Is Vitor Matos the Right Fit for Swansea City? The Case for Patience

[Swans Jack]

The success rate for managers with experience vs managers no experience seems to be largely the same. If Matos is going to be a success then the likelihood is that he will be one no matter how many games he's currently been in charge of. All the best coaches have to start somewhere, and it's not as if he's being plucked from Cradley Town's youth team.

Bottom line is I just want to be entertained. I could live with not being promoted as long as I'm not bored out of my skull every other Saturday. Getting back to the Prem would be great, but as long as the other criteria is met I could live without it.

Perfectly said. I was dropping off watching Sheehan team this season. Fans will come back if we are showing signs of some progress. And we build on that.

I read that he's an attacking coach but 13 goals in 12 games suggests that he's not as effective as he'd like to be. Maybe his players aren't getting the message or they're not suited to his set up?

Or maybe they don't have calibre of players at his disposal. No excuses really for Matos. He will have one of the most in form strikers in VP. A excellent keeper in Vig. Solid defense and experience in Cabango and Burgess and an exciting midfield of Galbraith and Co. I am still one that believes we have a good squad and if we have more intent and better tactics we can push on.

Why are we taking a chance, yet again, on an unproven manager at this level?

Agreed but Hellberg would be a risk as well. Only option would be to get a championship manager. Maybe they felt there isn't one that matches the club's direction?
