Whatever happened in the close season Vip knew there was serious interest and a large transfer fee in Monty bringing in a striker(Kone). I have no doubt however that not only has Vip knuckled down,, realised that Cullen was the only striker between him and a regular place, and upped his game the...

Not sure if you are right regarding cup games being included in the season ticket. I can't remember any season when it happened, and what about the percentage a visiting team takes from the official attendance. FA Cup ties see both teams taking 40/45% each with the remainder going to the FA...

If my memory serves me right he wasn't that popular as he very rarely came off his line when defending set pieces. Having said that, for some reason fans didn't like Jason Scotland. 53 league and cup goals in two seasons. Hmm

wOne of a number of players spotted by scout Kevin Reeves playing in Scotland who once he settled in at Swansea became a fans' favourite, barking out orders like a Walrus behind a steady defensive back row governed by Ash Williams. The one aspect of his game he failed to conquer whilst playing...

I would have thought that any footballer of the calibre as Hull's Giles for producing telling crosses into our penalty are would have come under far more scrutiny than what we gave him. There's tucking in, but to continually leave one defender on his own and inviting the opposition to switch the...

That challenge was just one of many that referee Webb failed to give while the blatant shirt pull on Ronald in injury time turned the game and led to Hull's equaliser. Sheahan is the ultimate backstop when it comes to criticism but for me the enormous change in the squad need time to gel...

Is it a coincidence that Ronald's form in front of goal from playing a more central role is to the detriment of him forgoing the defensive side of his game which at times last season he was called by some fans to replace Key at right full back. Four times I counted in the first half Hull...

A lot going on behind the scenes between the manager and the owner and it was all a matter of time before he was axed. Nuno will get another job, the owner will employ a new head coach, life goes on at Forest until the next time Forest's owner throws his toys out of the pram when the club's head...

Could it be that the higher quality of midfield player brought in this summer is making Vip look like a better player. Even though Ronald has been here a tad longer the pass from Vip to set Ronald up for the second goal at Wednesday was something not seen last season.

It seems that Clement is a better number two than being in charge of the backroom staff. The warning signs came at Derby but we(Jenkins) chose to ignore them.

Buying Fairwood falls into line with what was mentioned some weeks back about the 18's and 21's moving from Landore and being integrated with the first team training at Landore, while the younger age group teams remain at Landore. Having said that, Fairwood as a playing complex has been in...

Improving the calibre of player recruited - higher wages Increasing the infrastructure for re-academy upgrade, possible move towards Cat 1 Increasing the amount of hospitality on offer on matchday. Renting out hotels / restaurants in the city

The position of the Swansea.com stadium is possibly in the wrong place and thank goodness the stadium wasn’t built on the old steelworks site at Velindre as there would be a huge drop of fans lost to the game if that area had been chosen. Having said that there is very little available sites in...

The main point in your reply is that if you link a generation to every 20 years you can see that from 1960 to present day approximately 4 generations have grown up to either follow or walk away to other interests, all through a combination of lack of finance at the club, no direction in the...

As much as accuracy can be gained from comparing the sizes of both cities – Norwich and Swansea, for me as far as football support is concerned the true comparison can only be seen when you look at both club’s playing history – what divisions they played in, especially from the period of post...

Based on the twelve years Tisdale was at Exeter he was much sought after and after joining MK Dons gained automatic promotion to League 1. After leaving the Dons following a bad run, he was at Bristol Rovers just three months after signing a two and half years contract. Following an advisory...

Paul Tisdale isn't a poor manager, he just stayed at Exeter too long. He was good enough for Huw Jenkins to try to get twice as our manager.

Regarding Dan's move to Man United, chairman at the time Trevor Birch, whatever fee was negotiated(£18M) it was paid in one instalment.

Progress for me will be a comfortable place in the top ten, where through continued, positive recruitment we can build the squad into a more formidable outfit. Having said that should we end the season in a Play Off place this season, naturally we would take it over two legs and on the day it...

The position of striker can be seen as the most difficult position in a team to obtain especially when finance is limited and almost every club is looking through the same data sheets, while as the window begins to close down the transfer fee, even for a loan player, begins to start rising. To...
