    Luka Modric new minority owner?

    Nothing wrong with showing off the trophy, and nothing wrong with enjoying it, but Laudrup stood there with a fixed, deeply uncomfortable smile on his face, like a man who felt himself a god landed amongst the trolls. He knew how these things should feel, and it was a million miles short. I...

    Luka Modric new minority owner?

    To those who complained about the Au Vodka contract and that the club gets nothing out of it - yes it does. I think this is all part a of brand shift that was clearly needed after relegation. Martin I think was supposed to be part of it, right image, good manner, good hair, but he couldn't win...

    Season 24/25 | The Official Match Thread | Sunderland 0 Swansea City 1 | Att: 42,263 | The EFL Championship

    Plus, "Liberty" was a much better name. A very good name in fact.

    New Manager

    I doubt that Leicester will take him, his win percentage and points won were terrible here and not stunning at Soton. He did sort of OK at Soton until Troy Deeney left, then slipped out of the automatics and only just got up to the Prem. He believes he is very clever, believes he has deep...

    Alan Sheehan-Manager for Next Season

    Exactly. I increasingly feel that they will have to do very well to get someone better than how Sheehan is doing atm. There is a big risk that they'll get someone from Europe, who looks just great on paper, his team look great on youtube, all the usual suspect are besides themselves with...

    New Manager

    He was condemned to death by drinking Hemlock, inducing progressive paralysis until it gets to the heart - so no spinning possible. When I was a student 'the socialist dialectic' always had to be mentioned by some blokes when in the company of girls, so it's a word I always use frivolously.

    I was using Socrates' dialectical method, which is a type of reductio ad absurdam. That is to say, whoosh.

    New Manager

    Sheehan was given a tricky hand to play. Soton got rid of Martin back in December, but the new guy still hasn't managed to eliminate the instinctive response of "pass it back to the back line so the opposition can score". Martinball is a chronic disease that hides in the crevices of the club...

    Relegation Update

    I am conflicted. I don't want to see any Welsh team get relegated, and I don't want to see the team in the capital go down, because its the Welsh capital. But ... but I do enjoy more than a little schadenfreude when Cardiff lose and relegation would be just oh so funny. I have a solution, chuck...

    Season 24/25| The Official Match Thread | Watford 1 Swansea City 0 | Att: 16,739 | The EFL Championship

    Exactly, 1/4 second more time and he puts it past the keeper. I think he'll get that.

    Season 24/25| The Official Match Thread | Watford 1 Swansea City 0 | Att: 16,739 | The EFL Championship

    I'm not happy to see Harris injured, not at all, but he is a loan, and given that the team is suddenly in 'push on' mode it is an opportunity to develop one of our own players. Vipotnik is suddenly getting into good positions and receiving the ball, being part of switching sides in front of...

    New Manager

    Spain have given up trying to make 'keep it on the floor' football work, so has everyone else who actually wins. The counters are simple, easy and well known. You can keep it on the floor for long periods, but you have to be prepared to chip and use movement. That's what Laudrup did when he was...

    New Manager

    He wants to manage a team. If does well in the last 10 and Swansea don't keep him on, he will go elsewhere, as a manager who now has 'EPL credentials'. I dread the Board bringing in a new wunderkind who rapidly finds that the team can't play his system and retreats into a defensive borefest of...

    Michael Duff Sacked ...

    How do you know he got a pay-off? He may have fallen foul of performance measures and got very little.

    New Manager

    I liked what Sheehan did last time he was in charge, I think he was the best of the last four managers, a view reinforced by Saturday. My fear is that the Board will get the guy 'they really want' who will turn out to be yet another Messiah with a system who plays lots of players out of position...
