    Sorry when did I say this ? The closest I’ve got to what you’ve said is deriding people for supporting him then withdrawing support so quickly which is what I warned about before the appt

    He became an amazing player for us after looking so limited under Jackett.

    Nostalgic Old Grounds

    The old Wembley stadium stands out. Although Northampton Town game was a gutter.

    Well no unless you have zero integrity. I can only speak for myself but I was ridiculed for my opinion at the time so I can’t just let it slide.

    Things that annoy you more than they should

    I’m not a complete puritan on this I get that quick photo or a little clip half way through etc. But it does my swede in the type that block views without a seconds thought it’s just rude and I don’t get it either. Enjoy yourself.

    No we wouldn’t have as has been proven. This opinion continues to baffle me. He was a coach that was given a the manager job on a temp basis. There was no track record of actual ‘management’ it was a punt based on a run of results nothing else behind it. Alan Tate did a great job filling in as...

    Things that annoy you more than they should

    People who attend gigs and decide to film the thing on their phone. Absolute bladders

    Martin - please god, NO!!

    Yep. Shouldn’t even be discussed. But some are absolutely obsessed with the geezer

    Good post. The problem has been the gradual erosion of what made us successful. It was never being pragmatic and favouring “direct” football. When the swans have followed the latter path it has invariably led to disaster. Passing football is in our dna. The problem has been the idea keeping...

    That last paragraph is key. He does have experience even if it’s in a relatively easier environment. Sheehan was much more of a punt than someone who has five years success as a manager. I can’t pretend I know much about him but I’m definitely more optimistic. It does feel more fresh than...

    100% it’ll be a done deal I’m sure. But obviously legally they have to be careful.

    Can we afford not to? I’ll repeat. It’s FAR more costly to overhaul your squad every year, pay compensation. Then you have the opportunity costs of missed gate receipts, television revenue etc. We have to stop viewing an appointment as a high cost. We should look at it through a ROI.

    It’s certainly interesting I don’t know how that could really work in practice but it’s definitely interesting. You’d probably have to structure something like that based on a performance related angle. Almost like a clean sheet bonus. Any additional revenue they would get a cut of that...

    Good post. Completely agree with your sentiments. I’ve always been frustrated by this type of supporter. They are of course entitled to their viewpoint but the way they have this weird sense of superiority when they are so often wrong is quite bizarre. As you say I sincerely hope we get it...

    No joy in this whatsoever. He wasnt the right man for the job. He didn’t want it and he served us well. I’m grateful for the efforts he has put in. He’ll do a good job elsewhere as an assistant or potentially in L2 as a manager. Good luck Alan.

    Okay that does it the usual suspects don’t want him. Therefore he’s the right man for the job. Your “laptop manager” comment too jeez. I bet you love a bit of “passion” This is an insane idea but employing someone with no experience was a great idea. Listen to yourself old boy.

    Poll, Sheehan In/Out/More Time

    “It’s not about a “proven” manager. I’m interested to know what Sheehans ambitions are for building the club from the bottom up. Is he good at identifying players? Does he have the contacts? Is the bounce related to brilliant management or simply a buzz returning to dressing room and also...
