Well it's all very well and good getting to the playoffs but apart from a socially distanced trip to Wembley, you have the same to show for it come June as the team who finished 20th.

He's a good manager and did a good job here. But we had nothing to show for his time here in the end really did we?

Cooper used his old under 17 players to enhance his reputation with ultimately no positive results for us. Didn't leave us in any better position than he found us. Russ PR'ed and statballed his way through a terrible run of form to land a better job. Nothing to show for us. Didn't leave us in...

I'd have Allen involved if it was something he wanted.

We've not made a single step forward in any regard since before COVID. The only place we are currently going is downwards. Apart from Cullen (and he's spent a lot of time shoved out wide) and to a lesser extent, Ollie Cooper, we haven't developed a single player who has provided any benefit to...

It'll be a whitewash at this rate

Where we are at present, we could probably do with an older manager who isn't particularly looking to immediately take the next step. The problem with these young ambitious managers is that they're mainly only concerned with enhancing their own reputation and so only want to play the way that...

Actually was it Potter that dropped Mulder for poppadom hands Nortdfelt? If so, then yes, you're right.

To be fair, in one of my "where did it all go wrong?" considerations yesterday, I did wonder what would've happened if we'd kept a couple of those players that season. Even if it had been the Ayews.

Yes I think so and he was very raw for a while..I'm pretty sure it took him until Christmas to really get going. So Potter certainly didn't have a ready made Daniel James at his disposal. And even McBurnie hadn't played much at this level before that season either. Had those players not had...

I think for a relatively young manager coming into a relegated club that was shredding players like nobodies business, Potter did okay. James hadn't played a game for us and took a while to get up and running.

Players used to leave the Swans and do nothing. Now it's the opposite. They leave and progress.

I did hesitate but I was convinced by 'that' goal against Manchester City and how exciting Dan James was to watch that season.

I don't disagree with you on Ronald necessarily and I'm certainly not a huge fan of him. But he's been one of our better signings in recent years. Which probably says it all.

This is one of the best posts I've read on here in ages. What I'd also add to this is that because hardly anyone else was trying to play football in the way that we were, we could attract players who were perfectly suited to our style but surplus to requirements elsewhere. Now, every team in...

We've been at the new stadium now for 20 seasons. In those 20 seasons, I reckon we've played exciting, attacking, passing football in the following: 2 under Martinez 2 under Rodgers 1 under Laudrup (with some notable performances in his second season) 1 under Potter Can't think of many more

Ronald's problem is that he's very inconsistent and when he's bad he's abysmal. Although I do wonder whether he'd be better with more threat around him. All that said, he's been involved in 7 of our 30 goals this season so almost a quarter of them have been down to him. Ronald - 1 goal, 6...

To be fair to him he has 6 assists and 1 goal this season and can cause teams problems on his day. If he cost £1m then to me, that's a decent return. Especially when compared with how much we've spent on people like Tymon, Bianchini, Eom, the Ukrainian, Pederson, etc etc etc

Someone who can help us bring in good players at a decent price in markets that other teams are perhaps overlooking. Ronald and Franco are examples of us getting decent value where other sides aren't looking. I know Ronald blows hot and cold but he's infinitely better than we'd have got from...

Personally, I would be appointing Sheehan until the end of the season. I would then use that time to start to look for and talk with other options. The whole 'blueprint' (assuming we have one) should be torn up..no "Swansea Way" bollocks. We should be asking potential candidates what their...
