Don't think that many saw this one coming and not a great record at Swansea City.

Is that the same Russell Martin that always scored against us for Derby?

Nope, Russell is the former Norwich centre half and captain. Born and bred Brightonian, and alma mater of Varndean school.
He has been linked with the French Ligue one, OGC Nice mangers Job.If that is true or not I don’t know.

I’d 100% take the Nice job over Leicester
I think it would be a good move for him. A complete new start in a nice (no pun intended) place. if he does well with them he could qualify for European Football.

It won’t be. As if this morning, Saints hadn’t yet approached Swansea for permission to speak to RM.

He has a decent record and is a bit Potter like, in that he is interested in playing nice football, and is a "process" manager. He knows the division and has performed just above budgetary expectations mostly, so if Saints are one of the better off sides, and they should be, he has a fair chance of bringing them back up, but maybe 2nd season if he can't get the squad sorted in the summer window.
