Swansea City Rebuild Needs Time: Fan Pushes Back Against Sheehan Criticism

I'm not losing faith, far from it. Some of the greatest managers and coaches went through some very difficult times before finding the right formula that led to the followed up success. He's a young coach and he's finding the right blend and formula that will lead this club to succees. The problem is as I've said before that we want our football in a fast food style and if we don't get it then sack him. Want then happens is we go looking for a manager who is usual on the merry-go-round anyway to fix the problem. Guess what, you find the new guy is no better than the previous guy right? Right!

We are at the start of November and 5pts off the playoffs and you say the fans are losing faith. What is true is the fans are no longer listening to the media anymore because most of the stuff they realise is B.S. Most of the fans I interact with understand it doesn't happen over night and the media promotes and dictates what the fans want that is not actually true! You use the "fans" as Though "you are" speaking and representing all fans but that's how the media works and the fans know it. Hence, the fan media followers are dumping media input because they got wise to what they are up to. When I said media and are referring to all forms of media. The media have the right to report but honest reporting has gone down the toilet. When using headlines as though you speak on behave of all fans then you mislead them and are deluding yourself. The delusion here is "The fans are losing faith" but that is not the case. Yes a few grip and complain but that's because they are the experts and pay attention to the media. Most say they are fans, but the truth is, they are not but the just want to write a story. Often they create a division among the supporters that don't help the club at all. Managers and coaches and end up6on the merry-go-round because of a bias in the media reports! I'm all for those fans who are dumping social media and the media as a whole becausr they realise what the media do! The fans are not stupid but the media waves its magic wand and dictate what thing are or should be. The truth is, the media does more harm than good, or haven't you woken up to this global fact yet?! If you got nothing positive to say about the club as a whole then go and write about the government where there lots of negativity there you can dig out and guess what, you'll find its all true!!

Alright, alright, settle down. While I admire your unwavering optimism, painting a picture of some grand media conspiracy seems a tad dramatic, doesn't it? We're talking about football, not the Illuminati.

Sure, some managers take time to find their footing, and knee-jerk reactions are rarely the answer. But let's not pretend that patience is infinite, or that every "project" is destined for success. Five points off the playoffs in November is hardly cause for celebration; it's just clinging to mediocrity. And frankly, suggesting fans who express concern are just media puppets is pretty patronising. People are allowed to have their own opinions, you know.

Besides, dismissing all media as inherently biased and untrustworthy is a sweeping generalisation. There are plenty of reporters who strive for accuracy and fairness, even if they don't always paint a rosy picture. Maybe instead of accusing everyone of pushing an agenda, we could acknowledge that sometimes, the truth just isn't pretty.

After all, even the most skilled craftsman can’t polish a turd, no matter how long they’re given.

The point was the managerial merry-go-round doesn't solve the problem, it causes the problem because no one has patience anymore. Your concerns are noted and understandable, but it's evident from the general perspective you're not happy with the ways things are going right now. It's based on the Fast Food metaphor! Faith is really a long term discipline not short, sharp and wallah there you have it, It can't be microwaved! Any discipline especially when you starting off is touch and there to many in the world today who enjoy individuals fail. Me, I will have nothing to do with that! They wouldn't admit it of course but the media does nothing more than drag a person down. One good example is the News. 99% of it is bad news right (ask yourself, what does that do to the human spirit?) and at the end of the boardcast they say something like; "And Finally" Mrs Jones had 6 babies today blah blah blah! Basically, they are taking the P**s out of you, their adherers. The know (The illuminati as you say, who are not the real power player's by the way, and are just a tool used for the real puppet master's and power player's who stay well out of sight and away from public attention!) continuously hitting the masses with bad news does something unhealthy to the human spirit that manifests into the physical form of the body. It's no accidents I can assure you it was well planned using things like the 24/7 think tanks!

Fans around the world suffer from the knock on effect of the constant negativity they taking in on a daily bases. It's the same as the computing term, Garbage In, Garbage Out or GIGO. They fill the people wish garbage and the nature output is garbage but they don't see very often the good stuff input into their lives. You can give what you don't have. Meaning if the mass majority of your daily input is garbage then most of the time garbage comes out right! People want to let off steam and they will find a way to off load it. Like any pressure cooker it builds up pressure when the heat is on, if it's not let out it will explored! It has a valve on top to release the steam and built up pressure. This is what we are all see happening around us constantly and naturally the pressure is really high and the valve is being broken!

Remember, it was you who mention the illuminated. As for me, I have studied them as one does under a microscope. I know everything what makes tick and the fans; well they are just another obstacle that will be overcome. After all what the fans don't know are kept secret right, even though it's in plain sight!

I'm a fan like everyone else out there, I know what's going on in the world and why it's happening. My steam is my passion and understand why there is so much negativity in the world. I'm no different from any other fan but I just see things differently!!!

Having spent a bit in the summer I'm sure that the owners want to see an improvement overall.
I'd be very surprised if they're of a mind to change the manager before the end of the season when they can properly assess the situation unless we're threatened with relegation.
Changing now would mean paying off Sheehan and his coaching team for the remainder of their contracts and finding a new manager who would bring in his coaching team.
That's an expensive change when there's plenty of time to see whether Sheehan can produce the improvement that would be considered acceptable. You would hope that the summer recruits will improve as the season wears on as they gel into the team we all hope to see and Sheehan finds the formation to get the best out of them.
