adkins was in charge for some of the games olallana listed. Chelsea away for example.

I fully agree with that. We are exactly where I predicted we'd be and I'm delighted with that however the OP makes a valid point. Who long will Cortese allow the run to go on for? I'm pretty sure he'd have expected to do better than we have recently.

Usual stuff on here mate, players have their best games when they don't play.

We beat both Chelsea and Man City last season, I'm sure Cortese will be wondering now we've got rid of the clueless Bumpkin and replaced him with the New Mourinho as well as improved the squad we have done worse than in the corresponding fixtures recently.

I'm not annoyed, we are where I thought we'd be. The ones who are annoyed are the ones who proclaimed it was 'champions league or nothing'

So Adkins was 'rotten' was he?

Yes we have, but as per my post above, I wonder if Cortese will look at the recent run and be asking questions, given his ruthless nature we all laud.

Yep, agree with that, but given what Cortese has said and done in the past you make a fair point.

Eh? We didn't finish bottom of the league last season, unless I'm missing something?

Of the fixtures you listed, we have done worse than we did last season. I thought that was fairly obvious.

So you think when Cortese signed £35m worth of cheques in the summer he expected us to do worse?

Well considering last season we won 2 of those games and drew another and have invested £35m since then I would suggest Cortese would have expected to improve on that, wouldn't you?

And the bigger picture is we've won one game in 9 with basically the same team Adkins had.

Ignore the trolls pal, its a valid point.

I know English isn't your first language but how else can you interpret someone saying 'I don't want to wait to lose 5 matches, I do it before than happens'

He's saying he'd do it before that happened, clearly. The manager wouldn't get the chance to lose 5 in a row.

Lost 3 of our last 4 and one win in 9 now.

Why are you mentioning Wanyama? Your target of 6th-9th was set before he was here. Surely with him, Lovren and Osvaldo we should be targeting even higher? 6th-9th with last seasons squad was a realistic target, your words, no one else's. We currently sit bottom of your realistic target placing set for last seasons squad. You must be very, very disappointed.

'Champions league or nothing' Talk of Swansea dull and hollow season for 9th place finish and league cup win As well as of course the constant insistence that this was the season we take our rightful and inevitable place in the top 6 before pushing on to greater things next Those have been my highlights over the past few months. Not to mention the vitriol aimed at anyone who suggested that this wouldn't happen.

Oh no NIckG!! The OP said 'what is your personal view' so therefore your view, not Cortese is last seasons squad was good enough to finish higher than this seasons squad currently are. You must be furious at the way things are going.

Nick G will be. We currently sit bottom of his realistic target for this season prediction based on the squad before we signed Lovren, Wanyama and Osvaldo. He must be very disappointed.

I didn't, quite a few did and I for loads of abuse for pointing out they were wrong.

The cult of cortese, yes?

He dedicated this thread to me, see the OP. It's only right he gets it back. Who was right?
