He has to be careful, but at least the oppostion know they are not going to have the freedom of the pitch.AS needs some of that to go to the next level.

I am pleasantly surprised, you are ging to support the manager.

I must have misunderstood the tone of your post UM.Im pleased that you will like myself will give him a bit of time.We are both sceptical but he was not making the poor tactical decisions Jan did and so we hope he will do enough.His interviews have impressed me, and the players showed unity yesterday andas i posted the other day, the mood inthe camp was good and they were talking tatics something that apparently didnt go on before

not the most cultured or skillful of players but he added a bite and desire that has been missing for so long.Given an extended run in the side and he will become a fans hero. Swansea were not allowed to play fancy dan stuff and he was also a minder for some of our lads.MY MotM

To be fair he was correct about last season.He woould be loyal to RL who has given him the job. The wording was not meant to be offensive to the fans(E£nglish is not his first language and his interpretation is not what ours may be) because if you listened to his interview after the game he praised the fans. Ump Im surprised you are trying to undermine him so quickly, i like yourself are not overewhelmed by him but he has already changed some things and the fight fire and desire are there. Give him 3 more games to give him a little slack.I understand you associate him with Lowe but dont be fooled by LC's cosying up to some on here.

Mixed feelings about it.The fans in general were normal football fans not the I want to get on the telly lot that these things normally bring out .LC using as a party political broadcast, and I saw Perry mcmillan at the front.I was told he doesnt go to games (apologies if my info is wrong) Wotte was correct in respect that RL was not at the club last year and we were alos in a terrible position.It was not aimed at the fans who were fantastic at the game and the only swing Lowe song was drowned out.And the normal fans starting them up ddint try so well done those.After the game fine in my book.

or its cat and mouse games to get Swansea to give a better offer.

Um you know my position on Jan and RL's ,mistake not ridding us of him earlier.NP may have done a better job,we will never know for sure.You and i have no access to detailed accounts of costs and where the money is being lost and so we are judgeing without knowing many of the full facts that have brought us to this position. NP would have been a better option from where we are standing and I do appreciate all the other factors, but without the facts we can only guess.the same goes for the banks, we as a nation dont know what is stored up until they come clean and tell us their toxic debt. Perhaps it is best we know neither.

Some of that is correct IMO, but you cannot just blame RL.There were a number of catastropic reasons.

You may say sensible people are happy clappies or Lowe luvvies but the majority of fans who go to games are out for entertainment.They dont want to listen to polititics it is a pastime.They rightly think that there is a time and place.The march and any protest should be IMO after the game not during.They have a right to protest but not a right to ruin other peoples entertainment that they have paid hard earned money to go and watch. I hope the march is successful and free from being hijacked by the more idiotic section of fans.

Is Smith our left back then? Rudi was only getting a game in that position. McLaggon will be a better asset in the long run.

Yes there was an in between position, something that you are re-nouned for Lol.

I thought you had gone, we were going to talk about you as you were away.

It is from that safe position you can shout and blather on. I am happy that the people on here can make their own minds up on what your position was when the club appointed NP from nowhere. Was it A) Alpine's laid back and wait and see what happens without comment B) Alpines outraged and anti club mantra. I vote that it was B ps the abuse you give me is so upsetting and so the mods should act. lol

if a couple of thousand turn up it will be of some use, if it is only a few hundred at best then it will be brushed off as a minority. I beleive that the removal of Jan will mean quite a few who would have gone and were only waverers will now not turn up and wait and see what transpires.At the end of the day it is hard for fans who love the club, then be part of something we all know in some way damages it.

Yeah but you know I dont mean it

No probs. No im not one for marches although I do understand why its being done.I have business committments and leave at the very last minute to get to the game.

Ooooooops, I think id better edit it

and we are in the position to get top players.You cut your cloth accordingly.To be fair the loans in the main in the last few seasons have done well for us.

I dont think it was a case of him losing the dressing room, not as far as my information anyway.

If we go down I will blame RL . not for trying the Dutch/youth experiment but not changing the manager sooner

but we all know what your non-plussed is and it isn't the dictionary definition. I think we should do a poll on how many think your non plussed would be. would it be, outraged constant derision to give the new man time or laid back and see what happens

That is fair.

Duncan that is a really good post from my perspective because it is balanced and fair.Too often in the past they have been so biased that they have been easy to dispell.I hope your reasoning and a real bit of balance is used tomorrow and not the hotheads who could ruin a decent well meaning protest.

The window closes on the 2nd of Feb I think, but of course we still can get loans in for a long time after that.So a new man would be able to get players in
