A New Dawn in SA1: Can Richard Montague's Recruitment Drive Propel Swansea City to Promotion?

[Swim (A)]

We have been though this. NO. Even if David fking Blaine takes over. Nothing is going to get us promoted. Other than 20 teams getting points off and that would need to be 30 point deductions for some teams. If you are going to keep asking questions, why not ask sensible ones like "Can we achieve safety early this year?" or other questions a sane person would ask.

I think you will be surprised on the striker front

Tell us more …

It’s Endrick isn’t it?

 

[Risc]

Negotiating and closing the deals is literally leading the recruitment ?

a person who doesn’t pick the players is leading recruitment?

Montague himself seems to disagree

 

[Risc]

Also, where has this notion come from where we’ve struggled to close deals? We’ve signed a shedload of players, the issue is the profile of all these players and how far away we moved from what got us success us previously.

Jacob Wright the only one in recent memory is the only one that has fallen through.

Not read the article just the comments.

As I said in another thread, now IS the time to get carried away with bucket fulls of optimism and hope. Yeah we may end up having a shite or mediocre season, but if you can’t get up for it now, you never will.

Miserable bastards.

Jack Army!

In fairness up until this window we have struggled to close deals since around 2018 or 2019

The Levien masterclass.

Which ones though Phil? We’ve signed a shedload of players.

Just to be clear here I’m not slagging Monty off I’m glad he’s here but the god like status I find a bit odd.

I would say that a lot of deals haven't happened over the years......we wouldn't really have much of an idea.

I don't think Levien and Kaplan helped. The new board seems to be more adventurous and not willing to sit on their hands.

We have signed a shed load of players but look at all the ones we didn’t get over the line due to an unnerving belief that we were always in pole position - constant fuck ups by levien kaplan Silverstein and Coleman etc

For montague he’s doing an excellent job backed up by a good plan, strategy and seemingly a good team and as director of football he will take a good chunk of the credit (and of course the flak if it went wrong )

I don’t disagree with that as such, and we’ll always not land players, Poku and McBurnie

Yeah we’ll always not close deals I suppose, Poku and McBurnie this summer as an example so I was wrong with my initial comment that we’ve never failed, but I just think the notion he’s completely reshuffled the department is out as this was all put in place after the takeover, and the targets we’ve landed were all there in January, as we’ve seen with Galbraith. However, I do agree he’s doing a fine job at closing them out this summer and hopefully it continues, he’s been an upgrade on Coleman in that regard

 

[PSumbler]

I’d be impressed if we managed to find anyone who was a downgrade on Coleman given he was largely hopeless

Coleman's mayonnaise was an upgrade on Coleman to be fair Risc
(and for the record I hate mayo even more than marmite)

That’s the spirit!!

Realistic expectations are pathway to ongoing happiness. Lets see who is whining when we are hovering above the relegation slots at Xmas. It wont be me. But then I guess you can call me happy clapper instead.
