I feel like there is a slight difference between people like Davies and Eustace and appointing Matos. Both of the former had been assistant managers at similar levels to where we were/are. Matos only has a few months experience as a no.2 at Salzburg which didn’t go well (which wouldn’t have been his fault). Plus he’s only been a manager for a few months.

I have to say I don’t quite understand the thinking behind this appointment now that it looks like it’s happening. I was trying to be positive yesterday but there’s not escaping that this is such a huge risk.

All we can do is be hopeful about his appointment but can see why some are concerned. It is all a lottery at the end of the day though, Matos could turn out to be the new Klopp.

I'd take 50m for him right now

Or pesos, we can take them down the post office and get them changed

There's a Portugese post online this morning saying Matos' release clause is £1m.
Significantly more than Hellberg would have cost...
I hope the club know what they're doing.

If this is true it defies belief. The cheap option quickly becoming the expensive option.

Earlier in the season, yes. I think Birmingham have picked up recently though. The one I lament the most is Eustace, proven himself as a good manager at this level, although yet to challenge near the top, that’s mostly because he was bizarrely sacked by Birmingham and seems like he’s in a different job every season.

Eustace is a bit meh for me, think there is better out there.

in terms of Davies, he did come across in the series on Amazon as bit of a dick.

 

[Smurph]

Not at all. People massively overreacted to a couple of weeks of mixed results. They have looked like one of the better teams in the league this season as time goes on and he coached them to a dominant league win last year. They have resources and good players but there are no real signs of him being anything other than a competent coach and we have seen many coaches do poorly with good players and resources before. The expectation that they would come up and steamroller the league was a little unrealistic. According to xG they have the 4th best attack and and best defence. I do not know if he would have succeeded here because of the state of us and our players but he has not failed for us to act like we had a lucky escape.

Last season doesn't really come in to for me, they had the biggest budget in that league and met expectations.

What do you mean by the state of us and our players? We've underachieved massively this season, the playing squad is good enough to compete at the higher end of the league.

Of the pitch we're more organised than we've been for the best part of a decade.

Take away from the fact he's had a huge budget to play with at Brum, he comes across as bit of dick.

Vital implying on Twitter that the release clause is way off the quoted £1m

Aye, it's €1000,000, which is £881,000.

Seems to me we have quite rich owners and a couple of celebrities trying to raise the profile of the Swans, but the people in charge of the footballing side of the club are as clueless as they have ever been. Hope they make the right call on this, it's a massive decision.
