he has been asked to play as an 8 which is not his position and it's no wonder he looks like a headless chicken because that is what our 8's are asked to do. Chase people down, work backwards and support the winger. The role the manager has them playing isn't to create, drive into the box or...

It is tactical, Sheehan explained it in the fans forum. My 12 year old pointed out the obvious risk of it and the response was that not many players had the quality to expose it.

Montague was lined up by Coleman months before. Williams was asked about it frequently by media. The dynamic before end of feb was Coleman, Cravatt and Cohen running things. This changed significantly in late February/early March with Coleman moving out and then essentially Cravatt and Cohen...

i saw a linkedin message from him earlier saying he had been dismissed too

I think it's fair to say that the takeover and immediate investment was the start of the dial moving but things seem to have really ramped up since the move to take Coleman out of chairman role. What we have seen since is the owners group taking full control and a real change in how the club...

That wasn't his role, it was the role of Gorringe to negotiate and get the deals done. Gorringe himself confirmed this

This is where the Trust needs to be much more active, they are the ones who should be pushing for far more local focus, protecting the interests of local supporters etc. Kits being out earlier would have been optimal but I’d imagine the snoop dogg alignment has delayed it a fair bit. The...

Agree with much of that, but no reason why you can’t maximise the value of local support base and tap into the more temporary international one. Influencer marketing exposure is incredibly valuable when you are looking for commercial partners, sponsors etc as it becomes all about reach. The...

My kids are 12 and 16 and they are going mad over it. I wouldn’t understimate his fame among the youth of today. The guy has 90 million Instagram followers 👀

The proof will always be in the pudding mate. But people will undervalue the importance of having people who genuinely care and are engaged. That in itself is a huge difference between these guys and Kaplan and Levien. We have to remember that the new ownership have only had control since end...

Not at all mate 👍

No, I agree with that. They’ve always said the door was open in fairness. Personally I was surprised by how willing they were and how much time and effort they were willing to invest in doing so. This was over 3 hours on a matchday

I probably won’t do a good job in capturing them but we pretty much covered every topic - Poor Communication - Transfer Window failing - Role of new D of F - poor standard of football being played - state of the pitch - credentials of Coleman to be where he is - Coleman’s salary - Ken Gude...

😂😉

For myself, I contacted Coleman to see if I could meet up with him. Another guy called Justin had done something similar and so he got us there the same time. From what I can gather Justin brought two others with him who were very critical on the Swans Facebook group ( Phil was one of those)
