Doesn’t take much to eek them out of the shadows. It’s a cult.

Pedersen was signed under Duff

Heavily pushed for by Sheehan at the time.

How much do you want to bet that Sheehan pushed for every bad signing that the club made while he was here, while he had nothing to do with any successful signing?

People like Yates and Big Myk were shit and not pushed by him in all fairness.

Exactly, all based on a dislike for man who only tried his best for the club.

What are you basing on all this on? Generally interested to know.

Not sure the link works but it says he pushed for Pedersen whilst assistant to Duff aswell as pushing for Idah and Stamenic whilst he was Manager.

We never gave Casey a run of games to see his potential. We was content though to see Key's form deteriorate instead.

Tales On Line, file under bullshit.

It's unacceptable that we went ahead with Benson deal with no cancelation clause in the contract considering his injury history.

I'm guessing he passed a medical when completing the loan deal. The problem we're having with him is a loss of form not injuries.

There’s a reason why Swansea City don’t employ a manager. It goes to player recruitment and the minimal say that the head coach has in player acquisitions.

Blaming the head coach for recruitment is nonsense. He is involved in identifying positions and the type of player that the squad needs and then the recruitment team take over.

Somebody put up a video of his goals at Burnley when we loaned him. I noticed the vast majority of goals featured him dropping his shoulder, coming inside the full-back and shooting from the edge of the area.

I didn't see him try that once in his limited appearances for us. Not sure if that's due to him having lost a step/confidence after injury or if the way we were playing didn't give him the opportunity (we hardly got the ball forward quickly most of the time). The fact Matos seems to want to use him even less than Sheehan did doesn't suggest he's shining on the training pitch however.

I would agree with you that we should have insisted on a cancellation clause as a condition of completing the loan.
