Winnersaint Posted 20 December, 2017 Share Posted 20 December, 2017 I suppose in the minds of the 'special people' on here that pretty much condemns us to the Championship next year!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint-Fred Posted 20 December, 2017 Share Posted 20 December, 2017 Big task for whoever takes over. I assume they have made the move so the new guy gets the transfer window. I wonder if they already have someone lined up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eurosaint Posted 21 December, 2017 Share Posted 21 December, 2017 The football world has gone crazy, every team at the lower end panics, then changes - Swansea = 6 managers in 2 years and they are now worse than they were before ! There is very little evidence that constant sacking is better than stability and it is certainly much more costly ! Fans are now so negative that managers are given only a few matches before their status is questioned ! One guarantee is that 3 teams will go down this year and in all probability they will have suffered from managerial disruption ! The grass is always greener, eh ?

SKD Posted 21 December, 2017 Share Posted 21 December, 2017 Not great news for us - one of the few teams worse than us and probably the only team with a manager who is worse than ours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed - if and when they appoint Pulis they'll still have a good chance of surviving which removes one of the "dead certs for relegation". We need shot of Pell ASAP.

If it was your multi-million pound investment on the line, how edgy would you be right now? Would you be thinking, `we need stability and the grass isn't always greener. I am going to stick with this hand'? Or, would you be thinking `****, we are still bottom of the table and the £150m a season income we rely on to pay these players on long term contracts could disappear overnight leaving us with a huge back hole in our finances and the possibility that we then need to invest more money just to get back where we are, rather than make a profit from our initial investment'.

Saint Albert Posted 21 December, 2017 Share Posted 21 December, 2017 Koeman claimed a few weeks ago that he had offers right after leaving Everton but turned them down because he was still coming to terms with getting sacked.

Not exactly the most appealing of job offers. He'll hold out for a club in better position... Could see him at Newcastle if they stay up, have some money to spend and Rafa goes.

Saint Albert Posted 21 December, 2017 Share Posted 21 December, 2017 According to this, LVG was Swansea’s first choice, but he turned them down... http://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2017/12/21/swanseassearch-new-manager-already-hits-major-stumbling-block/ It does not sound like their manager search is going well.

Whether that is a negotiating stance of "tempt me, Swansea, make it worth my while" we will see. Agent hinted he was keen before MP Mark 1 (the talented one) left us and SFC job vacant. Can't see him fancying the job now though. Looks like LVG not keen and Bilic wanted a break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, if you were really wearing one of those 100 or so new owners shoes, what would you do? The fear of losing money is more likely to lead to bad decision making rather than good ! The chances of Swansea or WBA staying up, having changed manager is no better than Huddersfield or Bournemouth who probably won’t ! Last year Hull and Sunderland changed and both went down. The year before all 3 relegated teams, Villa, Norwich & Newcastle did the same ! Best recent example of stability is Burnley who even stuck with their boss after relegation! The only guarantee is that 3 teams will go down and more than likely some of them will have rolled the dice ! Clearly it is not an exact science but as I said before, there is no evidence that knee jerk reactions are of any benefit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stories about Paul Clement and that now infamous frying pan were completely blown out of proportion and I've heard from people at Swansea City that most of what was reported was absolute bull****.
