Martinez: Graeme Jones won’t join Swansea – He is fully focussed on Everton
Former Swansea manager Roberto Martinez has dismissed speculation that his number 2 at Everton will join Swansea City as their new manager despite a heap of press reports linking him with the role.
Martinez and Jones were at Swansea and helped to transform the club years ago and over the last few days Swansea City sacked their manager Michael Laudrup prompting reports that Jones would be approached, but Martinez says that Jones is fully focussed on Everton and is getting on with his job.
He said: “It’s nothing new. Graeme and I have been working together since 2007 and it’s good when you get those links because it means people still remember the work that you did at a previous club.
“But Graeme is fully focused at Everton and it’s not even a question.
“The only thing that matters is the results at Everton and there’s not going to be any changes in that respect.”

Bit of a change from the ex Preston NE staff who moved on pretty sharpish when offered the chance.
