we prepare for Monday .
Mabon - Jacks that still hold a grudge towards Bobby are lower than he was at the time. Roberto was the main instigator into the football we play today. If it wasn't for him, would we be where we are now? He got offered a job in the Premier League with a club he holds close. He went. He took a player that is now past it for ã2million pounds and a player that didn't even belong to us. Admittadely he **** on us by taking some staff members, but that's football. If they were still here, would the boys be as fit, would Scotty be here, would Borini? I think each and every Jack needs to take a good look at what Roberto really brought to this club, because it's a damn sight more than what he took from it. Roberto - You'll always be a legend to me mate!
Well to be honest he did us a favour leaving, as things turned out, and his football legacy still lives on at the club, and long may that continue, but it is a fact that amongst the great majority of fans, his rating is Zero as Mobon has said, which I understand but some of us have moved on, and have no ill will towards Bobby Brown Shoes, though if he had been relagated, I would have laughed my socks off, but as it is, we get to play them next season, well after the little matter of Reading!............... please log in to view this image
Jackash I tend to agree with your summary in your last post, i too have moved on but all i am saying is that based on my recollection of discussions i have had with many of our fans, the mention of bobby's name still brings a negative response and a lot of unsavoury name calling from them Personally he is history but a lot will not forget those immortal words" they will have to boot me out of swansea city" which is the memory a lot of our fans remember.
I'm sure at one time Roberto cared what some Swan fans thought of him , I assume he couldn't care less anymore . Remember , he was there when fans booed the likes of Scotland , Gower & especially his special greeting in Wigan from a chosen few . He knows what he's dealing with with a section of Swan fans & considers the source of the boos & frankly feels sorry for them more than anything really .
Mab - Agree with you. Sadly, there will always be some fans that will hold a grudge/ill will against him which is sad really. He did a lot for the club, and I think he needs to be held in a little high regard. I was as angry as the next person when he did what he did, but then you have to remember that this is football and it happens to every club, some more than others.
Well with Wigan staying clear of the trap door by the skin of they're teeth, playing them next season will have that extra bit of spice, that's if we go up of course!............... please log in to view this image
