He was forced into it by results so bad that most other managers would have been sacked long before. There's no real evidence to suggest that had we given him even more money to piss away things would have been different. Indeed, his subsequent career at both Southampton and Rangers say otherwise.

I don't know why people keep banging on about style. For the most part we haven't had one since Potter left. Certainly most of the vehement Sheehan critics have the whiff of Martin apologia about them. It's one game, after an injury hit pre-season, when we're likely to have at least two...

Must admit, as much as I loathe Russy even I thought he couldn't possibly screw things up in a two horse race. For once I appear to have overestimated him.

As others have mentioned, Sheehan made good use of Fulton in our run of form last season so not a massive shock to see him start again as a defensive shield today, especially given Cabango's lack of pre-season minutes.

It's probably a situation that's been made worse by downgrading Academy status. The quality of opposition the youth teams face has dropped. I mean, the MG cup is all well and good, but are they really testing themselves against the likes of Afan Lido?

I think we're basically allowed to bully other Academies and nick their players for peanuts too.

Wilson is 21 in December. He should have at least one, preferably two full seasons out on loan under his belt by now. We keep these players trapped in the youth setup for far too long. It delays and I think damages their development. There's no substitute for proper, competitive football.

From a Jack to a King and back again? It's a little bit "bandwagon" for me. I think there are ways to use the links to generate income that don't necessarily require just copying the Wrexham model (loved the idea of a Swans/Snoop beer tie in) but it can't hurt much in the short term.

Someone needs to sit down with Snoop and teach him how to pronounce Swansea properly though.

We haven't yet.

We scored over 100 goals in all competitions that season. One of the most fun in my time watching the Swans.

I have never been as cold regarding a Swans game as I have walking down the Bayswater Road on the way to that final, and I can remember an Autoglass/JPT/Whatever match against Walsall that saw me banging my feet against the floor to get some sort of feeling into them when it went to extra time.

Forest is obviously the biggie. Some huge Premier League wins there too. I'll chuck in one that nobody else seems to have mentioned anywhere. The second leg of the League Cup semi against Chelsea. 90+ minutes of tension hoping that we wouldn't concede a goal to open the floodgates followed by...

Think we need to see him playing at a higher standard to see what he's really capable of, with all due respect to Carolina Core.

Not even one whole season if memory serves. His performances dropped off a cliff when they changed managers.

The Casey deal seems pretty far along and will probably happen. We're likely to be outbid for Kone, which to be honest I'm fine with as the numbers being mooted are way too high for my liking considering his contract status and the fact that he's only really played well for less than one full...

Why would Rangers be paying Gerrard off?

Yeah, pretty much.

Because he wasted two years of our time and resources on trying to make himself look good instead of doing what was best for Swansea City. Why would any right thinking Swans fan not enjoy the sight of him making an arse of himself given that?

Probably an element of truth to that.
