    January Transfer Rumours

    That's my impression, it certainly looks like the players have lost interest in him.

    Season 24/25 | The Official Match Thread | Swansea City 0 Coventry City 2 | Att: 15,189 | The EFL Championship

    There must be a close understanding between the centre-backs and the keeper, especially when the ball is coming into the box. Used to be called the back triangle in my day. If you chop and change that personnel, you lose that understanding and sooner or later the opposition get a free pass in...

    I just hope we don't see Fulton brought in as a plug replacement for Grimes, and business as usual.

    Whatever your thoughts on Grimes….

    I think that with different instructions (OK, I think it would need some shouting, actually quite a lot of shouting) he could be a very useful player. When he does go forward he's pretty good, and if that became his mindset we would see results. However, the Board and whoever would have to make...

    If you could bring back one (or more) player(s)...

    He should do what Martin did when faced with the sack. Go off in a sulk and left Allen run the team (IMVHO). They'd actually play football and show what they got, instead of having to try and show what they haven't got.

    Williams is just getting desperate. But that doesn't extend to changing tactics.

    If Wilf v. 1 came back to this team he would be played at right back, Leon would be striker and Ash left wing. They would then be blamed for lack of passion. Agree with your list though. The essence of the "Swansea way" under Williams and Martin is to put players in the positions they are...

    Season 24/25 | The Official Match Thread | Norwich 5 Swansea 1 | The EFL Championship

    The central problem is that the team has become very predictable and very slow in development of play. Williams simply refuses to admit that his old fashioned tactics that are the problem, and is casting about hoping that by moving players to different positions he will unlock success. A...

    My apologies, I read your post and several others, worked out what I wanted to say, and then put the reply on the wrong post I think. I blame the whisky.

    Swansea City: Is time up for Luke Williams after dismal derby day display heightens pressure?

    I formed the impression, I put it no stronger than that, that the 20 game winless run under Martin was brought to an end because the players started listening to Allen and stopped listening to Martin, who had become listless and uninvolved watching his attitude on the touchline. There then...

    Season 24/25 | The Official Match Thread | Cardiff City 3 Swansea City 0 | The EFL Championship

    I must disagree. Have you forgotten Ronald when he first arrived? He terrified the life out of defences. Cullen playing for Wales? A completely different player. But quality can be coached out of a player, just as easily as in. This squad is capable of attacking football, but for that the...

    Is Luke Williams time up at Swansea City - will Baggies links be the end?

    One explanation for this: Several times I have thought LW just flaps his jaw "stream of consciousness" style and this WBA possible opportunity was what was in his mind at that moment. The words didn't mean very much, just an unguarded babble about a possibility that that had come up and he was...

    Has he gone? Or if not when will it happen?

    If he's going, what they might do is just let him go and agree an Arbitrator on compensation (person or system). That avoids the issue bunging up the works for both clubs, but it also means that neither club gets what it wants and thinks it should get, but they get what's fair.

    Has he gone? Or if not when will it happen?

    If LW goes to WBA he won't get severance, because he's not being severed, he would be leaving. However, WBA would have to buy out his contract, and that will require negotiation.

    Is Luke Williams time up at Swansea City - will Baggies links be the end?

    A goal conceded to the rush press against Luton, and nearly cost the win, a goal conceded to the rush press against Portsmouth (OK, it was the last one, so hardly important). Every time he experiments with the back line these goals start leaking again, and he keeps experimenting.

    Stoke manager gone

    Probably not. Most coaching contracts have performance clauses these days, and when fans ask "Why now" it's often because he was below the metrics, the Board have decided they want him gone, but if he squeezed a win next week they have to pay more compensation.

    🍾🥳🎉🎊Club To Be Sold

    Kaplan and Levein bought the club on behalf of their wealth fund, and it's been an investment that has made a stonking capital loss. They will have been writing it down every year and using profit to shore up the numbers, but I can't help but suspect that this sale will include a complicated...

    Darling and Cabango

    If they want to walk away, they will. If they have decided it's time for a change there is nothing that the management can do about it. If you bribe a man to stay who has decided he wants to go, you don't get what you paid for, just an unhappy guy trapped by money. Been there, done that, it...

    2nd November 1991, U2 were top with 'The Fly'. Adams was top the week before. It's shite, so don't bother.
