And he went to Southampton and Rangers and did all the stupid shit again. I think that's why, despite serious competition, he's a contender for worst Swansea manager of my lifetime. All along he knew how to get the team playing better. He just refused to out of sheer arrogance and a need to...

People keep banging on about that run in like it was somehow a vindication of Martin's processes instead of the final damning proof that they didn't work. We changed from what he was trying to do and played a way that people had been begging for for months and we immediately looked like a...

He is an embarassingly poor manager. Was poor for us, was poor for Southampton, was poor for Rangers. Anyone even remotely contemplating he possibility that bringing him back might be a good idea needs sectioning.

You'd think. Yalcouye's natural position may conflict with Widell's though. Do we push MW forward in the meantime? Lots of variables.

I would say that all bets are off as far as our midfield is concerned IF Hellberg is as "all action" as some people believe. Hard to say who will get a look in.

It clearly started slipping before that. The decision to replace Laudrup with Monk on a permanent basis, even after GM led us on a run of something like two wins in thirteen games was an indication of problems at the top. It accelerated after the takeover no doubt. Jenkins was left with the...

In defence of our wingers, the comments earlier in the thread about the style of play and the "420 passes" stuff is a big part of their problem IMO. Cast your minds back to when we had Dyer and Routledge on the wing. I'd wager that both of them got the ball on average 10-15 yards further up the...

When I was a kid I went to every home game I could. Even Welsh cup matches in front of about 250 people. I think I missed one home league game (and almost no cup ones) in a spell of about 15-20 years up until Covid. This season I only bothered with Man City in the cup, have already missed one in...

It was only partly down to performances. Issues off the pitch and the whole Tutumlu thing had strained relations. Similar sort of thing happened with Sousa. Monk was appointed because Jenkins thought he was malleable. Big mistake.

I'd rather shut the club down and go and do something else on Saturdays than have the bearded ball bag back.

It's Mamma Mia tonight, Abba Voyage tomorrow.

I don't recall Dimi ever being abusive. He was however fucking boring, which is considerably worse in my view. Post after post, paragraph after paragraph explaining in tedious detail precisely why he was right and everyone else was wrong.

The same could have been said about Curt during his time on the coaching staff, yet KOL gets a slagging and he didn't. Swans fans eh?

There's been no shortage of resources pumped in since we got relegated. It was more than £10m a year even with Levien and co. We reached the playoffs in two out of the first three seasons following our relegation. The single biggest mistake we made was allowing Russell Martin to stink the place...

Reading it the same way as you. They're clearly optimistic about filling the job during the international window. If they are the kind of people that we think (maybe just hope) that they are then they should have a selection of alternatives available for every meaningful position at the club...

Your insistence that you somehow "could see it a mile off" would be a lot more believable if past experience hadn't tought me that you are precisely the kind of chap who insisted to the end that Russell Martin just hadn't been backed enough.

He wanted to play with three central midfielders and no #10. That was duller to watch than a Rugby game so he's had to change it. Of the two I think Eom is perhaps better suited to playing as a #10, but I'd take Widell at a push. Widell to me seems like a Ntcham type player. A charging #8...

I don't think anyone really knows what KOL does, which doesn't stop people grumping about him. For all we know he does as much around the place as Curt did, but with more flak. I might be being harsh but he is damned by association. We can't keep doing the same thing over and over and expecting...

I'm veering towards a "Clear the lot of them out" approach. Maybe foolishly when it comes to Margetson, but a completely fresh approach probably wouldn't hurt us. That does depend on a club management willing to look past the kind of bullshit artists who will sell them on the idea of instilling...

When you lose the crowd to the extent he appears to have done then in most cases it's all over bar the shouting. The atmosphere at the final whistle yesterday was downright ugly. I'd regret it but it's probably time to pull the plug. As much as I want him to do well the results simply haven't...
