    Alan Sheehan-Manager for Next Season

    My rationale for offering him a 12-month rolling contract with a cast-iron guarantee of a return to his former role if it doesn't work out, rather than (say) three years from the off, was partly in the interests of mitigating the financial impact of yet another excessive compensation package (we...

    Alan Sheehan-Manager for Next Season

    OK maybe Cooper is a case of my hope overriding my experience! But Ginnelly was so impressive before his injury. It’s odd he’s not being given opportunities.

    Alan Sheehan-Manager for Next Season

    My view is that this squad has quite a lot of potential. Eom, Ronald, Franco, Cooper and Ginnelly in particular. Yes there are gaps. We need at least one 20-goal striker. Tymon and Key are weak defensively. We need to retain or replace O'Brien and we need at least one more CB. But Sheehan is...

    Alan Sheehan-Manager for Next Season

    Hence my suggestion on another thread that we give him a one-year rolling contract with a guaranteed option to return to his old job by mutual consent if it doesn't work out and some hefty penalty clauses for any clubs that decide to poach him. We've spent far too much on compensation for...

    Alan Sheehan-Manager for Next Season

    Well as I understood it, your post said that our players are not very good, Sheehan understands this and that's why he set them up to play "ugly" football against Derby. The Plymouth game showed that Sheehan is perfectly capable of setting his players up to play 'champagne football'. First...

    Bold post. Let’s see how it ages.

    New Manager

    I’d give him a one-year rolling contract, a guarantee that he can have his old job back any time he decides he’d rather do that and Alan Curtis’s kettle. Least he deserves. And plenty of exit routes for both parties if it doesn’t work out.

    So Sheehan has spoken: the tactics against Derby were deliberate. "I'd rather win ugly... than lose pretty". Those of us who said that was the case are not idiots after all! Personally I think it is refreshing to have a manager who tailors our play according to the opposition. It's arguable...

    I actually like Jay. He’s like a lazy street sweeper who’s been allowed to slack off for years by a poor boss and a complicit colleague. Still got something in the tank.

    My point was not to defend Sheehan’s tactics against Derby, but simply to argue that maybe there was method behind the boring madness.

    Season 24/25 | The Official Match Thread | Swansea City 1 Derby County 0 | Att: 16,501 | The EFL Championship

    Fair enough, and I respect that. But I think the consensus after the Derby game was that he set us up badly and only stumbled on a solution at the death. Looked to me like he deliberately parked the bus and then went for the jugular. You might not like that (not sure I do) but it worked and if...

    Maybe he’ll set us up more adventurously against Plymouth? Sounds like many posters have decided based on the Derby game that he is either a tactical idiot or Cooper Mk2. Maybe he’s just a pragmatist who cares more about winning than entertaining?

    Thanks Lisa. You don’t have to post on a site to read what people say there. But to help you here’s what Keith Haynes posted: “The way Stearman and Sheehan celebrated the goal with wagging fingers tells me that was another well planned strategy. It nearly worked a few minutes before.” Thanks...

    I see that Keith Haynes says the dugout did a finger-waving celebration when we took our goal, which he took as proof that they deliberately parked the bus before going for the win.

    Thanks for replying, even though you seem to have doubled down on the insult in the process… I’ve been reading your football reviews since the days of dial-up internet and I have the greatest respect for your footballing knowledge. It’s way above mine. I wasn’t at the game. I didn’t see what...
