This issue is the owners, they have no footballing understanding and have just mistake after mistake with no real convictions coming from them.
Potter was brought in by Potter to restyle the club after relegation and within weeks the owners backtracked on promises and it lasted a year and he was picked up by a bigger club.
Cooper was the real disappointment as we had a squad capable of promotion but we played a style to not lose rather than to win, the latter a style that Brentford adopted to pip us to the Premier league, a style if we had adopted that would have made that final and even the season itself far more interesting.
He wanted more money to get a striker that ultimately he had in Gykores but wasn't able to see his potential.
Cooper went as he wanted more backing and the board were not prepared to do this.
Martin came in, a squad that was ripped apart and changes afoot. He put in his plans and a poor season came, it wasn't a suprise to many but a seed that we were better than we were had been put in.....mainly down to anger from fellow fans who took it to personal with others calls for Cooper to go.
Second season, a poor start was then brought round and came to a stop for the WC. In returning from the WC a battle had pursued with the board and Martin, Martin was looking for a new contract and things became sour that ultimately let to a disastrous January window. The team pulled things around and fell short. Martin was left upset from broken promises and no further progression with a new contract but the board had made up their mind that a new man to tweak it would see it go in the right direction.
Martin left after the boards failure in January and in offering him a new contract.
Now for the funny bit, a little tweak here and there.......we appoint Paul Watson, a guy who has absolute zero background in our style and ethos, one who has the gold dust to put on top of a team that done so well towards the end of the previous season but had lost Manning and we're going to lose Piroe and Ntcham.
The appointment of Duff, a man who plays pragmatic results based football, totally opposite to our style but he gets results........surely the players will go from one extreme to another and Duff will carry on from where he left off at Barnsley.
Our window was OK, enough to get us solid mid table but the fans who see football on paper see us as a top 6 team as they did the previous 2 seasons
It's gone bad under Duff, worse than many would have thought giving our signings were decent.
Losing Piroe, replaced by Yates and/or Mykolo
Cundle going to be replaced by Patino
Manning going to be replaced by Tymon(who as it goes I think will turn out OK).
Ntcham gone to be replaced by Patino(but wait, he replaced Cundle) a player totally opposite in style to Ntcham.....but he can okay there we are told but quite clearly seeing him hit the grass and player then as neat a player he is, he is not that player who will chip in with 8/10 goals from midfield.
Clusterfook after Clusterfook from our board.......yanks with little football knowledge with no idea of the ethos of Swansea City.
