The Lewis Capaldi documentary is brilliant and illuminating as well. Netflix I think.

I have never seen a greater 5 minute embodiment of ‘Swansea’ than Fiona last night. brilliant.

My tone wasn’t meant to be adversarial so apologies if it was read that way. I actually thought your post was an interesting starting point for a good debate on several issues. (My writing style is often far more brusque than intended. Decades of crafting legalise and financial documents...

He’s supposedly being brought in as right back. And they are an integral part of it.

We’ll have more coaches than National Express if we add any more…

No of course it doesn’t, but he hasn’t played as right back for ages. Hasn’t played at all for ages as it happens. So being quick would be a surprise. Agree re Santos.

Where to start with this to be honest, but just a few comments. There is no maximum permitted expenditure. There’s a rolling three year maximum permitted loss which excludes certain of the club’s costs. Increase income, increase expenditure, or don’t, but expenditure itself is not limited under...

But one of the reasons we’re looking to offload Santos (and we haven’t got rid of him as yet as far as we know), is because he’s too slow for the system we are trying to play. Ward is 6 years older than him.

He used to play right back as well. He doesn’t play anything at the moment as he’s been without a club since June and for the year before that he played twice. One of which was his ‘last appearance game’ as a send off. Far prefer us to play Parker or for that matter, bring back Lissah.

Then go with what we have. We have a lot of experience at the back. What we actually need is some creativity in midfield and up front.

“I’m not criticising them for spending, I’m very grateful to have seemingly increased our ambition under these owners”. Not one penny has been put into the club since they first bought out Levien and Kaplan and invested c. £20m between them all in November 2024 mind. So they are not spending...

He has played twice in 18 months! And why do you think he’ll be particularly affordable? After years in the premier league I can’t see why he’d bother travelling to Swansea from his home in London unless we’re paying him something more than peanuts. It’s the sort of signing everyone would be...

It doesn’t tick any boxes. Don’t be ridiculous.

What sad news. Always remember his time with us (the first spell) with great fondness. Similarly his time as Wales manager. Some brilliant memories with both under his management. RIP.

It’s hard to imagine a better fit for a high energy pressing game than a 36 year old player who hasn’t had a club for 6 months and played twice in the year before that! The only possible reason I can see for bringing him in is to allow us to play three at the back. Even then I don’t see why...

Most premier league managers are sacked from their jobs. Anyway, I’m not entering into another borefest with you. I see no reason for him to make stuff up. Given he’s managed Chelsea and West Ham he hardly needs to talk about us to raise his profile.

The only rational response of the UK government all of this is to rejoin the EU. The EU with the UK is a hugely powerful bloc. Over 500m of the richest people on earth and the purchasing power that brings or doesn’t should be a wake up call to the tech bros financing all of this shit from...

He’s managed big clubs since he left us and is currently an international manager. Hardly needs to talk about us to keep his name out there. Due diligence will get you so far but some stuff you’ll only find out after the event re details of clauses in contracts etc.

Something like that yes. As I said, he was one of the players that led for sod all. His non fire sale market value was way more than that. We’d paid £16m ish for him (which was, btw, ridiculous).

The two of them were well over £150k a week. Ayew alone was £90k ish. Insane. Plus we had Clucas, Mawson, Fab, Fernandez, Ki, etc etc etc all leave for sod all. And multiple players we had to loan out.
